White Dawn® Climbing Rose

Brighten your landscape with the showy,fragrant blooms of White Dawn® Climbing Rose (Rosa 'White Dawn'). These gorgeous, vigorous rambling climbers are covered in ruffled, ivory-white blooms with up to 35 petals apiece.

Although the large, semi-double blooms of White Dawn Rose resemble Gardenia, they feature a sweet Rose scent and high-contrast dark green foliage. Enjoy the blooms in your garden, or cut them for incredible floral arrangements indoors.

Planting and Application

One of the most disease resistant Climbing Roses, White Dawn produces wave after wave of white blooms from late spring through fall. Leave the last blooming flush of the autumn season to develop into pretty red hips for birds and winter decoration!

• Use them as an effective privacy screen on a trellis, a boon for small space gardens. You get a lot of coverage from White Dawn, in exchange for a minimal footprint.
• On slopes, try Climbing Roses as an effective groundcove and barrier planting! Space them four feet apart on center; measuring from the center of one to the center of the next.
• Even a single White Dawn Rose can be trained to cover a tall tower, pillar or obelisk. Place these garden structures in your mixed garden border and achieve year-round interest!
• Tie White Dawn canes at a 45-degree angle to your sturdy structure for the most prolific flowering. Flexible landscape ties are strong, but won't bind the canes too tightly.
• Turn a modern eyesore into a feature. Old chain link fences and TV antennae can become a bower of snowy, fragrant blooms!

#ProPlantTips for Care: 

Choose a planting site with full sun and well-drained soil. Give Roses a consistent, even amount of water. Rose food supports bloom production.

• Add Nature Hils Root Booster to the planting hole to provide a life-long resource. Get expert planting tips on our Support Page.
• Rake and bag the fallen leaf litter each fall. Rose foliage should not be composted; place it in your yard waste instead.
• Every three years, do renewal pruning to keep White Dawn Climbing Rose. Untie the canes after the first flush of flowers are finished; then prune the oldest, thickest canes out at ground level and retie the young, thin canes.
