New Dawn

Rosa 'New Dawn'

Often called the world's most popular climbing rose, this vigorous climber produces soft pink blooms continuously from spring until frost with remarkable reliability. The first plant ever to receive a patent in the United States, it combines old-fashioned charm with modern repeat-blooming performance. Its disease resistance and cold hardiness make it perfect for covering arbors, fences, and walls in almost any climate.
