October – Red Corsair

Red is the most popular colour among roses and gardeners everywhere are always attracted to plant red roses in their gardens. This month, we feature a newer red climbing rose that offers much promise.

‘Red Coisair’ has clusters of semi double blooms of an eye catching fire engine red – a colour that really stands out and brightens any garden. It is almost never without blooms from spring to autumn.  Not much scent but for sheet flower power, this is one worth growing.  A vigorous grower and very healthy, it has semi glossy dark green foliage.

Bred by Kordes of Germany from undisclosed parents, it is a tough, healthy rose that will reward with lots of blooms in any garden. Well worth growing to brighten up a dull corner of the garden or to cover a fence or trellis.

Available from South Pacific Roses Christchurch and Otaki or www.southpacificroses.co.nz
