Aloha® Klettermaxe® – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own-root climber propagation material
Climber based on Kordes breeding, Aloha® Klettermaxe® offers dense dark-green foliage, large very-double rosette flowers and a medium, sweet-fruity fragrance, positioned as an exclusive, space-defining vertical feature for walls, pergolas and trellises. Delivered as pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own-root, tray-rooted young cuttings for professional production, it supports trained-climber finished routes in 5–7 L pots, feeding retail and reseller channels and enabling consistent, premium-silver quality across nursery networks. Its hardiness to around -26 °C and suitability for cooler UK regions provide reliable performance where winter and wind exposure are typical, fitting long-term project and collection gardens. Own-root architecture underpins renewable growth, homogeneous stands and predictable capacity for vertical ranges over time, with Year 1 rooting, Year 2 structural shoots and Year 3 delivering full ornamental impact.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Climbing rose cultivar Aloha® Klettermaxe®, registered as KORwesrug, exhibition climber category with ARS exhibition name Aloha; part of the Klettermaxe® collection for vertical ornamental use. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by W. Kordes’ Söhne in Germany from ‘Westerland’ × ‘Rugelda®’, registered and introduced in 2003 in Germany and later in Canada, reflecting modern climbing rose breeding for ornamental performance. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright small grimpant climber, around 2.0–3.2 m high with 0.8–1.5 m spread, dense dark-green slightly glossy foliage and strongly thorned canes; benefits from trained support and structured pruning. |
| Flower morphology |
Large-flowered, very-double rosette-type blooms with 40+ petals, borne in clusters; remontant flowering habit with a strong first flush and a lighter second flush, responsive to deadheading for continuity. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Warm peach-orange base with subtle pink sheen; buds deep reddish-orange, opening to vivid peach-orange, then fading through creamy peach-pink to pearly pink, with moderate colour retention across the bloom life. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Medium-strength, noticeable sweet-fruity fragrance, contributing to sensory impact in trained vertical features; primarily ornamental rather than pollinator-focused due to the very double flower structure. |
| Hip characteristics |
Occasional small, spherical orange-red hips, around 12–16 mm in diameter, forming sporadically and adding minor seasonal interest without being a primary production objective. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Fully hardy in colder regions with RHS H7, Swedish Zone 4 and USDA 5b ratings; however very susceptible to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, requiring regular plant-protection programs under production. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Suitable for walls, pergolas, trellises, beds, containers and some cutting; best as trained climber finished products in 5–7 L, with high maintenance and systematic disease management clearly planned. |
Aloha® Klettermaxe® as pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own-root material combines distinctive colour-fragrance impact, manageable upright climbing habit and hardy, regenerative stands, making it a sound candidate to schedule into exclusive vertical climber programs; we invite you to discuss timing and volumes.
