Antike ’89 is a vigorous climber with large cream-pink flowers and a carmine edge. A neighbouring variety should either lighten the composition or add one cool contrast.
Handel repeats the cream-pink idea in a lighter bloom. If you choose this direction, each climber needs its own section of support.
Choose a pearl-pink tall backdrop or a lighter pink-white lower tier, depending on the space you have and the height you need.
One lavender-lilac bush at the base of the support separates the carmine edge and does not create a dark patch.
Companions are spaced by microzone: a sunny edge, a shaded edge and a separate patch by the support.
Do not overload one support with several vigorous climbers, and do not add a heavy dark maroon variety nearby: Antike ’89 needs space and a light setting.
Where to plant. Beside a sturdy arch, pergola, wall or trellis. The stiff, long canes should be gradually spread out and tied in. Conditions: a sunny or lightly shaded, airy spot; leave space around the wall for air to circulate. Winter in Ukraine: in the south and in sheltered spots, carefully earth up the base; in central, northern and eastern regions, additionally protect the long canes on the support. Do not try to force the stiff canes down to the ground.
