Rosa 'Paragon'® - Biologische klimroos

‘Paragon’ – A fragrant white climbing rose

The ‘Paragon’ rose is a beautiful and vigorous climbing rose with masses of pure white flowers and a striking golden-yellow centre. Its fresh appearance, strong fragrance and long flowering period make this white climbing rose a wonderful addition to gardens of all sizes.

Also known as ‘Groei & Bloei’, Paragon is a repeat-flowering rose bred by Dutch rose breeder Marco Braun. Unlike many rambling roses, it continues to produce flowers throughout the season, making it an excellent choice for pergolas, rose arches, trellises and fences.

A white rose with a fresh character

The lightly to semi-double flowers of Paragon appear in generous clusters and have a beautiful pure white colour with prominent golden-yellow stamens in the centre. The open flower form gives the rose a natural and lively appearance while also making the blooms attractive to bees and other pollinating insects.

One of the most remarkable characteristics of this rose is its strong, fresh fragrance with distinctive lemon-like notes. When planted near a patio, entrance, pergola or seating area, the scent can add an extra sensory dimension to the garden.

Where can you plant Paragon?

With its vigorous, upright climbing growth, Paragon is particularly well suited to structures where a flowering climber can create height and atmosphere:

• 🌹 On a rose arch or pergola

• 🌿 Against a trellis, wall or fence

• 🏡 Around a patio, terrace or entrance

• 🌸 As a flowering screen or vertical accent

• 🌱 Combined with perennials, clematis and other climbing roses

• 🐝 In a bee-friendly garden

Paragon can reach a height of approximately 2 to 3 metres, making it ideal for covering vertical structures and creating a beautiful flowering display. Its strong growth allows it to quickly become an attractive feature in the garden.

Long and abundant flowering

One of the greatest advantages of Paragon is its repeat-flowering character. The rose produces abundant clusters of white flowers from summer onwards and continues flowering for a long period, well into autumn.

The open flowers expose the golden stamens, making them particularly attractive to bees and other pollinating insects. After flowering, the rose can also develop decorative orange-red hips, adding additional seasonal interest to the plant.

Caring for the Paragon rose

Plant Paragon preferably in a sunny position in fertile, well-drained soil. A location with plenty of sunlight encourages vigorous growth and abundant flowering, although the rose can also tolerate some light shade.

During dry periods, provide sufficient water, especially during the first year after planting. Annual fertilisation with rose fertiliser supports healthy growth and ensures that the plant has enough nutrients for its long flowering period.

As a climbing rose, Paragon benefits from support such as a trellis, pergola, rose arch or climbing frame. Tie the young shoots to the support as they grow and guide them into a natural, spreading shape.

Prune preferably in spring. Remove dead, damaged and weak branches and thin out older wood where necessary. Long flowering shoots can be shortened to maintain a balanced plant and encourage new growth.

Strong, fragrant and bee-friendly

Paragon combines several qualities that make it particularly valuable in the garden: vigorous growth, repeat flowering, strong fragrance and open flowers that are attractive to pollinators.

The pure white flowers provide a fresh and elegant appearance and combine beautifully with other roses and flowering plants. The strong lemon-like fragrance makes this climbing rose especially attractive when planted close to areas where you spend time in the garden.

Why choose Paragon?

Its pure white blooms with golden-yellow stamens create a fresh and natural appearance, while its vigorous growth makes it perfect for pergolas, rose arches, fences and trellises.
