I love roses and this is one of my roses
"New Dawn" A rose I really like it grows so easily and have really many roses every early summer.

Climbing Rose 'New Dawn' has kept on top of his career, ever since American breeders created it in 1930. A remarkable achievement. But certainly a deserved success. Context of 'New Dawn's success are the many good properties of the assembled in a single plant. It is both healthy, hardy and very easy to grow. The overwhelming bloom over a long period, and each flower is individually a small miracle. Easily filled, pale pink and the scent of roses. It canot be more romantic.
