rambling rose

Sprawling garden flower

A rambling rose is a climbing rose variety that produces long, flexible canes and clusters of small flowers, typically blooming once per season.

Ramblers grow vigorously and somewhat wildly, sprawling over walls, fences, and trellises: The rambling rose had overtaken the garden shed.

The phrase evokes cottage gardens and nostalgic romanticism.
