Parade

Parade, Boerner 1953

Modern Climber 

Seedling of New Dawn X World's fair cl.

Parade is a very reliable reblooming climber with deep pink, cupped, very full blooms in clusters. As a seedling of New Dawn it inherited the Wichuraiana genes so we see the dark green Glossy healthy foliage. The rose has a very good disease resistance and is quite Hardy zone 5b to 9b. The wood is a bit less stiff than it's seed parent so Parade can be trained more easily than New Dawn. The rose can be used as a pergola rose, trellis, tall obelisk, Arch etc... Mild to moderate fragrance. 
Reblooming is very good and more regularly and more reliable than New Dawn. After some years Parade can reach 350 cm or 11 feet.
The color is striking and some would argue it's too harsh but it definitely stands out.
