Peggy Martin Climbing Rose
A nearly unstoppable climber that buries itself in cascades of soft-pink blooms from spring straight through fall.
The Peggy Martin is a vigorous climbing rose famous for the lush waterfall of medium-pink, lightly cupped blooms it carries in big, generous clusters along arching, nearly thornless canes. Reaching 12 to 15 feet with glossy green foliage, it covers fences, arbors, and walls fast, then keeps reblooming through the warm season. Often called the "survivor rose" for its legendary toughness, it pairs old-fashioned charm with an easygoing constitution that forgives beginners and rewards seasoned gardeners alike.
Why growers choose the Peggy Martin
- Long, repeat bloom. Clusters of soft-pink flowers open from spring and keep coming in flushes through fall rather than burning out after a single show.
- Fast, fearless growth. A fast grower that quickly scrambles 12 to 15 feet, making it one of the quickest ways to clothe an arbor, pergola, or fence line.
- Nearly thornless canes. The smooth, flexible canes are easy to train and a pleasure to handle compared with most climbers.
- Famous resilience. Cold-hardy through Zone 4 and prized for surviving harsh conditions, it shrugs off neglect and bounces back season after season.
- Pollinator appeal. The open, abundant clusters draw bees and butterflies all season long.
Train it up a pergola or arbor for a romantic overhead canopy, run it along a fence or wall for a fast living screen, or let it spill over a pillar in a mixed border. Wherever there's vertical space to fill, the Peggy Martin turns it into months of soft-pink color.
