Rosa (Climbing Roses)

Climbing roses are cultivated shrubs in the genus Rosa with long canes that can be trained over supports. Many are climbing forms of bush roses. Their stems are usually prickly and bear compound leaves with toothed leaflets. Flowers are borne singly or in clusters, and many varieties flower repeatedly. The group includes cultivars with single, semi-double and double flowers. Photographed in Bogotá, Colombia.
