Don Juan Rose
Climbing 'Don Juan' Rose
Don Juan Rose is a lovely climbing red rose with beautiful large double blooms and velvety romantic red rose petals makes a stunning effect in a garden, especially if it's trained against a white painted support. The super fragrant flowers on 'Don Juan' appear singly or in small clusters and have a lovely hybrid tea shape. Starting in early spring there is a profusion of flowers with a moderate repeat-bloom during the rest of the season. The orange hips appear in the fall adding extra interest to the Don Juan climber and food for the birds in winter.
'Don Juan' rose was for several years the leading dark red crimson flowered climber in the US, and it's still widely available around the world. The beautiful rose flowers last well, both as cut flowers and on the bush. The tough dark green foilage is very attractive, though it might need protection from blackspot in some areas. The plant is vigorous, prickly, and upright, but not especially tall growing, which means it can be used as a pillar rose. It is also a perfect rose as a climber for a small garden or balcony. Climbing 'Don Juan' does especially well in hot areas. It's scent is absolutely delicious. My sister has a 'Don Juan' climber by her front entrance, and when people come to her front door, they are greeted by a waft of this wonderful fragrance. She said everyone notices it, and she gets so many compliments on the fragrant 'Don Juan'rose. Zone 6-11, height 8-13 feet.
