Parade – deep pink climbing rose – Boerner

Parade brings classic, deep-pink, fully double blooms to pergolas, arches and house walls with a richly romantic yet reassuringly reliable performance. This large-flowered climber delivers generous repeat flowering through the season, combining abundant clusters of sizeable blooms with a fragrant rose scent you will notice each time you pass the back door or garden path. Its dense, glossy foliage forms a handsome green backdrop, while proven garden resilience and recognised reliability – including an RHS Award of Garden Merit – mean less worry about common diseases in humid British summers and breezy, coastal locations. As an own-root plant, it settles in steadily and is capable of long-term longevity with balanced growth and good regeneration, suiting busy gardeners who prefer simple seasonal tasks over constant fuss. Given a sunny spot and modest routine care, you can expect a natural development from strong roots in the first year, through building shoots in the second, towards full ornamental splendour by the third, creating an enduring vertical highlight beside paths, patios and classic cottage-style front gardens.

Usage options

Target area Reasoning
Front-garden climber on a house wall Ideal for training beside a doorway or window where its deep pink, fully double blooms and strong classic fragrance can be enjoyed at close quarters. Vigorous height and dense foliage quickly dress bare brick, creating a welcoming cottage-style approach for homeowners.
Pergola or arch in a family garden Its tall, climbing habit and cluster-flowered display make it excellent for clothing pergolas and arches, forming a floral canopy over paths or seating areas. With remontant flowering and relatively low maintenance, it brings long seasonal interest for busy-gardeners.
Fence or trellis screen between neighbours Dense, glossy mid-green foliage and reliable repeat blooming help create a soft, floral screen on fences or trellises, adding privacy without harsh boundaries. Good disease resistance supports a neat look over many years for privacy-seekers.
Rose bed focal point with vertical interest Used as a single climber at the back of a border, it lifts colour and scent above lower shrubs and perennials, drawing the eye upwards. Its strong classic rose character pairs well with traditional cottage plants for cottage-gardeners.
Small group planting along a long wall Planted at intervals, it can be trained along wires to form a continuous ribbon of colour and foliage. Consistent growth and RHS-recognised reliability keep the line even, suiting those planning long-term structure for planners.
Climbing rose for easy-care family spaces Moderate maintenance needs and good resistance to key fungal problems mean that, after basic training and deadheading, it stays presentable without complex regimes. Its own-root form supports long-term stability and recovery for beginners.
Cut flower source from the garden Large, fully double clusters and a strong rose fragrance make this climber a charming source of cut stems for the house. Grown against a fence or arch, it offers multiple cutting points through the season for flower-lovers.
Container-trained climber on a patio or balcony In a large container of at least 40–50 litres with good drainage, it can be trained up an obelisk or trellis to bring height, colour and scent to paved spaces, even in sites with coastal winds and humid air, making it appealing for urban-gardeners.

Styling ideas

  • Cottage-arch – Train Parade over a metal or wooden arch and underplant with lady’s mantle and hardy geraniums for a soft, tumbling cottage effect – ideal for front-garden romantics.
  • Brick-softener – Use it on a warm brick wall with white foxgloves and Lychnis viscaria ‘Alba’ at the base to break up hard lines – perfect for traditional terrace owners.
  • Pink-privacy – Space plants along a boundary fence and weave stems on horizontal wires, mixing in tall grasses for movement – suited to those seeking a gentle, floral screen.
  • Patio-pillar – In a 50-litre pot, train on a slim obelisk with low, scented herbs around the rim for a vertical accent – designed for compact patios and balconies.
  • Romantic-mix – Combine with Knautia macedonica ‘Red Knight’ and soft mauve perennials in a mixed border to echo and contrast the deep pink blooms – appealing to colour-conscious designers.

Technical cultivar profile
Property Data
Name and registration Large-flowered climbing rose; registered cultivar name Parade, also traded as Parade Climbing rose Parade, approved exhibition name Parade with no separate registered code.
Origin and breeding Bred by Eugene S. Boerner for Jackson & Perkins Co., United States, introduced 1953, from a ‘New Dawn’ seedling crossed with ‘World's Fair’, remaining an unregistered but established garden cultivar.
Awards and recognition Holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit for proven garden performance, and received first prize in the Climber category at the Kansas City Rose Society Show in 2001, confirming its ornamental quality.
Growth and structural characteristics Strong, climbing growth reaching about 300–450 cm in height and 200–310 cm spread, with dense, glossy mid-green foliage and moderate prickliness; requires support and training for best structural effect.
Flower morphology Large, fully double, cup-shaped blooms with 26–39 petals, produced mainly in clusters; remontant habit offers an abundant second flush after the main flowering, though spent blooms benefit from manual deadheading.
Colour data and phenology Deep, vivid pink flowers with subtle purplish-violet tones inside; buds open dark cyclamen-tinged pink, edges lighten before fading slightly in strong sun, with cooler weather helping retain a richer colour intensity.
Fragrance and aroma Displays a strong, clearly perceptible classic rose fragrance, noticeable both on the plant and when used as a cut flower, adding atmospheric scent to paths, seating areas and planted structures in the garden.
Hip characteristics Hip set is generally low due to the very double flowers; when present, small spherical hips around 10–15 mm develop, in an orange-red tone corresponding to RHS 43A, appearing only sporadically.
Resistance and winter hardiness Rated resistant to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, with good winter hardiness approximately to −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7), performing reliably in USDA zone 6b and similar temperate regions with regular watering in heat.
Horticultural recommendations Best in a sunny position on pergolas, fences, walls, trellises or arbours; allow 145–270 cm between plants depending on use, and provide support, light pruning and deadheading to maintain flowering and form.

Parade offers richly fragrant, deep-pink clusters, reliable repeat flowering and long-term, own-root durability for walls, arches or pergolas, making it a thoughtful choice if you wish to invest in a lasting climbing feature.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”; it illustrates the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root cultivation in a tangible way: how the plant is built up, what the root system is like and how the shoot system regenerates. The recordings were therefore made at different times and with plants at various stages of development, so mixed foliage levels and differing stages of growth may appear in the videos. They are not a ‘sample’ of the batch dispatched, but a visual explanation of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical for the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown in the upper part of the product page.
