A really beautiful, repeat-flowering, climbing rose, particularly lovely trained onto a house wall, Rosa New Dawn is a medium-sized to large, vigorous, deciduous climbing rose with slender, thorny stems and plentiful, glossy, mid-green foliage. From July to September, prettily shaped buds open into loosely double, silvery-pink flowers, deepening in colour at the centre, with a medium-strong, sweet and fruity fragrance. This is a rose that will tolerate partial shade and poorer soils, and the slender, flexible stems are easy to train. Climbing rose New Dawn holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
