Peggy Martin Rose

Peggy Martin Rose

Rosa 'Peggy Martin'

Plant portrait: A vigorous climbing rose carrying generous clusters of pink flowers and a remarkable story of survival after Hurricane Katrina.

Garden rhythm: Repeat-blooming climber in warm climates; sun, strong support, regular deep watering while establishing.

Garden companions: Bees may visit the abundant flowers.

Worth noticing: Often called the Hurricane Katrina rose, it survived flooding in Peggy Martin's Louisiana garden and became associated with resilience and garden recovery.
