Perennial Domino Climbing Rose

Rosa x hybrida 'Perennial Domino'

The Story

Plant Bio

The genus *Rosa* comprises deciduous and evergreen woody perennials characterized by thorny stems, pinnate leaves, and showy, often fragrant flowers. These plants typically climb, scramble, or form upright shrubs, adapting to a wide range of temperate climates across the Northern Hemisphere.

'Perennial Domino' is a vigorous climbing rose distinguished by its exceptional disease resistance and continuous flushes of small, fully double, cherry-red flowers from early summer through fall. The blooms are produced in large, loose clusters and emit a strong, sweet fragrance against glossy, dark green foliage.

Uses & Benefits:

Produces continuous, fragrant, cherry-red double flowers on a vigorous climbing frame.

Creates a dense, thorny barrier or vertical screen when trained on structures.

Provides pollen for bees and generalist insect pollinators throughout the growing season.

Planting

How to Grow

Select a planting site in full sun to partial shade with fertile, well-drained soil.
Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and incorporate organic matter to improve moisture retention.
Install a sturdy support structure, such as a trellis, arbor, or pillar, to support the vigorous climbing canes.
Plant the rose, ensuring the graft union is at or slightly below the soil level, then water deeply and apply a layer of organic mulch.

Pro Tip

Tie the main structural canes horizontally or at a diagonal rather than vertically; this lateral training triggers lateral buds to break, producing a dense wall of flowers instead of blooms only at the tips.

Keep It Thriving

Care Guide

Do

Water deeply at the base of the plant to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Apply a balanced, slow-release organic fertilizer in early spring and again after the first major bloom flush.
Prune lightly in late winter to remove dead or damaged wood and shape the plant.

Don't

Do not overhead water, as wet foliage increases the risk of fungal infections.
Do not shear the plant hard into old, leafless wood that lacks active buds.
Do not allow heavy clay soils to remain waterlogged around the root system.
