Blaze Climbing Rose produces brilliant scarlet-red 2-3" roses that begin to appear in June in tremendous quantities on this vigorous climber, then continue intermittently all summer and offer another heavy showing in early fall! One of the most prolific climbing roses. This is a Rose that really shows off against a light colored wall or arbor, but also looks good winding its way along a wooden fence, hiding a chain-link fence effectively, or arching out from a trellis.
