Rosa X Zepherine Drouhin

Zepherine Drouhin Rose

Zephirine Drouhin rose (Rosa ‘Zephirine Drouhin’) is a vigorous climber with richly fragrant pink flowers. Its canes carry very few prickles, making it useful on a support near a path or seating area.

Repeated flowering extends from spring into fall. Give the young plant time to build its main framework, then train the flexible canes onto a secure trellis, fence, or arbor.

Grow in sun or partial shade with well-drained soil and regular water during establishment. Provide a secure support, good air circulation, and consistent moisture while the canes develop.
