Francis E. Lester at a glance
Be enchanted by the graceful Rosa ‘Francis E. Lester’, a climbing rose that transforms your garden with its unique charm and rich history. From June, this beautiful rose adorns itself with clusters of single, large-flowered white roses, each subtly accented by a delicate pink edge and a radiant yellow heart of stamens. The strong, classic rose fragrance fills the air and also attracts numerous bees and butterflies, creating a lively and fragrant oasis. After the spectacular blooming period, ‘Francis E. Lester’ surprises you with an abundance of decorative orange-red rose hips, offering a visual spectacle deep into autumn and adding extra dimension to the garden.
With its vigorous growth and lush bloom, Rosa ‘Francis E. Lester’ is the ideal choice to beautify vertical elements in your garden. Let it climb elegantly against a pergola, an old tree, a fence, or a wall, where it creates a breathtaking floral carpet. This rose is perfect for creating romantic views or as an impressive eye-catcher that draws admiration both during the blooming period and in late summer with its rose hips. It also thrives excellently in a large pot, provided it has enough space and support.
