Overview
Dancing Queen is a pink climbing rose raised by Fryer and introduced in 2004, with hybrid tea parentage noted in its classification. Plants can reach around 2.5 m (8 ft) tall with a spread of about 2 m (6.5 ft), so give it a wall, fence or sturdy trellis and tie the stems in as they lengthen. Scent is only light. It received the RHS Award of Garden Merit in 2012 and was granted UK plant breeders' rights in 2007. A sensible choice for a gardener who wants pink colour on a vertical surface without needing a very large structure.
