Rosa 'That's Jazz' - Climbing Rose

The climbing rose 'That's Jazz', not very tall but very floriferous and exceptionally healthy, is a variety with large double red flowers that bloom from top to bottom and continuously from the beginning to the end of summer. The plant thus metamorphoses into a shining and highly flowered column for months, much to the gardener's delight. Beautiful dark green foliage perfectly highlights this generous flowering, which remains attractive throughout the season. This small climbing rose with an exuberant habit is a versatile variety which can also be grown as a bush according to each gardener's taste. It can also be planted in a large pot to beautify the terrace or balcony.

The Rose 'That's Jazz' or 'Poulnorm' is a Poulsen creation introduced in 2000. It is part of a series of repeat-flowering roses called Courtyard that bloom all along their stems, including near the ground, unlike many other climbing roses whose base is often bare. This modern rose produces large cone-shaped hybrid tea-type flowers gathered in small clusters. Its growth is fast, developing long erect woody climbing stems, green and more or less covered with sharp reddish thorns, flexible enough to be trained. This variety reaches an average height of 2.50 m with a spread of 1.25 m (4ft). Its stems are covered with glossy and tough foliage divided into large dentate leaflets, naturally resistant to rose diseases under good growing conditions. Its cone-shaped flowers measure 10 to 12 cm (4 to 5in) in diameter, composed of more than 25 velvety dark red petals. They have a light fragrance. The flowering is continuous from June to October if the soil remains somewhat moist in summer. It is a hardy rose with foliage that turns yellow and falls in autumn.

'That's Jazz' is a generous and versatile rose, which radiates under the sun and attracts all eyes in the garden. It is ideal for dressing up a small structure, a fence, or even the railing of a staircase, its compact growth also allows it to be grown as a bush through appropriate pruning or even cultivated in a container. Its red flowering pairs well with the 'Prince Charles' clematis, blue, or Miss Bateman, with white flowers. It is an ideal companion for spring or summer flowering shrubs. Lilacs, elderberries, viburnums and other deutzias will be good companions. Compact and highly floriferous, it adds beauty to any setting without requiring much effort from the person who planted it.
