The Peggy Martin Climbing Rose is a fast-growing, nearly thornless rose known for its incredible strength and beautiful soft pink blooms. Often called the “Hurricane Katrina Rose,” this variety became famous for surviving extreme flooding, making it one of the toughest roses you can plant.
This vigorous climber produces abundant clusters of romantic pink flowers in spring, creating a stunning display on trellises, fences, arbors, and walls. Its flexible canes are easy to train, allowing you to shape it into a lush vertical accent in any garden.
Low-maintenance and highly disease-resistant, the Peggy Martin Rose thrives in full sun and adapts well to different soil conditions. It’s an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a reliable, hardy, and elegant climbing rose that delivers both beauty and durability year after year.
