Introduced in 1930 and Still the Favorite!

Blooms continuously from early summer till frost!
This outstanding classic (introduced 1930) is the standard by which all repeat-flowering climbers are judged! If you have strong vertical or horizontal support for this magnificent rose, add it to your garden at once!

New Dawn is a free-flowering, easy-to-grow standout rose. Its blooms are fragrant, its dark green foliage lush and surprisingly disease-resistant, and its season of bloom very long. Each fully double bloom measures 3 to 4 inches wide, sporting tones of pearlescent blush. The scent is powerfully sweet, making New Dawn a great choice for the vase as well as the garden. And the blooms arise in big clusters, so a single snip makes a bouquet.

Climbing 10 to 12 feet high (much less than its parent, the famous rambler 'Dr. W. Van Fleet') and 7 to 10 feet wide, New Dawn flowers reliably all summer long and into autumn in many climates. A classic for more than 75 years, it is a superb choice for a wide variety of areas. Zones 5-9.

A Tried and True Beauty!!

Love this rose! It has a large flush and then trickles from then on. It is a prolific grower so needs a nice big trellis or arbor. Not much problems with disease in my yard either. Soft pastel pink that hold up well. Dislike: this rose has thorns that are very sharp but well worth the caution when working with it.
Additional pruning tips for healthy, beautiful, productive roses:
  • Whether you’re deadheading, removing dead wood, or performing an annual pruning, make sure your cuts are no more than ¼ inch (5 mm) above a bud, and slope the cut away from the bud, to prevent water from collecting on it.

  • Your cuts should always be clean, so keep your pruning shears sharp, and use pruning tools that are appropriately sized to whatever size stems you are cutting.

  • To encourage an open-centered form, cut to an outward-facing bud. To encourage upright growth on roses with a spreading habit, prune a few of the stems to inward-facing buds.

  • Prune any dieback to the healthy, white pith.

  • Remove dead or diseased stems, as well as any that cross or are spindly.

  • Your goal should be to have well-spaced stems that allow for a free flow of air.

  • If pruning an established plant, remove any old wood that is flowering poorly, and use a saw to get rid of old stubs that are no longer producing new shoots.

  • Other than climbing roses, you should prune newly planted roses hard, which encourages vigorous shoot production.

  • When removing suckers, trace them back to the roots from which they are growing, and simply take them off.
