Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Seven Sisters, also called Grevillei Climbing Rose, is named for the clusters of small but deeply fragrant flowers that develop 7 colors through their maturity; often with each color seen on a cluster at once! The colors are said to be purple, scarlet, red, lighter red, pink, light pink and white. In our opinion the beauty of Seven Sisters isn't in counting the colors but enjoying the rich fragrance and the easy care nature of this hybrid. It isn't a repeater, but makes a great show! Try growing it with a viticella hybrid like Clematis Polish Spirit for color later in the season.
