Rosa 'Kew Rambler' is an attractive rambling, thorny rose with a vigorous growth habit and grey-green foliage. In summer it bears masses of rose-pink flowers with a white centre and golden-yellow stamens, resembling wild roses. Flowers are borne in trusses and have a strong, musk fragrance. Attractive orange-red hips appear in autumn. The single, open nature of its flowers make Rosa 'Kew Rambler' a good plant for bees.
Grow Rosa 'Kew Rambler' against a wall or up tree or a strong rose arch or pergola. It is more tolerant of shade than other roses, and may even be grown against a north-facing wall.
