New Dawn Climbing Rose

Description

Introduced in 1930 and Still a Favorite

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

A free-flowering climbing rose, New Dawn reaches a height of 18 to 20 feet, with a width of 7 to 10 feet at maturity. The blooms repeat throughout the season, from late spring to late fall. Borne in abundant clusters, the pretty pink, fully double blooms are ruffled and softly scented with a light, sweet fragrance. They measure 3 to 4 inches wide, display a pearlescent blush, and make excellent cuts for the vase. Just a single snip makes a big-clustered bouquet for the perfect centerpiece.

New Dawn is easy to grow, disease resistant, and a little shade tolerant. This highly versatile rose can be grown on trellises, poles, arches, and pillars, trained along fences or walls, or allowed to fountain on its own.

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.

Beautiful memories

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I am just now ordering . I remember the one my Grandparents had & how beautiful it was when my grandfather made a natural arbor by allowing it to take over the apricot tree! What a beautiful sight, such a beautiful delicate flower! I'm 80 now & don't do much gardening anymore but am determined to work with this one!

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I love love this rose vine. Purchased 2 was not sure how they would do. They are doing so well I'm going to purchased 11 more. Have them climbing on a chain link fence. Will be like having a private fence with out the cost. Would love to send a close up picture. Was not able to find a link.

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.


Jackson and Perkins One Year Roses

What to Expect

If this is the first time your are planting a bare root rose, you may be surprised by their brown roots and dormant stem. However, bare root roses provide the easiest and fastest way of planting roses without the concern of transplant shock.

Bare root roses may appear to be dead upon arrival, but the plants actually have the advantage of being able to focus their energies on strong root development rather than having to support an extensive and stressful growth of leaves right after planting.

Bare root roses are the best option for early-season planting. In fact, late winter is the best time to plant. Our bare root roses are fully established plants that meet the highest industry standards. They arrive dormant, which makes them ideal for planting. The roots get to acclimate to native soil, as opposed to the packaged soil. Of course, since they are not in soil when you get them, there's no mess to contend with.

Bareroot Roses

Due to the nature of plants and the fact that some are younger than others, there will be some variance in the size of our bareroot roses. However, they have all gone through the same quality inspections in order to make sure they meet the high standards we expect from all of our roses.

Gold Standard Stamp of Approval

Each Jackson and Perkins rose is individually inspected and graded to meet our standards for shape, viability, fragrance, and disease resistance.

Jackson and Perkins Exclusive Preservation Process

Our roses are maintained in a suspended state of growth utilizing a state-of-the-art wet cooler. By providing a uniform storage temperature just above freezing and employing a fog system to provide a consistent humidity of 100%, we are able to ensure that each of our roses remains fully hydrated and does not come out of its dormancy before leaving our facility. Bare root roses ordered elsewhere often arrive dry and shriveled. Through our exclusive preservation process, Jackson and Perkins is able to provide a fully hydrated premium bare root rose. Prior to entering the shipping container, we carefully wrap the root system to preserve the moisture and to provide a top-quality rose that is in optimal planting condition.

Gold Standard Stamp of Approval

Our Superior Bare Root Rose Growing Process

At the end of the rose growth cycle, when the rose plant has hardened off and is ready to be harvested, the roses are hand selected according to our top-quality Jackson and Perkins rose standards.
