The Peggy Martin Rose is more than a beautiful climbing rose, it is a living story of resilience. Also known as the “Hurricane Katrina Rose,” this vigorous, nearly thornless climber became famous after surviving weeks under floodwater in Peggy Martin’s Louisiana garden following Hurricane Katrina. When so much of the garden was lost, this rose returned, blooming as a symbol of hope, strength, and the enduring spirit of gardeners.
In the landscape, Peggy Martin is a showstopper. It produces generous clusters of clear pink blooms against rich green foliage and can be trained along a fence, arbor, trellis, or garden wall. Once established, it is known for being tough, disease resistant, and easy to grow, making it a favorite for Southern gardens and anyone who loves a rose with both beauty and meaning.
Plant in full sun with room to climb, and enjoy a rose that brings romance, history, and heart to the garden.
