Description

Rosa 'Silver Moon' is a climbing rose with a very mild apple fragrance.  The flowers are large, up to 5" in diameter and single to semi-double.  They are typically solitary blooms forming in small clusters.  Blooms will appear once in late spring to early summer.  Blooming on old wood, this variety should be pruned after flowering is complete.  It may require winter protection in colder climates.  

Insects, Diseases, and Other Plant Problems:  Although considered to be very disease resistant, there is some susceptible to mildew.
