Overview

Fruity Petals is a climbing rose from William J. Radler, patented in 2017 as PP28657 under the name 'Radpetals'. It comes from a cross of 'Radbig' and 'Radfourth'. The flowers are coral and yellow with about 18 petals, small at roughly 0.6 in (1.5 cm) in the patent, and only faintly scented. Canes reach about 6 ft (1.8 m) with a spread near 3 ft (90 cm), so a fence, post or small trellis gives enough support. The patent notes observations on black spot, powdery mildew, downy mildew and rust.
