Rose John Clare

The medium-sized, cup-shaped flowers are in large clusters. The foliage is dark green, the shoots are slender and almost thornless. Forms a bushy, upright plant of an attractive shape, sometimes bends under the heavy flower clusters, so it should be pruned well and/or supported a little during flowering. The anemone like, light flowers have their own charm and impress with their non-fading deep pink hue.

The most remarkable thing about the rose, however, is its particularly intense autumn bloom, which often begins when all other roses have finished blooming.

Named after the poet, John Clare, for The John Clare Society in the UK.
