About Purezza Climbing Rose
Rosa banksiae ‘Purezza’
Rosa banksiae ‘Purezza’ is a nearly thornless climbing rose introduced in 1961 by Domenico Aicardi of Italy. A refined hybrid of the beloved Lady Banks rose, Purezza™ produces cascades of pure white, semi-double blooms in loose, graceful clusters. Its airy, light green foliage and soft, fresh fragrance bring a touch of elegance to arbors, pergolas, and trellises. In warm climates, this vigorous climber will reward you with a generous spring flush and light repeat blooms, all while maintaining excellent health and minimal maintenance needs.
