Miss Scarlet Climbing Rose

Miss Scarlet is a standout small climbing rose from the Jackson & Perkins Around the World Collection, hybridized in New Zealand by John Ford and offered exclusively in the U.S. through J&P. Though modest in stature, with canes stretching 6 to 10 feet, this climber delivers impressively large 4- to 5-inch blooms. The semidouble to double flowers feature 25+ ruffled petals in a vivid orangey red that lights up the garden. Borne in small clusters, each bloom carries a slight, pleasing fragrance, and just a single snip creates a lush, colorful bouquet perfect for enjoying indoors.

Miss Scarlet's glossy medium green foliage creates an elegant backdrop for its bright blooms, giving the plant a polished, refined look. Highly versatile, this climber performs beautifully when trained onto trellises, arbors, fences, or obelisks, where its manageable size makes it ideal for smaller gardens or more intimate spaces. It can also be allowed to grow freely in a fountain-like form for a softer, cascading effect. With its strong disease resistance and vigorous growth, Miss Scarlet adds dependable beauty wherever it's planted. Companion it with clematis, salvia, or soft ornamental grasses to accentuate the warm red tones and create layered structure in the landscape.

Best grown in full sun and well-drained soil, Miss Scarlet responds well to regular watering during establishment and seasonal feeding to encourage abundant flowering. As part of the J&P Roses Around the World Collection, this internationally bred climber showcases exceptional performance, resilience, and distinctive beauty. For gardeners seeking a compact climbing rose with large, eye-catching blooms and easy-care charm, Miss Scarlet delivers a globally inspired flourish of color and elegance.
