Bathsheba Rose is a compact climbing deciduous shrub with glossy dark green foliage and flowers with a wonderful myrrh and honey scent. These large cupped double flowers are a mix of creamy apricot and yellow and bloom in flushes from late spring until frost. Best grown in full sun and rich, moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils. Bathsheba has excellent disease resistance.
