The Pilgrim (Auswalker) (XL Climbing Rose) at a glance
Be enchanted by the timeless elegance of 'The Pilgrim,' a beautiful creation by David Austin that enriches your garden with its romantic character. This XL climbing rose opens medium-sized, soft yellow flowers subtly enhanced with a touch of apricot, a color palette reminiscent of English country gardens. The strong, classic rose fragrance envelops your outdoor space from early summer to late autumn, and its repeat-flowering nature ensures a continuous flow of beauty. Awarded the prestigious Henry Edland Medal in 1992, 'The Pilgrim' is not only a feast for the eyes but also an ecologically valuable asset that attracts bees and butterflies.
'The Pilgrim' excels as a low climbing rose, gracefully trained against a sunny wall, along a pergola, or over a fence, where its lush bloom fully comes into its own. Also as a large, bushy shrub rose in borders or as a solitary showpiece in a classic or cottage-style garden, it makes an unforgettable impression. The healthy, vigorous growth and good disease resistance make it a reliable and beloved choice for both experienced and novice gardeners. Moreover, the flowers are excellent as cut roses, allowing you to enjoy their charm indoors as well.
