Reach for the Skies

Reach for the Skies is a stunning climber hybridized by John Jelinek, a friend of Heirloom Roses. This Climber has fully double blooms with nearly coral pink-orange petals with a yellow center fading to a gentle pink as she ages. She features long stems with small clusters of blooms of 45-60 petals each. Reach for the Skies lives up to her name as she stretches for the sun and reaches between 8-10′ tall. A beautiful cross between Lilian Austin x Summer Wine, Reach for the Skies is a must-have for your new trellis, pillar, or arbor. We are extremely grateful to Nancy Jelinek for allowing us to photograph John’s original rose in their own home garden right here in Oregon.
