Plant details
A large, vigorous and very exotic climber, with large clusters of 5cm (2in) orange-red bell-shaped flowers in late summer and early autumn. 'Madame Galen' is the hardiest and most reliable kind, best grown on a south-facing wall or well-sheltered pergola for good flowering as it is vital that the new growth ripens properly. This is also the ideal situation for showing it off. Although it can be pruned quite hard every year in late winter, it makes a lot of new growth in summer - allow it plenty of room to develop as it needs space to do it justice. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
