Penny lane, a really good climbing Rose which has performed very well every Summer in our garden for the past eight years. Flowers are fully double with a medium fragrance, colour starts off a honey shade then develops to a soft pink.
This repeat blooming variety has very healthy glossy dark green foliage. Surprise, surprise it was named after the street in Liverpool made famous by the Beatles.
I suppose I particulary like this one as it seems to perform well almost regardless of ones pruning method, well within reason.
Have to mention, Penny lane flowers reasonably well even in a north facing position.
Height - 300cm/10ft
