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.

Rise Up Lilac Days® Rose

This is the best fragrant rose in my garden. With lots of blooms.

Wow!! Stunning!😍

Rise Up Lilac Days® Rose

This is my new favorite rose. I planted it last summer and this year it was the first to bloom despite the cold rainy spring. It was smothered in the prettiest dainty, perfect lilac roses. It is planted right next to my porch and the fragrance was heavenly. It has also proven to be the most disease and pest resistant of all my many roses. My Above and Beyond Rose was heavily fed on and this beauty remained untouched and pristine.

Wow! Stunning!! 😍

Rise Up Lilac Days® Rose

I planted the quart size in the fall, and I'm seeing beautiful growth and blooms in April.

Absolutely beautiful! 😍

Pretty but NOT “Lilac”

these are nice pink climbing roses but they are not remotely lilac-colored, not a hint of blue. Name and some photos is misleading.

Hard start but good recovery expected

This plant had a rough shipping experience. THe box was a bit banged up and the plant was sideways when I opened it up with about half the soil dumped out. I planted it as soon as I could and it seems to be rooting in and looking better. Obviously the plant is a quality plant or it probably would not have faired well. THe customer service on this was first class!

I have had several rose bushes from Proven Winners and other companiesThis one came on time and in great shapeAll my other rosebushes have died shortly after planting themI finally figured out there is something eating my rose bushes so I put a fence around this one and it seems to have stopped the critters. Can you give me any advice on how to keep them away besides a fence

Thank you for your review of our Rise Up Lilac Days® Rose. We are so glad to hear that it arrived on time and in great shape. We're sorry to hear about your other rose bushes dying, but it's great that you figured out the issue and were able to protect this one with a fence. In addition to a fence, you could try using natural repellents or planting certain herbs and flowers that deter critters. Feel free to reach out to our customer service team for more personalized advice.

My rise up rose arrived in perfect condition! I believe it was shipped out on a Wednesday and I received it the following Monday. I’m guessing the sleeve it was in being breathable was big part of keeping it in great shape.

Ordered two…both died

i’m so sad I ordered two rice of Lilac roses. I live in Northern California where the weather smiled. I planted them out and the next day they were black no green no sprouts ….for over $50. I wrote, but no one answered me. I’m really sad because I loved proven winners, but this has been very disappointing. I am a certified master gardener and have grown many many roses. This is just never happened before.

Hi Garden Friend, were sorry to hear this!! I see we responded to your email March 12th. I have resent it today 3/25.

Rise Up Lilac Days® Rose

The plants arrived in great condition.

Rise Up Lilac Days® Rose

Yes I received roses in good conditions and I so excited to plant the roses in my garden.

Thank you for your review! 😊

Rise Up Lilac Days® Rose

This is a beautiful and vigorous climbing rose. I bought a gallon and planted it in spring and it's put out a ton of lilac blooms already. The blooms seem to open and die off fairly quickly, but more blooms are frequently on the way. I'm very impressed with its growth and blooming in its first season. This rose has very few thorns as well which is nice for a climber.

We're so happy to hear that you are enjoying your rose! Be sure to share photos later in the season. 😊

Rise Up Lilac Days® Rose

Arrived promptly, well packed, good condition, in full leaf.

We are so happy to hear that your plant order has arrived!! Be sure to share photos later in the season.

Rise Up Lilac Days® Rose

I received a very full quart size plant that was already beginning to branch. I put it in the ground after acclimating it. So far it is doing well.

We're so happy to hear that you are enjoying your roses!

Healthy roses were delivered right to my doorstep. I’ve had these planted for 3 weeks now and I have my first blooms on both of them! Pretty, pretty color! I have them in pots on each side of a trellis. It’s going to be a beautiful season here in my garden.

Wendi,
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!! Enjoy :)

Rise Up Lilac Days® Rose

I was so excited to see that you had added this smaller sized, climbing rose to your offerings. The fact that it is lilac made it an easy choice. The packaging, as usual, is perfection. I have high hopes that this will be my favorite rose yet.
