Rosa Compassion - Climbing Roses
Compassion is a medium-sized climbing rose, with large, well-formed pink flowers that glow apricot at the base of the petals. It's a vigorous plant and reaches about 3 metres. The scent is good, and you will get plenty of flowers after a few years, once a mature, bushy head has developed.
