Registered as Dixieland Linda but widely marketed under the name Lady Ashe, this Large-Flowered Climber is a sport of the classic Boerner rose, Aloha. It retains the exceptional vigor, hardiness, and flower form of its parent but differs in coloration. The blooms are large, deeply cupped, and packed with ruffled petals, appearing in a rich blend of salmon-pink, creamy-apricot, and soft orange. They possess a powerful, fruity fragrance often described as having distinct apple notes. The plant is a robust climber, typically reaching 8 to 10 feet with stiff, upright canes that require training while young. The foliage is abundant, leathery, and glossy, offering excellent resistance to blackspot and mildew. It is a reliable repeat bloomer, producing heavy flushes from late spring through autumn.
