Jasmina

Full Description:

Jasmina has the rare ability to make every new flowering flush feel like a first encounter. Clusters of violet-pink blooms appear against fresh green foliage, softening the structures they climb and drawing the eye upward through the garden.

Bred in Germany by W. Kordes & Sons and introduced in 2005, Jasmina quickly earned international recognition. Its garden performance earned it the ADR distinction in 2007, while its fragrance was recognised with an award in Nantes.

The flowers measure approximately 6–7 cm and carry a sweet, inviting fragrance. Their violet-pink colouring gives the rose a romantic character without becoming overly formal, making it easy to combine with both traditional and contemporary planting schemes.

Jasmina reaches approximately 2.5 metres at maturity and flowers repeatedly throughout the season. Its healthy foliage provides a generous background for the blooms, while the flexible climbing habit allows it to be trained over arches, pergolas, trellises, fences and walls.

This is a climber for gardeners who want more than height alone: fragrance, softness and the pleasure of seeing a familiar space become beautiful again with every new flush.

Frequently asked questions:

What makes Jasmina such a popular climbing rose?
It combines violet-pink flowers, sweet fragrance, repeat flowering and healthy foliage in a manageable climber that reaches approximately 2.5 metres.

Does Jasmina flower more than once?
Yes. Jasmina produces repeated flowering flushes throughout the season rather than blooming only once.

How strong is the fragrance?
The fragrance is sweet and noticeable, especially when the rose is planted near a path, terrace, arch or seating area.

How large are the flowers?
The blooms are approximately 6–7 cm across and are usually produced in attractive clusters.

How tall does Jasmina grow?
It reaches approximately 2.5 metres, depending on climate, soil, pruning and growing conditions.

Does Jasmina need support?
Yes. It should be tied to a sturdy arch, pergola, trellis, fence or wall support because climbing roses do not cling naturally.

How should I train the stems?
Guide the main canes horizontally or diagonally whenever possible. This helps encourage more flowering shoots along the length of the plant.

Is Jasmina suitable for a smaller garden?

Where should I plant Jasmina?
Choose a sunny position with good air circulation and enough room for the stems to develop. Planting near a frequently used area will help you enjoy its fragrance more often.

What plants combine well with Jasmina?
White roses, lavender, nepeta, blue salvia and silver foliage complement its violet-pink flowers. Clematis can also be trained nearby for a layered vertical display.

Which distinctions has Jasmina received?
Kordes lists ADR 2007 for garden performance and a fragrance award in Nantes.
