Surviving two weeks under water after Hurricane Katrina, it’s no doubt ‘Peggy Martin’, a classic Southern Rose, is one of if not the toughest roses on the planet, but she’s also one of the most floriferous. Stunning in bloom, which occurs from late spring all the way to mid fall, she produces LOADS of cute, fragrant double roses that open dark pink and fade to softer pink shades with white overtones. You’ll also be happy to know she’s thornless, which makes trimming much less painful if you want to train or control her size. She’s both heat and cold tolerant thriving in USDA Zones 4 to 9. We’ve seen no serious problems with insects or disease. Just plant her in well-drained soil of average fertility and full to mostly sun for the heaviest flowering. Growing to 15 feet tall and 6 or so feet wide as a climber, Peggy Martin is excellent for growing on fences, trellises and large obelisks, up and over arches and pergolas, up poles or pillars, or to cover a garden shed or other small structure. You can also let her ramble and sprawl as a groundcover on slopes or in garden borders. A great rose in every way!

Growing vigorously to 15 feet tall and around 6 feet wide as a climber, the Peggy Martin Rose is ideal for growing on fences and rails, large trellises, or and over arches, arbors, pergolas and other structures, on poles, or to cover sheds and other building structures. You can also grow her as a groundcover where she’ll ramble and sprawl over walls. A fine addition to cottage gardens, pink theme gardens, cutting gardens, fragrance gardens and as a background in rose gardens.

The Peggy Martin Climbing Rose is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to mostly sun for heaviest bloom. Some shade in the midafternoon is okay, but as with all other roses, morning sun is a must to dry dew from the leaves. We suggest at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Has good drought tolerance when established and we’ve seen nor heard of any serious pest or disease problems. Prune as desired to control size or for shaping purposes.
