Introduced in 1930 and Still a Favorite

New Dawn Climbing Rose is a classic favorite that bloomed onto the scene in 1930.

New Dawn Climbing Rose has earned its place as one of the most beloved and enduring climbing roses of all time. A true classic, this vigorous, free-flowering climber is renowned for its soft pink, beautifully ruffled blooms, continuous flowering habit, and exceptional garden performance. It remains a favorite among rose enthusiasts for its timeless beauty, adaptability, and effortless charm, making it a must-have for any landscape.

New Dawn is a true garden powerhouse, reaching an impressive height of 18 to 20 feet with a mature spread of 7 to 10 feet. This floriferous climber puts on a spectacular display from late spring through late fall, with waves of romantic, fully double blooms appearing in abundant clusters. The flowers measure 3 to 4 inches across and open to reveal a pearlescent blush, creating an elegant, luminous effect in the garden. Lightly scented with a sweet, delicate fragrance, they make exceptional cut flowers, perfect for filling a vase with their graceful, airy charm. A single stem can yield a full bouquet, bringing the beauty of this climbing rose indoors.

Beyond its eye-catching display, New Dawn is one of the most reliable and easy-to-grow climbing roses available. Highly disease resistant and tolerant of a variety of growing conditions, it flourishes in full sun but can also handle a touch of shade better than many other climbing varieties. Its robust growth and repeat-blooming nature make it a stunning addition to the garden, rewarding growers with season-long color and a naturally graceful form.

New Dawn is also incredibly versatile in the landscape. Whether trained over trellises, draped along fences, climbing up pergolas, or left to cascade in a free-flowing fountain of blooms, this rose creates a spectacular display. Its vigorous, self-sufficient growth habit allows it to thrive in a variety of settings, making it the perfect choice for transforming your garden into a romantic, flower-filled retreat.

New Dawn
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I’ve been growing roses for 35 years and the New Dawn Rose is by far the most disease resistant and reliable roses I’ve ever grown.

Exceptional climber
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

We have had this rose for 5 years now in a NW exposure in partial shade in New Rochelle, NY. While I suspect that with more sun it would do even better, it has nevertheless bloomed very well reliably producing a large number of flowers in June and then more sporadically throughout the reminder of the warm season. We have a few other climbers near it, they do bloom but nowhere near as well as New Dawn.

Lost my beautiful climber to Rose Rosette disease
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This is nothing against the company or the new dawn rose itself (which produces a beautiful array of small flowers throughout spring into early fall), but more of a warning for a rose disease that I never new existed called Rose Rosette disease. Apparently this disease is prevalent in the Eastern/Northeastern US, and once the rose is infected, it must unfortunately be cut down and rooted out (it seems in my research that New Dawn is susceptible to this disease, though I have only read one other post mentioning New Dawn dying this way). The virus is transferred by a type of mite (eriophyid mite) and causes the whole climber's development to become deformed/mangled until it dies (it can also be researched under the name witches' broom). It may be due to my own negligence that the mites infected the climber [I did not know they carried these types of diseases], although I am reading that they cannot be rid of like regular spider mites; not much is known about the disease or this type of mite eradication except with a dormant oil to kill them as they hide for winter (I was surprised to find groups of mites attached to the ends of the rose's roots system in deep soil, I found an ant among them at this depth and suspect the mites symbiotically use the ant tunnels to reach these areas). Well I have rambled too much and I guess the point has been made. I had the heartbreaking task of removing my rose today and had to pause a bit in remorse having worked and waited 2 years to see its beautiful blooms (gone in a single season). I am waiting now to see that the disease doesn't spread to my other climbers...I don't know if I will plant this or climbers again, but for those who see it living for generations...consider yourselves blessed. The best to everyone.

Choosing Your Roses

Bare root roses are the most common form of roses for spring and early season planting, and come in two types: grafted and own root.

Grafted Bare root Roses
Own root Bare root Roses

Grafted roses, sometimes referred to as budded bare root roses, have roots that belong to a different variety of rose than the shoots. While the shoots will grow into the variety of rose you've selected, the root variety has been specially grown and developed for hardiness, improved resistance to common diseases, and improved resistance to certain weather conditions. The roots on any grafted rose you receive are usually already two years old, so they'll establish in your garden more quickly when planted.

Own root roses are grown from rose shoot cuttings and develop their own root system. Unlike grafted roses, both their roots and shoots come from the same variety of plant.


All Jackson & Perkins bare root roses are maintained in a suspended state of growth in our state-of-the-art wet cooler, so they'll be delivered to you with no foliage or blooms. The wet cooler has a uniform storage temperature set just above freezing and uses a fog system to provide consistent humidity of 100%, ensuring the roses remain fully hydrated and don't exit dormancy before leaving our facility. While you might see some variance in size, even within the same variety of bare root rose, all our roses meet the same rigorous standards of quality.

So, not sure which type of bare root rose you should choose? Don't worry, we've got that covered. We've researched which varieties of bare root roses grow better as grafted or own root, and both types can be planted in the early spring months, so just choose the variety of rose you're most interested in and get planting.

Though you might be surprised or intimidated when you receive a box of bare root roses filled with roots and shoots, rest assured, with the proper care, these little bundles will grow into stunning roses.


Container Roses

Container Roses

container roses are typically available in 2-quart sizes or larger and come with established foliage that may or may not have blooms. While bare root roses should generally be planted in early spring, container roses allow you quite a bit more flexibility in planting time, from spring all the way through fall in many zones. Fall can be a good season to plant container roses because it allows them enough time to establish themselves before cold or freezing temperatures arrive.
