Notes
'Kiftsgate' rambling rose (Rosa filipes 'Kiftsgate') is a climbing vine for borders. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. White, fragrant flowers open from early to late summer and attract butterflies. Give it plenty of room, because it grows huge and needs a strong support.
Pairs well with Clematis, Japanese maple, and Korean spice viburnum.
