Pioneer Spirit is a “mannerly” climber

The smaller growth habit allows for its use where other Rugosas may be overpowering

The compact bush has very healthy foliage and we know of no disease problem

McClinton Tea mannerly climber bright pinkUnknown 5 to 8 feet The original plant of "McClinton Tea" from historic Natchitoches, Louisiana, perfumed the entire front of a small cottage garden. The robust, 7 foot tall plant had at least a dozen semi double, bright pink, heavily Tea scented flowers when we collected cuttings in mid December. The reverse of the petals has a darker pink shading that adds a subtle depth to the large flower.
