Another one of Peter Ping Lim’s finest cultivars from the Altman Plants’ True Bloom series, True Gratitude Climbing Rose is a versatile, large-flowered climber. It can be trained to scramble up a trellis, fence, or wall or pruned to maintain a traditional shrub-like form. Among this rose series, True Gratitude distinguishes itself with 3 to 4-inch, high-centered blooms made up of petals in pretty pink shades of bubblegum, fiery rose, and fuchsia. Along with its shiny, basil green foliage, True Gratitude Climbing Rose is not a flower to be ignored. This award winner, otherwise known as Rosa ‘LIMkiss’ PP#28,929 and 'Flying Kiss', blooms from spring until autumn and emits a perfume touched with notes of spice.
True Gratitude Climbing Rose is an optimum choice for adding color and height to a landscape, patio, or deck. This rose has an upright growth habit and reaches a height of 5 to 6 feet and spread of 3 to 4 feet. It was cultivated in the United States from genetic lines that trace their heritages back to Europe and Asia. Like its family members, it’s easy to grow and highly disease resistant. With its low-maintenance routine, it poses minimal problems to those new to gardening.
True Gratitude Climbing Rose Care
Start True Gratitude Climbing Rose off on the right track by planting it in a location that gets at least 6 hours of full sun. It prefers soil that is rich, moist, and well draining. Aim for a slightly acidic pH of 6.0 to 6.5. If the soil is not acidic enough, amend with peat moss / coco coir. During the blooming season, feed True Gratitude with a fertilizer formulated for roses every two weeks. Having average watering needs, this cultivar requires at least one inch of water weekly to thrive.
Prune this rose in late winter or early spring by removing any dead, damaged, crossing and diseased stems. Cut back the remaining canes by a third, and shape to encourage horizontal growth. Deadhead spent blooms throughout the flowering season.
True Gratitude Climbing Rose Spacing
True Gratitude Climbing Rose will add color and height to any empty or dull space. Space plants two to three feet apart. Train this rose to climb up a garden wall, trellis, or fence. Plant with companion plants such as shasta daisies, sweet alyssum, and Russian sage to create mixed garden beds. Combine cut rose stems with alstroemeria, ferns, ivy, lilies, and wax flowers to make light, airy bouquets.

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. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
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.
