About
Rosa Cherry Frost ('Overedclimb'PBR) is a named garden rose in the genus Rosa, family Rosaceae, notable for its extended flowering season. It produces repeat blooms through the summer and into early autumn, flowering from June to September. The cultivar carries a plant-breeders' designation and is intended for ornamental garden use. Expect the primary interest to be its seasonal floral display rather than foliage or fruit.
About the genus

In the garden
Rosa Cherry Frost ('Overedclimb'PBR) is a cultivated rose within Rosaceae and the genus Rosa, offered as a named cultivar with plant-breeders' rights. It has been selected for garden performance, and its principal feature is a prolonged bloom period, flowering from June to September. Specific origin, height and flower colour are tied to its cultivar identity rather than species-level traits. Give it a sunny, well-ventilated spot in reasonably fertile, free-draining soil and allow space for air to move around the canes to reduce disease pressure. Feed with a balanced rose fertiliser in spring and after the first flush to support repeat flowering; remove dead or crossing wood in late winter or early spring to maintain structure and to encourage healthy new shoots. Use this rose where a strong summer-to-early-autumn floral display is needed: trained against a support, incorporated into mixed rose borders or placed where repeated blooms can be appreciated. Monitor for common rose pests and diseases and prune to suit its growth habit so that flowering can be sustained through the June–September season.
