Rosa Starlet Rose 'Eva' - Climbing Rose

The Starlet Rose 'Eva' Rose allows everyone to enjoy the charms of a climbing rose even without a garden. Indeed, the moderate growth of this variety allows it to be easily and sustainably cultivated in a pot or container. From mid-spring, this rose produces an abundance of magnificent double roses of intense pink colour, which succeed each other until autumn. With its well-furnished vegetation and its long-lasting flowering, this rose is unmatched for enhancing a living space such as a terrace, patio, or balcony. Easy to grow and requiring little maintenance, this hardy rose can remain outdoors during winter.

The Rose is the most symbolic member of the large botanical family Rosaceae, which includes nearly 5000 species of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants almost all around the globe. A favourite genus of breeders, named Rosa in Latin and consecrated queen of flowers, the rose comes in thousands of varieties of all colours and dimensions.

The 'Eva' Mini Climbing Rose is part of the series "The Starlets of the Roaring Twenties," dedicated to terraces and balconies. These compact climbers are suitable for pot cultivation and offer long-lasting flowering. 'Eva' has lush vegetation, but its size remains compatible with a balcony. At maturity, it forms a beautiful erect tuft that reaches between 1.50 m (5ft) and 2 m (7ft) in height, for about 1 m (3ft) to 1.20 m (4ft) in width. If the vegetation becomes too wide, performing light pruning (during the growing season) to adjust its dimensions to the available space is always possible. The very dense foliage, of a dark green colour with a slight sheen, serves as a true showcase for the flowering by offering it a dark background that magnifies it. From mid-spring to May, double roses appear, composed of numerous petals imbricated with each other. The rounded shape of the petals, the heart of certain flowers sometimes evoking old quartered roses, and their colour give these flowers an irresistible romantic charm, compensating for their lack of fragrance. Produced abundantly, Eva's roses capture attention. The generous flowering repeats until the first frosts in this repeat-flowering variety. It is advisable to remove faded flowers to promote the growth of new flower buds.

Showing good hardiness, up to -20 °C (- 4°F) approximately, Eva grows in sunny, even semi-shaded positions, although flowering will be more abundant in the sun. Regular watering and fertilization during the season will allow it to give its best.

The 'Eva' Mini Climbing Rose is an excellent choice to enhance a friendly space, even in a small size. Its abundant bright flowering creates an attractive scene throughout the summer. To accompany it, if space allows, associate it with climbers with fragrant flowering, such as Lonicera Japonica Mint Crisp, a Honeysuckle with variegated leaves that you can position in the least sun-exposed corner. Its semi-evergreen yellow and green foliage is already decorative for a good part of the year. Above all, its yellow flowers gradually turning white will perfume your balcony or terrace from June to September. Or opt for an Azores Jasmine (Jasminum azoricum), with small white star-shaped flowers that bloom all summer, diffusing a delicious fragrance. To enjoy abundant flowering, look to the Clematis, which offers an entire range of plant colours and single or double flowers of all sizes.
