Rosa setigera var. tomentosa, commonly known as Climbing Rose, is a deciduous perennial vine native to open woodlands and forest edges in Central and Eastern North America. It can grow to a height of 8-12 feet (2.4-3.7 meters) and a width of 6-10 feet (1.8-3 meters). This plant is characterized by its climbing habit, often supported by other vegetation or structures, and its prickly stems. The flowers are typically pink and bloom in early summer, with some varieties offering a second bloom period in late summer or early fall. The flowers are moderately showy and attract pollinators.

Climbing Rose is valued for its ornamental flowers and ability to cover trellises, arbors, and fences, providing vertical interest in the garden. It is relatively low maintenance once established and can be used for naturalizing areas or as a border plant. It prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, and while it adapts to various soil types, it thrives in well-drained loamy soils. Regular pruning is necessary to maintain its shape and promote vigorous growth. Potential problems include susceptibility to diseases such as black spot and powdery mildew, and pests like aphids and spider mites.CC BY-SA 4.0
