Rise Up Lilac Days™ Climbing Rose is not just another rose—it’s the one people stop and ask about. The color alone sets it apart. Soft lilac with a cool blue cast—something you almost never see in roses. Then the fragrance hits: rich, citrus-spice, the kind that actually carries through the garden air.
 
And unlike old-fashioned climbers that bloom once and quit, this one keeps going. Wave after wave, from early summer into fall.
 
What makes it even more valuable is how you can use it. Train it up a trellis, wrap it around a mailbox, let it climb a fence—or keep it as a compact shrub. Same plant, completely different looks depending on your vision.
 
This is a modern rose done right.
 
Why it stands out:
• Rare lilac-blue tones—truly unique in the rose world
• Strong, noticeable fragrance (not just a hint—you’ll smell it)
• Repeat blooming all season
• Can be grown as a climber or shrub
• Clean foliage—resistant to black spot and powdery mildew
• Thornless, making it easy to handle and train
 
Mature Size:

Prune back in early spring and let it take off. That’s about it.
 
About These Plants:
You’re purchasing a young, vigorous shrub in a 4” deep root pot—not a mature plant. But this is where the advantage is. It establishes quickly, adapts to your soil from day one, and grows fast.
 
This is exactly how you build something extraordinary in the garden—start small, and let it become something unforgettable.
