Heirloom Roses The Pilgrim

This is a vigorous climber that reaches up to 12 feet in height and spreads about 5 feet wide. You will need a sturdy support structure like a fence, wall, or obelisk to train its long canes properly.

The Pilgrim is a continual bloomer, meaning it will provide consistent yellow flowers from the start of the season until the frost, rather than just a single flush of color.

Unlike grafted roses, which are joined to a different rootstock, these roses are grown on their own root systems. This generally results in better long-term hardiness and ensures that if the plant dies back to the ground in winter, it will regrow true to the original variety.

Yes, The Pilgrim performs well in both full sun and partial shade. While full sun will maximize bloom production, it is versatile enough to thrive in areas with slightly less direct light.

The fragrance is considered exceptionally strong, featuring classic notes of tea and myrrh. Because the blooms are full and hold up well, they are excellent for cutting and bringing that scent indoors.

Yes, its own-root growth habit makes it more reliable and easier to maintain than many grafted varieties. As long as you provide it with well-drained, loamy soil and about 1-2 inches of water per week, it is a manageable choice for gardeners of all experience levels.
