Know before you buy
While many roses require full sun, New Dawn is remarkably versatile and will thrive with as little as 4 hours of direct light, making it an excellent choice for partial sun locations.
Yes, it is a repeat-bloomer. It begins its display in late spring and continues to produce sprays of pearl pink flowers consistently throughout the summer months.
Because it flowers on both old and new wood, you have more flexibility with pruning. It is best to perform your primary pruning in late fall or early spring to shape the vine and remove any dead or damaged canes.
This is an own-root plant. Own-root roses are generally more resilient and long-lived, as they will grow true to type even if the plant dies back to the ground during a harsh winter.
New Dawn is a vigorous climber that typically reaches a height of 10 to 20 feet. You will need to provide a sturdy trellis, fence, or arbor to support its growth.
New Dawn is highly regarded for its disease resistance. While no rose is completely immune, this variety is much more resilient than many other climbers, making it a lower-maintenance option for your garden.
