Our collection of mauve, purple and "blue" climbing roses. These climbing roses offer a palette of rare, subtle and shifting hues. This colour is uncommon among roses; they create an atmosphere of mystery and romance in the garden. From plum to bluish lavender through deep violet, these shades evolve depending on the light, temperature or stage of flowering.
The vigorous rambling rose ‘Veilchenblau’ is covered in early summer with clusters of small semi-double flowers, initially purple-violet, turning to bluish mauve at maturity. It's ideal for quickly covering an arbour or an old wall. ‘Perennial Blue’ is a miniature climbing rose that produces small clusters of purple-pink flowers turning to lavender blue as they fade. The particularly vigorous rose ‘Rose Synactif by Shiseido’ offers large, very double flowers in a rich purple-pink, with a refined and persistent fragrance. It can be trained as a small climber on a discreet support, where it reveals the full richness of its flowering. The old rose ‘William Lobb’, an impressive moss rose, can also be trained: in summer, it is covered with satiny roses, from magenta purple to greyish lilac, with a sweet fragrance.
Like all roses, these thrive in full sun, in rich, deep and well-drained soil. Tie the young shoots from planting to evenly distribute the flowering. Non-perpetual varieties should be pruned after flowering, while perpetual varieties can be stimulated by light pruning in summer.
