Rich with a strong rose fragrance, Rosa ‘Don Juan’ is a climbing hybrid tea rose with very large, full, cupped-to-flat, dark velvety red flowers, up to 4 in. across (10 cm), having as many as 30-35 petals. Blooming in flushes from early summer and throughout the season, the sumptuous blooms stand out against the leathery foliage of glossy, dark green leaves and make an impressive display. Regarded as one of the best of the red climbers, this rose has seduced gardeners and rosarians for more than half a century. A spectacular climbing rose for walls, arbors, fences, pillars, or other structures. Excellent as cut flowers too.

  • Grows up to 12-14 ft. tall (360-420 cm) and 3-6 ft. wide (90-180 cm).
  • Perfect climber for walls, arbors, fences, or other garden structures. Plant it where you will be able to enjoy its perfume daily: near a doorway, along a path, near your patio or deck. Excellent cut flowers.
  • Best grown in full sun, in rich, fertile, moist, well-drained soils.
  • Bred by Michele Malandrone (Italy, 1958)
