Rise Up Lilac Days® Rose

2026 Rose of the Year!

Rise Up Lilac Days® rose is a beautiful mini-climber with unique, lilac-blue flowers and a powerful, heady fragrance. Its versatile growth allows it to be both a climber and a shrub depending on how the gardener prunes or trains them, with a neat, dense-growing habit of vigorous and healthy reblooming roses. The Rise Up® series of roses is the first-ever climbing roses from Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Shrubs and are a perfect addition to your vertical garden, adding depth, dimension and overall beauty.

• 5-8 feet tall and 2-4 feet wide at maturity
• Hardy in zones 4-9, be sure to check your USDA zone to ensure success
• Plant in full sun (6+ hours daily)
• Space plants 2-4 feet apart for best results
• Maintains dark green foliage from spring through frost
• Produces light purple flowers, reblooming throughout summer
• Blooms on new wood
• Great for container, cut flower, specimen or focal point
• Disease resistant, long blooming

Care: Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid summer.  Prune back by a third of the height early in the spring to maintain shape and promote blooming, making cuts just above a healthy bud as this will produce the most vigorous growth. May be deadheaded, but is not required for continuous blooming.
