Rosa Dick Clark (Grandiflora Rose)
Rose Dick Clark, Rosa 'Wekfunk' PP23455, Grandiflora Roses, Shrub Roses
Rosa Dick Clark is an exquisite Grandiflora rose with large, 3.5 in. across (9 cm), very double (29 petals), classically-formed, cream flowers adorned with cherry-pink edges, gradually changing to burgundy-red. Opening from long, pointed buds, the blossoms have a moderate, cinnamon spice fragrance. Borne mostly solitary on long cutting stems, they bloom in flushes from spring to fall and stand out against the lush foliage of shiny, dark green leaves. A compact, bushy, nicely rounded shrub rose that is very disease resistant. Perfect for beds, borders or as a flowering hedge.
- 2011 All-America Rose Selection – the most prestigious rose award in the USA.
- Grows up to 4-5 ft. tall and wide (120-150 cm).
- An excellent choice for beds, borders, flowering hedges, or containers. Stunning when mass-planted. Excellent cut flowers.
- Best grown in full sun, in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils.
- Propagate by hardwood cuttings in autumn or by chip budding in summer.
- Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you’ll probably find you’ll have to prune a little more than that
- Bred by Christian Bédard (United States, before 2008). Bred by Tom Carruth (United States, before 2008).
