Coral Dawn

Coral dawn, Boerner 1953

Modern Climber 

Seedling of New Dawn X unknown (Aloha?) 

A creation of the great Papa Floribunda, Gene Boerner. New Dawn is the parent or ancestor of nearly all modern Climbers and Coral Dawn was no exception. In fact the overall growth and look of Coral dawn reminds of New Dawn. Long, stiff canes and glossy dark green foliage. The blooms are fab: Coral pink to light pink, very full, very old fashioned and with a strong fragrance. They usually stand in clusters. She blooms in late spring and again in August and September. To ensure she doesn't only bloom at the top you should shorten the lateral shoots every year. Try to train her horizontally. Health is good and she's extremely Hardy. She can survive Zone 3b. 
A beautiful, sweet rose
