Minnehaha is a rambling rose bred in the United States around 1904–1905 by Michael Walsh, one of the great early breeders of ramblers. It's a very vigorous climber, reaching 4.5–6 m, and it's at its best covering a pergola, a long fence, a wall or climbing into an old tree. Once a year, later than most ramblers, it covers itself in large clusters of small, very double, pompon-like flowers that open satiny pink and fade almost to white, so the plant shows a range of pinks at once. Each bloom is about 4 cm across, with a light musk scent. The foliage is small, glossy and plentiful. As with most ramblers, prune right after it finishes flowering, since next year's blooms form on this year's growth. It passed Longwood Gardens' ten-year rose trials.

A vigorous historic rambler that flowers once a year in a mass of pink pompons.
