TANKLEWI® – pink climber (rambling rose) – Tantau
Bring a quietly romantic, storybook feel to your garden with TANKLEWI®, a tall pink climber that turns an ordinary fence or arch into a place for lazy afternoon tea. Its clusters of mid‑pink, cup‑shaped blooms open in generous flushes, then repeat reliably through summer, filling the air with a strong, fruity, sweet fragrance. The glossy dark foliage sets off the soft colour, while the plant’s steady growth makes it simple to train over a pergola or along wires without fussy pruning rules. As an own‑root rose, it builds strength from below, promising a long‑lived, regenerating structure that copes well with typical British rain and breeze in more exposed, open‑garden spots. Given basic watering in dry spells and light seasonal care, it rewards you with dependable repeat flowering and an increasingly full display year after year. Over time, its balanced habit and reliable hardiness turn a once‑bare boundary into a soft pink backdrop for family life, while its flexible training potential suits both beginners and more ambitious cottage‑style plans.

Usage options
Target area
Reasoning
Rose arch over a path or garden entrance
The robust climbing habit and generous height let this rose quickly cover an arch, while repeat flowering provides long, scented displays for everyday coming and going; own‑root vigour gives reliable long‑term structure with minimal intervention for busy homeowners
Pergola beside a seating or afternoon tea area
The strong, fruity fragrance and soft pink blooms are made for sitting beneath, creating a cosy, storybook atmosphere; good heat tolerance supports performance around sun‑warmed patios where regular watering is manageable for romantic cottage‑garden lovers
Clothed boundary fence in a family back garden
Dense, glossy foliage and moderate spread help soften bare fencing, while repeated clusters of pink flowers give a cheerful, tidy look; own‑root resilience supports long lifespan and recovery if stems are ever knocked or pruned hard by practical family gardeners
Feature climber on a house wall or garage
Medium maintenance needs and partial shade tolerance make it suitable for typical house aspects, including east or west walls; stable own‑root growth means fewer concerns about graft failure, ideal where you want one reliable focal point for low‑maintenance seekers
Romantic cottage‑style mixed border backdrop
The soft mid‑pink colour and classic, double, cup‑shaped blooms blend easily with perennials like bearded iris and scabious, forming a gentle, feminine cottage palette; remontant flowering adds layered interest behind lower planting for cottage‑style enthusiasts
Large container or half‑barrel near the house
In a 40–50 litre container with good drainage, its repeat bloom and manageable thorniness let you enjoy fragrance close to doorways or seating; own‑root stability suits long‑term pot culture where you may refresh the compost occasionally for small‑garden owners
Specimen climber in rural kitchen or utility garden
Combining cuttable stems, strong scent and reliable flowering, this rose doubles as both ornament and source of scented bunches; own‑root durability supports the classic year‑on‑year development from stronger roots to fuller shoots and finally a mature, abundant display for traditional‑garden keepers
Informal screen in breezier, more exposed spots
Its height and dense foliage help filter views and wind, while repeat flowers and medium disease resistance keep it attractive where gardens are open to the elements, coping well with typical British rain and breeze in more exposed, open‑garden spots for coastal‑area gardeners
Styling ideas
Archway Romance – Train TANKLEWI® over a metal or timber arch, underplant with creeping baby’s breath and low catmint to create a soft pink‑and‑white entrance – perfect for lovers of gentle, feminine cottage style
Pergola Retreat – Run canes or wires along a pergola and let the rose drape overhead, pairing with bearded iris and scented herbs for a relaxed tea‑corner – ideal for homeowners creating a cosy outdoor sitting room
Kitchen‑Garden Screen – Grow it along rustic posts and wires at the edge of a vegetable plot, mixing with pincushion flowers and tall cosmos for a productive yet pretty divide – suited to rural kitchen‑garden keepers
CourtYard Column – Spiral stems around a sturdy obelisk in a large 50‑litre container, accenting with soft ornamental grasses for movement and texture – appealing to small‑space urban gardeners
Storybook Fence – Loosely fan the canes along a wooden fence, interplanting with old‑fashioned perennials and spring bulbs to mimic an English cottage lane – made for families wanting a traditional, informal backdrop
Technical cultivar profile
Property
Data
Name and registration
Climbing rose group; registered as TANklewi, marketed as Tanklewi® climbing rose TANklewi, also exhibited under the American Rose Society name ‘Lawinia’ for show purposes.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Mathias Tantau Jr. at Rosen Tantau, Germany, with parentage unrecorded; selected and introduced in 1980 as a reliable, large‑flowered climbing rose for decorative garden and exhibition use.
Growth and structural characteristics
Strong climbing habit to about 2.5–4 m high and 1.5–2.6 m wide, with dense, glossy dark green foliage and moderate prickliness; forms a substantial framework suitable for arches, pergolas, walls and robust fences.
Flower morphology
Large, double, cup‑shaped blooms in clusters, with roughly 26–39 petals; remontant through the season, often giving a notably abundant second flush of flowers on mature, well‑sited plants.
Colour data and phenology
Mid‑deep pink with a subtle coral undertone; buds are richer pink, opening baby pink then softening to pastel tones; petal edges pale gently, giving an overall even, powdery pink effect as the bloom ages.
Fragrance and aroma
Pronounced, strong scent with fruity and sweet rose notes; ideal for seating areas, entrances and cut flowers where fragrance is a priority, retaining character well in typical summer garden conditions.
Hip characteristics
Occasional spherical hips, about 10–15 mm across, coloured orange‑red (RHS 42A); mainly ornamental and sparsely produced, so they do not significantly distract from the plant’s prolonged flowering display.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Rated to around −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7; USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3); good tolerance of summer heat with watering in prolonged drought; black spot resistant, with medium susceptibility to mildew and rust.
Horticultural recommendations
Best used on arches, pergolas, walls, fences or as a specimen; plant 1.9–3.2 m apart, about 0.3 plants/m² for massing; medium maintenance, responds well to occasional plant protection and regular dead‑heading.
TANKLEWI® offers fragrant repeat flowering, graceful height for arches and fences, and the quiet reliability of an own‑root climber, making it a thoughtful choice if you wish to build a long‑lived, romantic garden feature.
Pollinator Attraction:
Its double blooms are moderately attractive to pollinators, because fully double flower forms often reduce stamen accessibility compared with simple or semi-double types.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Double-flowered: because its blooms largely cover the stamens, its pollinator-friendliness is limited; primarily an ornamental variety.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”; it illustrates the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root cultivation in a tangible way: how the plant is built up, what the root system is like and how the shoot system regenerates. The recordings were therefore made at different times and with plants at various stages of development, so mixed foliage levels and differing stages of growth may appear in the videos. They are not a ‘sample’ of the batch dispatched, but a visual explanation of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical for the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown in the upper part of the product page.
