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.

Enjoy the admiration of everyone who passes by with a climbing rose that transforms walls into breathtaking displays of rich cardinal red. Sympathie produces large, strongly fragrant flowers in repeated flushes from late spring until the first frost, while its exceptional vigour and award-winning health make it one of the finest climbing roses ever created.

Choose it if you want to cover walls, fences or pergolas with spectacular colour, enjoy powerful fragrance throughout the season and grow a rose that combines beauty with proven reliability.
