America™ Climbing Rose may not be old enough to be considered an heirloom or old rose, but it has been available for 50 years and will most likely be around for another 50. This coral-pink climber is as fragrant as it is vigorous. America™ can be pruned at any time of year. This is a climber that blooms on old or current-season wood and in fact, blooms non-stop from late spring until the first frost in fall. Introduced in 1976, Rosa ‘America’™(JACclam) immediately won the All American Rose Selections award for fragrance and color and continues to be impressive 50 years later.
America™ Climbing Rose is a grafted rose that is hardy in USDA zones 6-9 with little winter protection. The thick green foliage stays fresh and disease-free throughout the summer. The large, coral-shaped flowers retain their delicate color even after rain showers or in typical urban pollution. If you have a shed or other structure that needs hiding, America™ will rapidly scramble up and over to provide a living screen, full of pollen and nectar for wildlife.
America™ Climbing Rose Care
Plant climbing roses in a full-sun location with average soil pH and texture. Roses appreciate soil that is well draining but also retains moisture. Mulch around the root zone with 2-3 inches of organic compost or fine arborist chips to keep weeds from growing and to hold moisture in the soil. Always plant grafted roses with the graft union just below the soil's surface. If you garden in a colder zone, the union should be up to 3 inches below the surface for insulation during the winter. Fertilize climbing roses at the beginning of the growing season. They are heavy feeders and do their best with a fertilizer formulated for roses and other blooming shrubs. Look for a 4-6-4 ratio of NPK and follow the manufacturer's recommendation.
America™ can be pruned at any time. It blooms on both old and new wood. Late winter and early spring are the traditional times to prune back any dead, diseased, and dying branches and set the stage for the new season. Deadheading will encourage more blooming, but is not a necessity with climbing roses.
America™ Climbing Rose Spacing
Climbing roses need to be given a structure that they can climb with tie supports. America™ can quickly grow to its mature size of 12 feet in just a couple of years. The base of the plant will stay much smaller, and lower stems can be pruned off to make room for neighboring plants. Place any companion plants at least 12 inches out from the base of climbing roses to allow proper root formation for both plants.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
