Description of Noteworthy Features:

The New Dawn Rose is a classic and popular climbing rose, known for its large, soft pink, cupped blooms that have a slight fragrance. The flowers are semi-double to double in form and bloom in clusters, creating a spectacular display. Its vigorous climbing habit makes it ideal for fences, trellises, arbors, or walls, where it can grow up to 15 feet tall. The shrub has glossy, dark green foliage that provides a beautiful contrast to the delicate pink flowers. New Dawn is not only admired for its beauty but also for its disease resistance, particularly against black spot and mildew. It’s a low-maintenance, hardy choice for gardeners seeking a reliable and stunning rose.
