Dortmund

Beautiful cherry-red, single blossoms with white eyes.  Generally blooms are borne in clusters.  Very resistant to disease and I have never had it have any disease and I have never sprayed it.  Blooms best in spring and fall, with some blooms throughout the summer.  Very shiny leaves.  There is a very slight fragrance.  Can serve as a climber and under very good conditions, will perform well as a rambler.

Bred by Kordes in Germany, in 1955, seedling x Rosa Kordesii.

This is a wonderful climber, especially for the novice rose gardener as it will grow under any conditions and bloom wonderfully.
