If you’ve ever dreamed of a lavender rose climbing through your garden, Quicksilver makes that dream unmistakably real.

Bred by Tim Hermann Kordes, this Large-Flowered Climber from the Arborose® Collection produces waves of very full, romantic blooms in luminous lavender- a color that feels both rare and refined. Each flower opens from pointed, ovoid buds into softly cupped blossoms with up to 50 petals, creating a plush, old-world texture against deep green foliage.

Clusters of 3¼" blooms appear in flushes throughout the season, covering the canes in cool-toned elegance. The fragrance is mild but pleasantly sweet, adding a gentle perfume to nearby seating areas, arbors, and walkways.

Reaching approximately 7' tall and 4' wide at maturity, Quicksilver is perfectly sized for smaller arbors, pillars, trellises, and fences. She climbs with enthusiasm yet remains manageable, making her an excellent choice for gardeners who want vertical impact without overwhelming growth.

Semi-glossy, dark green foliage provides strong disease resistance and a dramatic backdrop that makes the lavender blooms glow even more vividly. Elegant, repeat-blooming, and undeniably eye-catching, Quicksilver is a must-have for gardeners seeking something just a little unexpected!
