🌺 Fifty Petals of Pure Romance

True Devotion™ has the kind of flower you might expect to find on an old-fashioned English-style shrub rose.

Soft pink.

Very full.

More than 50 petals.

Strongly fragrant.

But instead of staying at shrub height, True Devotion™ sends those romantic flowers upward on climbing canes.

At around 8 feet, it's also considerably more manageable than the giant rambling roses that can eventually consume a pergola—or possibly a small outbuilding.

This is a climber you can actually find a place for.

👃 A Climber Chosen for Fragrance

If you're going to cover an arbor in roses, shouldn't you be able to smell them when you walk underneath?

True Devotion™ makes a compelling case for yes.

Its pale pink flowers carry a strong sweet fragrance with spicy undertones, adding another dimension to the vertical display.

Train it beside a garden gate.

Grow it near a patio.

Let it climb over an arbor you walk beneath every day.

This is a rose meant to be experienced up close.

🧬 Bred by Ping Lim

True Devotion™ was created by renowned rose breeder Ping Lim, whose work has focused heavily on bringing together two characteristics that historically haven't always gone hand in hand:

Beautiful, traditional rose flowers and modern garden performance.

True Devotion's parentage is:

‘Heritage’ × ‘High Voltage’

That pedigree resulted in a rose combining lush flower form, strong fragrance, vigorous climbing growth, and excellent disease resistance.

True Devotion™ was also recognized at the American Rose Center International Rose Trials, receiving the Dr. Charles & Carolyn Beaird Award for Best Climbing Rose in 2023.

Pretty has proof.

🌹 The True Bloom Roses® Difference

True Bloom Roses® were developed around a simple idea:

Gardeners shouldn't have to choose between beautiful roses and easy roses.

The breeding program combines the flower qualities associated with traditional Hybrid Tea-type roses—large blooms, lots of petals, beautiful colors, and fragrance—with the health and disease resistance expected from modern landscape roses.

True Devotion™ takes that philosophy vertical.

You get the romantic flower.

You get the fragrance.

You get the climbing habit.

And you get modern plant health.

💛 Why Grace Rose Farm Loves It

True Devotion™ is the kind of rose an arbor was invented for.

Imagine walking beneath an arch covered in soft blush-pink flowers with 50+ petals, then catching that sweet, spicy fragrance as you pass underneath.

That's the experience this rose can create.

We also love its scale.

At approximately 8 feet, True Devotion™ gives you enough growth to create a beautiful vertical statement without requiring the enormous structure demanded by some old climbing roses.

And underneath all that romance is something very practical:

Excellent disease resistance.

Beautiful enough for the collector.

Easy enough for the gardener.

Fragrant enough that you'll find yourself standing underneath it longer than necessary.

That's True Devotion™.

🌿 Growing & Care Recommendations

Planting Site: Choose a location in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil.

Support: Provide a sturdy arbor, trellis, fence, pillar, or wall support as the climbing canes develop.

Training: Guide major canes horizontally or diagonally whenever possible rather than allowing every cane to grow straight upward. This encourages more flowering laterals along the length of the plant.

Watering: Water deeply after planting and maintain consistent moisture while your bare-root rose establishes its root system.

Pruning: Avoid heavily pruning a young climber. Allow True Devotion™ to establish its primary framework of long canes first. As the plant matures, remove dead or damaged growth and selectively renew older canes as needed.

Container Growing: Its relatively compact climbing habit makes True Devotion™ suitable for a large patio container equipped with a sturdy trellis. Container-grown roses will require more frequent watering.

Fragrance Placement: This is one to grow near people. Place it around an entrance, walkway, patio, arbor, or seating area where its strong sweet-and-spicy fragrance can be appreciated.
