About New Dawn Potted Climbing Rose

Rosa 'New Dawn'

A timeless classic introduced in 1930, New Dawn is widely considered one of the most romantic and reliable climbing roses. Its soft shell-pink blooms appear in elegant, medium-sized clusters with a delicate, fresh apple fragrance. One of the first repeat-blooming climbers, it quickly covers arbors, fences, and walls with graceful canes and glossy green foliage. Vigorous, cold-hardy, and shade-tolerant, it remains a favorite for both cottage gardens and formal designs.

Interesting Note - New Dawn is the first plant ever patented in the United States.
