Looking for a rose fit for royalty? Look no further—this variety was named after Crown Princess Margareta of Sweden, who was the granddaughter of Queen Victoria and an accomplished landscape gardener and artist. The Crown Princess Margareta English Climbing Rose produces beautiful, medium-sized, apricot-orange rosettes. It’s a vigorous climber, reaching heights of up to 6-12 feet. It’s an ideal short climber for walls, fences and arches. This rose’s fragrant blooms also attract butterflies.
This stunner is a repeat bloomer, producing sumptuous flowers from late spring until frost. The blooms produce a strong, fruity fragrance, and are excellent as cut flowers. The Crown Princess Margareta English Climbing Rose also has excellent disease resistance.
Crown Princess Margareta English Climbing Rose Plant Care
Plant this rose in rich soil amended with well-rotted manure or compost. It will do well in a variety of soil types including clay or sandy. It’s also not picky about soil pH. Keep the rose fed by applying fertilizer several times during the growing season. A slow-release, organic fertilizer can be used during the winter so that the next year’s shoots and buds will come out lush. If you regularly cut flowers for the home, fertilize the plant every week. Mulch annually with well-rotted manure or compost. This rose favors moist conditions, but take care not to drown your plant. Provide more water from budding to flowering. After it has begun blooming, wait until the soil is basically dry before watering again. This rose variety will do well in full sun to partial shade.
This plant has strong sprouting abilities, so pruning is necessary to help avoid diseases and pests. After the first bloom, prune lightly. Cut off faded flowers and thin overlapping branches. During the winter, careful pruning is recommended as well.
Crown Princess Margareta English Climbing Rose Plant Spacing
In the garden, space each plant at least 4-5 feet apart. You can also grow Crown Princess Margareta in a pot—just make sure that your pot is large enough to accommodate a plant that can reach 6-12 feet high. The recommended pot size for climbing roses is 7 to 10 gallons.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
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. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

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.
