large-flowered climbing rose

Rosa 'New Dawn' is a large-flowered climbing rose that will thrive when given regular watering. Water the rose when the top few inches of soil feel dry to the touch. During the hot summer months, the roses may need to be watered every day or every other day. During spring and autumn, the rose will likely need to be watered every other week. In cold winter months, water the rose once a month or when the soil is especially dry. It is important to apply plenty of water each time, as the root system needs to be adequately hydrated. If the soil becomes very dry, give the rose a deep soaking - about 1 inch of water - to bring it back to life.

Large-flowered climbing roses (Rosa 'New Dawn') thrive in full sunlight. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day, although 8 or more hours is best. Consider planting the roses in an area that gets full sun in the morning, such as the east side of the house or garden. If this is not possible, plant on the south side so that the roses will at least get the brightest part of the day. They should be planted in a location that is protected from the evening sun, as too much hot afternoon sunlight can have a drying effect on the plant and its flowers.

Large-flowered climbing rose (Rosa 'New Dawn') should be pruned twice a year. The first pruning should occur in late winter, after the last expected frost and just before the first signs of growth. At this time, you should prune off any dead, diseased, or damaged canes as well as any weak and unproductive canes. This will promote good air circulation and encourage strong new growth. The second pruning should occur in late summer, after flowering has finished and just before the plant enters its dormant period. This time, you should prune off any dead flowers and thin out any overcrowded stems to ensure your rose bush has plenty of room to grow. Both prunings should be done carefully, taking each stem 1 at a time to gauge size and shape before removing or leaving it.
