Overview
Love Knot is a miniature climbing rose bred by Warner and introduced in 1999. It carries red flowers with only a light scent and reaches up to about 1.8 m (6 ft), a modest height that suits a short pillar, obelisk or low fence rather than a large wall. It received the RHS Award of Garden Merit in 2012 and was granted UK plant breeders' rights in 2002. A good pick for small gardens where a full-size climber would be too vigorous.
