    Noted by Antique Rose Emporium:
    "This is a hardy wichuraiana hybrid that bears springtime flowers of the most beautiful mix of yellow, salmon, and orange. Foliage is dark green on this pliable climber and the fragrance is delicate and pleasing."

    Needs a long fence to grow along. This plant gets BIG, but the leaves look delicate and stay fairly small; there are just so many of them. I love this on my wood privacy fence.
