About Ash Wednesday Potted Climbing Rose
Rosa ‘Aschermittwoch’ Ash Wednesday
‘Ash Wednesday’ is a rare and quietly beautiful climbing rose, known for its unusual lavender-grey blooms that shift in tone with the light. Introduced by Kordes in 1955 under the original name ‘Aschermittwoch’, this rose brings a haunting, silvery quality to the garden, with elegant flowers that open in soft, romantic clusters. It’s especially beloved for its muted coloration, which pairs beautifully with cool-toned schemes, silvers, and purples. Moderate fragrance and repeat flowering make it a versatile choice for walls, trellises, and romantic mixed borders.
