🌹 Rose 'Crepuscule' – A Glowing Apricot-Climber for Queensland Gardens
Add timeless charm and gentle fragrance to your garden with Rose ‘Crepuscule’, an exquisite, heritage-style climbing rose cherished for its soft, sunset-hued blooms and generous flowering habit. Perfect for Toowoomba’s warm climate, this near-thornless rose is a standout for pergolas, fences, arbours, or rambling along verandahs.
classic from 1904, ‘Crepuscule’ (French for "twilight") features clusters of large, double, quartered blooms that open from rich apricot buds to golden buff or creamy amber petals that soften with age - particularly enchanting in morning or evening light. Its romantic, vintage appearance makes it a favourite for cottage-style and rambling gardens.
With a delightful, mild tea rose fragrance and a bushy, manageable growth habit, ‘Crepuscule’ is an ideal choice for home gardeners in the Toowoomba region looking for a forgiving and rewarding climber. It thrives in full sun, tolerates light shade, and flourishes in our well-drained Darling Downs soils.

🌱 Growing Tips for Toowoomba Gardeners:
Plant your ‘Crepuscule’ rose in a full sun position with good air circulation. Prepare your soil with compost or well-rotted manure to improve drainage and fertility. Regular deadheading and seasonal pruning will encourage repeat flowering throughout the warmer months. Though nearly thornless, support young canes early on to guide their climbing growth.
Water deeply during dry spells and apply mulch to help retain moisture and reduce weeds. Fertilise in early spring and again in late summer to maintain strong growth and flowering.
📏 Size & Spacing:
Height: 2.5m – 4m (depending on support and pruning)
Spread: 2m+
Spacing: Allow 2–3m between other climbers for best effect
