Rambler

/ˈræmblər/ noun

Definition

Someone who takes long walks for pleasure; or a plant that grows and spreads in many directions.

Etymology

From 'ramble' (walk aimlessly), possibly from Middle Dutch 'rammelen' meaning 'to wander.' A rambler is someone who does this regularly, or a plant that 'rambles' across space.

Kelly Says

Rose ramblers were incredibly popular in Victorian gardens because they climb tall and create stunning displays—they're actually quite different from hybrid tea roses because they bloom once gloriously rather than all season.
