Vining plants grow upward by climbing walls, and wherever they climb, flowers bloom. They need a relatively large growing space, so gardeners with limited space can only admire them from afar, while those with courtyards love to pursue vining flowers, because when they bloom, they give you a sea of flowers. The flower introduced today is called Honey Caramel, which can be grown either as a shrub or as a vine, satisfying all kinds of needs.

Honey Caramel

Honey Caramel is a garden rose variety of the Rosaceae family, born in France in 2006. It is an outstanding variety: the flowers are not large, only 5-6 cm, but the petal count can reach 80, and they are packed very tightly. The color is a mouth-watering caramel yellow, with a faint honey-like fragrance. It has high ornamental value and is praised as a masterpiece among French roses, and is one of the most widely cultivated varieties.

Long blooming period, abundant flowers

Honey Caramel has a very long blooming period, with flowers in almost every season of the year, and the flower quantity is enormous: wherever there is a branch, there is a flower, and a tree full of yellow flowers is extremely spectacular. A single flower can stay on the plant for about 10 days without fading, far surpassing varieties that scatter in a single day. It is very sun-tolerant; even in the hot summer, the flower shape does not change, making it very popular among gardeners in the south, especially in Guangxi and Guangdong, because other varieties perform extremely poorly in summer in South China.
