Bare-root roses are lifted only after they enter dormancy and the shoots have fully matured and hardened. Lifting them too early can stress the plants and leave young growth insufficiently mature.
We do not force the season simply to ship earlier. We wait for the right point in the plant’s natural cycle, so you receive a strong, well-matured rose ready for planting and the season ahead.
What about colder regions and winter frost?
Waiting until the shoots have fully matured helps the plants enter winter better prepared for low temperatures.
Famous Roses provides a 180-day establishment guarantee for bare-root roses.

Full description:
Some roses make a statement with individual flowers. Super Dorothy captivates through abundance. When it comes into bloom, hundreds of delicate pink blossoms work together to create a cloud of colour that softens every corner of the garden and fills it with a cheerful, romantic atmosphere.
Developed by the renowned House of Kordes, Super Dorothy was bred to offer everything gardeners love about classic rambling roses while adding the advantage of reliable repeat flowering. Its small blooms, measuring around 3 cm across, appear in generous clusters that create an impressive display from summer until the first frost.
Reaching between 2 and 2.5 metres in height, this vigorous climbing rose is ideal for decorating pergolas, arches, walls, fences and other vertical spaces. It quickly transforms plain backgrounds into vibrant living features, bringing movement, softness and colour wherever it grows.
Whether your dream garden is romantic, cottage-inspired or simply full of flowers, Super Dorothy delivers lasting beauty with surprisingly little effort. It is a rose that proves that sometimes the greatest impact comes not from a single spectacular bloom, but from hundreds blooming together.

What makes Super Dorothy different from other climbing roses?
Rather than producing a few large flowers, Super Dorothy creates spectacular clusters of hundreds of small pink blooms that cover the entire plant. The overall effect is soft, abundant and exceptionally romantic.

Where does Super Dorothy perform best?
Its vigorous climbing habit makes it ideal for arches, pergolas, fences, walls and other vertical structures where its flowering cascades can be fully appreciated.
