The Story

Plant Bio

The genus Rosa comprises deciduous and evergreen woody shrubs native primarily to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, characterized by thorny stems and compound leaves. These plants produce flowers with prominent stamens that transition to fleshy, seed-bearing hips after successful pollination.

'Above All' is a vigorous climbing rose distinguished by its continuous production of double, salmon-orange flowers with a moderate fruity fragrance from late spring until frost. It exhibits significantly stronger resistance to black spot and powdery mildew than older climbing cultivars of similar color profiles.

Uses & Benefits:

Provides vertical structure and continuous color with large, fragrant, salmon-orange double flowers over a long season.

Functions as a living screen or barrier when trained along boundary fences or trellises.

Attracts and supports generalist pollinators, native bees, and butterflies with its abundant pollen.

Planting

How to Grow

Select a planting site receiving at least six hours of direct sunlight daily with fertile, well-drained loamy soil.
Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and deep enough to position the graft union just above or at soil level depending on local winter severity.
Install a sturdy trellis, fence, or pillar support system prior to planting to avoid damaging future root structures.
Secure the main canes loosely to the support structure using flexible garden ties, guiding them horizontally to encourage lateral branching.

Pro Tip

Train the main structural canes horizontally along trellises or fences rather than allowing them to grow straight up; horizontal orientation triggers lateral buds to break, maximizing the number of flowering side shoots.

Keep It Thriving

Care Guide

Do

Water deeply at the base of the plant to keep the soil consistently moist without wetting the foliage.
Apply a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring and again after each major flowering flush.
Prune in early spring by removing dead, damaged, or crossing wood and shortening lateral flowering shoots.

Don't

Do not overhead water, as prolonged leaf wetness promotes black spot and powdery mildew infections.
Do not prune the main structural canes back to the ground annually, which destroys the climbing framework.
Do not allow standing water to accumulate around the root zone, as the root system is highly intolerant of wet feet.

Common Questions

Above All Rose questions

What zones can Above All Rose grow in?

Above All Rose is hardy in USDA Zones 5–9. Inside that range it survives winter in the ground; outside it, grow it as an annual or a container plant you protect.

Is Above All Rose deer resistant?

Not reliably. Deer may browse Above All Rose, especially tender spring growth — plan on repellents or fencing where pressure is high.

When does Above All Rose bloom?

Above All Rose typically blooms in late spring through fall. Exact timing shifts a week or two with your zone — Sow's bloom calendar maps it to your garden.

Does Above All Rose need full sun?

Above All Rose does best in full sun to part shade. In hot climates, afternoon shade keeps blooms fresher longer.

Is Above All Rose drought tolerant?

Yes — once established (usually after the first full season), Above All Rose handles dry spells with minimal watering. Water deeply its first year to build the root system that makes that possible.
