About America™ Potted Climbing Rose Bush

Rosa ‘JACclam’ – America™

America™ is a classic American-bred climbing rose admired for its rich coral-pink blooms, spicy fragrance, and reliable repeat performance. Introduced by Jackson & Perkins in 1976 and bred by William A. Warriner, this award-winning climber brings a patriotic burst of color and fragrance to arbors, fences, and trellises. Its large, double blossoms appear in flushes from late spring through frost, glowing warmly against deep green foliage.
