Kordes Tangerine Skies Arborose

Yes, as a climbing rose, it performs best when trained on an arbor, trellis, or fence. If you are gardening in a cooler climate, you can also train it as a pillar or a large, self-supporting shrub.

Since this variety reaches a width of 4 feet, you should space plants at least 4 to 5 feet apart to ensure proper air circulation and accommodate its mature size.

Kordes roses are specifically bred for high disease resistance, and Tangerine Skies is no exception. It is known for maintaining healthy, glossy foliage throughout the season, which reduces the need for chemical interventions.

Being grown on its own root means the plant is propagated from a cutting rather than grafted onto a different rootstock. This typically results in a more consistent plant that will grow true to its variety even if it dies back to the ground in a harsh winter.

Tangerine Skies is a repeat-blooming climber, meaning you can expect multiple flushes of its 4-inch orange flowers from spring through fall, rather than just a single bloom cycle.

While it is primarily intended for in-ground planting due to its 8-foot height, it can be grown in a very large, deep container if you provide a sturdy trellis and consistent watering. However, it will thrive best when planted directly in the garden soil.
