Climbing Old Blush

Climbing Old Blush rose, a form of Old Blush China rose, and old antique China rose that has been growing in China and Asia for a thousand years and has been cultivated and growing in Britain since around 1750.
This climbing sport of the ancient ‘Old Blush’ China, was first introduced to America in 1752 and reintroduced in 1793. ‘Old Blush’, also known as ‘Parson’s Pink China’ and Monthly Rose, was one of the first repeat-blooming roses brought to the West, and consequently was very popular in the early 19th century. Considered one of the most garden worthy of the old Chinas, this important cultivar provided part of the parentage of rose hybrids to come.
