Fourth of July™ Bare Root Climbing Rose
Rosa ‘WEKroalt’
A bold, patriotic showstopper, Fourth of July™ is a vigorous American-bred climbing rose celebrated for its striking red-and-white striped blooms and festive, spicy-sweet fragrance. Bred by Tom Carruth and introduced in 1999 by Weeks Wholesale Rose Grower, this award-winning climber delivers clusters of unique, semi-double flowers that resemble fireworks in full bloom.
Blooming in repeat flushes from late spring through fall, its eye-catching color pattern and strong growth habit make it ideal for trellises, fences, and garden structures. With glossy foliage and excellent disease resistance, Fourth of July™ is as lively and reliable as its name suggests.
