With Rosa 'Bathsheba™', you can add the look of a classic English rose to an arbor, trellis, fence, or wall. This climbing rose produces many-petalled, cupped blooms that open into rosettes in warm apricot and peach tones, and it is noted for a strong myrrh fragrance with hints of sweetness. Expect mature growth around 72-120 inches tall with a spread about 24-48 inches, making it a good choice when you want vertical color without an overly wide footprint.

Plant in full sun for best flowering, though it can perform in part shade (especially with several hours of direct light). Choose a site with fertile, well-drained soil, and water deeply during establishment. A mulch layer helps keep roots cool and moisture more even through summer heat. Feed in spring and again after a flush to support repeat bloom.

As a climber, you will get the most flowers by training long canes as horizontally as practical along wires or a support; this encourages more flowering laterals. Prune in late winter or early spring by removing dead, weak, or crossing wood and shortening side shoots, then retie canes to maintain your framework. Deadhead spent blooms to keep new flowers coming through the season.

Space plants so air can move through the foliage and keep the root zone watered rather than the leaves to reduce disease pressure. In colder areas, protect the crown with extra mulch going into winter. With steady sun, water, and training, this rose can become a fragrant focal point that brings color and structure to your garden year after year.
