Description

'New Dawn' is a tall, large-flowered climbing rose, 10 to 20 ft (305—610 cm) in height with a 5 to 6 ft (152—182 cm) spread. Blooms are 3.5 in (8.9 cm) in diameter, with 26 to 40 petals. Flowers have a high-centered, cupped to flat bloom form, and are borne singly or in small clusters. The flowers are light pink in color with a paler pink at the edges, aging to white as the flower matures. The rose has a mild, sweet fragrance and medium sized, glossy, dark green foliage. In autumn, the rose produces a large number of rose hips. 'New Dawn' blooms in flushes during the growing season, and will often continue to flower through the middle of winter. The plant is recommended for USDA zone 5 and warmer.[3][4]
