DALIAMY – pink climbing rose – Dalla Libera
Created for breezy coastal afternoons, DALIAMY offers a refreshing sense of seaside escape with rich mid-pink, very full blooms and a fruity scent that carries on the air. Trained against a wall, pergola or veranda screen, it forms a dense curtain of foliage and flowers that feels at home where salt-laden winds meet sheltered sitting areas, giving reliable structure even where you must manage challenging, moisture-holding soils and careful drainage. This own-root climber settles in steadily, rewarding a patient approach: roots in the first year, confident shoots in the second, and full ornamental value by the third, supporting a long-lived garden backdrop that you can shape over time. Plan for a generous container of at least 40–50 litres or an open soil position with sturdy supports, and DALIAMY will become a resilient vertical feature for relaxed family gardens. With its premium silver rating and trusted provenance, it suits gardeners who value romantic colour, structure and fragrance, and are happy to give attentive plant care.
Usage options
| Target area |
Reasoning |
| Sunny veranda or balcony in a large container |
DALIAMY performs well in a bright, sheltered spot, and its medium drought tolerance lets it cope if you occasionally miss a watering, as long as you use a 40–50 litre container with good drainage and regular feeding, suiting aspiring coastal-style beginners. |
| Pergola or arbour seating area |
The creeping growth habit and dense foliage can be trained up and over a pergola or arbour, clothing the structure in layers of medium-pink, very full flowers with a strong fruity fragrance drifting around a seating area, ideal for relaxed garden homeowners. |
| South- or west-facing house wall |
On warm walls in Devon or Cornwall, this climber makes an effective vertical accent, its 190–310 cm height covering bare brick while coping with breezy, rain-laden weather typical of coastal districts, well suited to weather-aware garden planners. |
| Family garden fence or boundary |
DALIAMY’s moderate prickliness and dense, glossy foliage help define boundaries, while repeat flowering provides colour through the season; own-root resilience supports long-term structure where you want a soft but effective screen, useful for practical-minded families. |
| Romantic focal point with companion climbers |
The uniform mid-pink blooms combine gracefully with complementary climbers such as clematis, allowing you to create layered, cottage-style planting that looks considered rather than fussy, appealing to design-conscious garden enthusiasts. |
| Sheltered coastal garden corner |
Placed where buildings or hedges break the worst gusts, DALIAMY can enjoy the milder coastal climate while you focus on managing heavier soils and water flow so that roots are well anchored and never waterlogged, rewarding patient coastal garden owners. |
| Scented evening seating nook |
The very strong, far-scented fruity fragrance is most enjoyable near a bench or terrace where still evening air allows the aroma to collect, so positioning it close to paths and doors best serves fragrance-loving garden users. |
| Collector’s or connoisseur’s rose display |
With Italian breeding, a 2015 Rome fragrance award and own-root longevity, DALIAMY makes a satisfying addition for those who appreciate named cultivars that repay attentive feeding, pruning and plant protection, particularly dedicated rose collectors. |
Styling ideas
- Seaside-porch screen – Train DALIAMY along a veranda rail to filter onshore breezes, underplanting with silvered Festuca and sea kale for a shingle-beach feel – for relaxed coastal-style families.
- Romantic arbour walk – Let its mid-pink clusters arch over an arbour, weaving in a dark-flowered clematis for contrast and extended interest – for homeowners who enjoy evening garden strolls.
- Warm-wall gallery – Space plants generously along a sunny wall so each can fan out, combining them with pot-grown lavender at the base – for those wanting vertical colour without crowding small beds.
- Scented tea corner – Position near a seating nook where the strong fruity fragrance can pool around a bistro table – for anyone who values leisurely, aromatic tea breaks outdoors.
- Collector’s showcase – Give DALIAMY a dedicated obelisk or fence bay, allowing its award-winning fragrance and rich pink blooms to stand out – for keen rose aficionados building a curated collection.

Bred by Davide Dalla Libera at Novaspina, Italy, around 2015 and introduced in 2016, with commercial distribution handled by Novaspina for European garden and landscape use. |
| Awards and recognition |
Recipient of the Fragrance Award at the 2015 Rome International Rose Competition, reflecting its notably intense, far-reaching scent valued by rose judges and enthusiasts. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Creeping climber reaching about 190–310 cm high and 150–250 cm spread, with dense, mid-green slightly glossy foliage and moderate prickles; best grown on sturdy supports or trained structures. |
| Flower morphology |
Very full, ball-shaped pompon blooms with more than 40 petals, medium-sized clusters on the stems and a repeat-flowering habit that gives particularly abundant second flushes in suitable conditions. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Rich mid-pink flowers that open from raspberry-pink buds, then lighten to pastel shades with paler, slightly lilac outer margins, showing medium colour retention and a soft, romantic appearance as they age. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Very strong, far-scented fragrance with a rich fruity character, most noticeable in still, warm air; primarily ornamental, as the tightly double blooms limit access for pollinating insects. |
| Hip characteristics |
Occasional spherical orange-red hips, roughly 9–15 mm across, adding discrete seasonal interest but not produced in heavy quantities, so the visual emphasis remains on repeat floral displays. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, USDA 6b, Swedish Zone 3) but sensitive to powdery mildew and black spot, so regular monitoring and timely plant protection are recommended. |
