Growing around 2–2.5 metres, it combines an intensely rich classic rose fragrance with juicy redcurrant and blackcurrant notes, repeat flowering from spring until frost and excellent disease resistance.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp class=\"fr-pdp-note\"\u003e\n      Choose it if you want an intensely fragrant red climber with extraordinary flower volume, healthy dense foliage and the unmistakable presence of a rose created to honour one of the world’s most distinctive artists.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n\n    \u003csummary\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"fr-pdp-summary-row\"\u003eFull Description →\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003c\/summary\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"fr-pdp-content\"\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFull Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        If Fernando Botero had sculpted a rose, perhaps it would have looked like this: generous in proportion, impossible to ignore and completely unapologetic about taking up space. Meilland’s Botero seems to translate the Colombian artist’s unmistakable world of abundant forms into petals.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        Its large strawberry-red buds begin with the classical elegance of a Hybrid Tea flower. Then the composition changes. As the bloom opens, layer after layer of petals loosens towards the centre until the flower becomes opulent, almost sculptural, with the rich fullness of an old garden rose.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        The flowers reach approximately 12–14 cm and are densely filled, often approaching 100 petals when fully open. Their intense red colouring rises beautifully against abundant medium-green foliage, creating a display substantial enough to transform an entrance, terrace wall, pergola or fence.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        Then comes the fragrance. Botero releases a powerful, luxurious rose perfume enriched with juicy notes of redcurrant and blackcurrant. It is rich, fruity and unmistakably floral, with enough intensity to become part of the atmosphere around the plant. Position it beside a terrace, entrance or open window and its perfume can drift naturally towards the house on warm summer days.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        The first flowering is exceptionally generous, followed by further blooms throughout summer and a stronger return towards late summer and autumn. Vigorous stems reach approximately 2–2.5 metres and can be trained horizontally or diagonally to encourage flowering along their length.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        Dense foliage and excellent disease resistance support the display, while the strong stems and large flowers are equally valuable for cutting. Botero is not a rose for disappearing politely into the background. Like the artist who inspired its name, it celebrates abundance—and turns it into beauty.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cspan class=\"fr-pdp-close\" onclick=\"this.closest('details').removeAttribute('open');\"\u003e\n        Show less →\n      \u003c\/span\u003e\n\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n\n    \u003csummary\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"fr-pdp-summary-row\"\u003eCharacteristics →\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003c\/summary\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"fr-pdp-content fr-pdp-specs\"\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOfficial name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Climbing Botero®\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety code:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meiafonesar\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large-flowered climbing rose\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBreeder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meilland\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInspiration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Named in honour of Colombian painter and sculptor Fernando Botero\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intense strawberry red\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlower form:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very double, initially classical then opening into a romantic old-rose form\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlower size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 12–14 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePetals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Densely petalled, approximately 70 to nearly 100 depending on flower development\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very strong\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrance character:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich classic rose perfume with juicy redcurrant and blackcurrant notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Repeat flowering from spring until the first frost\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight at maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 2–2.5 m\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vigorous, regular climbing growth requiring support\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dense, satin-finished medium green\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisease resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExposure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting distance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 1–1.5 m\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Walls, fences, arches, pergolas, entrances, terraces, bouquets and floral arrangements\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCut flower performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good vase performance\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quality 1+ premium, second-year climbing rose grafted onto a vigorous rootstock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cspan class=\"fr-pdp-close\" onclick=\"this.closest('details').removeAttribute('open');\"\u003e\n        Show less →\n      \u003c\/span\u003e\n\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n\n    \u003csummary\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"fr-pdp-summary-row\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions →\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003c\/summary\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"fr-pdp-content\"\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        \u003cstrong\u003eWho is the Botero rose named after?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n        Botero honours Fernando Botero, the celebrated Colombian painter and sculptor known for his unmistakably generous, rounded forms.
