filament pink. Seed: vessel size medium, Hip: shape of
longitudinal section pitcher shape. Flowering habit: almost
continuous flowering. (Note: all RHS colour chart numbers

Origin and Breeding Spontaneous mutation: ‘Climbing
Kardinal’ arose as a natural mutation from ‘Kardinal’. The
parental variety is a bush rose and a climbing shoot was
observed in one of the bushes of ‘Kardinal’ in breeder’s
nursery during 1995. Ten buds were isolated from the sport
and grafted onto non-virus indexed Dr. Huey rootstock. All
resultant plants exhibited climbing growth habit. In the
following year, 100 more grafts were made and all plants
were found to be uniform and stable for the climbing
characteristic. Selection criteria: climbing growth habit.
Propagation: ‘Climbing Kardinal’ will be commercially
propagated by budding method. Breeder: Daniel Knight,
Knights Roses, Gawler, SA.
Choice of Comparators ‘Kardinal’ and ‘Symphony’ were
considered for the comparative trial. ‘Kardinal’ was chosen
because it is the parental variety of the candidate.
‘Symphony’ was chosen for its similar coloured flowers and
climbing growth habit. ‘Climbing Crimson Glory’ was
initially considered for the trial but later excluded because
of its different red flower colour (RHS 61B – 60C, 1986).
Another variety named ‘Cassandre’ was also excluded due
to differences in flower colour (RHS 57A-57C, 1986).
Comparative Trial Location: Knights Roses, Gawler, SA.
Trial was planted in Jul 1998. DUS data was recorded in
Mar 2000. Conditions: trial conducted in open field, plants
grafted on Dr. Huey rootstock. Trial design: 20 plants of
each variety grown at random. Measurements: 20 plants at
random. One sample per plant.
