Rosa 'Zephirine Drouhin' is a classic Bourbon climbing rose prized for its deep pink, highly fragrant blooms and its nearly thornless canes. You can grow it as a climber trained onto a fence, trellis, arbor, or pillar, or prune it to keep a more shrub-like form. In season it can bloom in repeat flushes, giving you waves of flowers rather than a single brief show.

Give it the best site you can: full sun is ideal for the most flowers and healthier foliage, but it will also perform in part shade (especially in hotter climates). Plant it in well-drained, moderately fertile soil, water deeply while it establishes, and then keep moisture consistent during active growth and bloom. Mature size is often about 120-180 inches tall with a spread around 60-96 inches, so leave room for air flow and for canes to be tied in as they lengthen.

To keep it blooming, remove spent flowers and feed according to your rose-care routine. Prune while dormant in late winter to early spring, focusing on removing dead or weak wood and shaping the framework for support. Because the canes are nearly thornless and the flowers are strongly perfumed, it is a great choice near a path, patio, or entry where you will pass it often.
