About New Dawn Rose
Rosa 'New Dawn' is a fast-growing climber in the Rosaceae family. It reaches around 4 m tall and 2.5 m wide at maturity, with deciduous foliage. Pink flowers appear for much of the year.
Where to grow New Dawn Rose
New Dawn Rose suits warm-temperate, cool-temperate and Mediterranean climates and grows best in full sun and part shade or morning sun. It is frost hardy and shrugs off cold winters. It also is an award-winning selection.
Soil & planting
New Dawn Rose does best in free-draining and loamy soil. Plant into well-prepared ground, firm the soil around the roots and water deeply to settle it in.
Watering & feeding
New Dawn Rose does best with regular, moderate watering. Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring to support healthy growth. New plantings need closer moisture checks in hot or windy weather, with watering tapered once strong new growth appears.
Pruning & care
Prune New Dawn Rose after flowering to keep it compact and encourage the next flush of blooms. Its ongoing care level is low maintenance.
Using New Dawn Rose in the garden
New Dawn Rose earns its place for a feature or specimen planting, its fragrance and cut flowers for the vase.
