'Roseum' is a woody, deciduous, self-clinging climber with heart-shaped leaves and flattened clusters of creamy-white flowers, surrounded by ovate, white bracts that mature to rosy pink as the flowering season progresses. Perfect for training against a wall or fence, Hydrangea hydrangeoides are initially slow-growing, but quickly catch up once established.


To avoid dry conditions, and to ensure good soil contact around the rootball, we advise planting climbers at least 30cm (12in), and preferably 45-60cm (18-24in) away from the base of a wall or fence. An even larger distance should be maintained when planting climbers beside an existing tree or shrub.

Plant in moist, fertile soil and do not allow the soil to dry out while the plant is getting established. Young plants need tying in until they self-cling. This hydrangea flowers on the previous season’s wood, so if you need to prune in late autumn or early spring, but be warned that drastic pruning may restrict flowering the following year.
