Introduced

1974

Part of the Canadian Explorer Series, 'William Baffin' was hybridized by Felicitas Svejda in 1974 to withstand the harshest prairie winters. It is a Hybrid Kordesii climber of exceptional hardiness (Zone 3). It produces abundant clusters of medium-sized, semi-double, deep pink flowers with a light fragrance, blooming heavily in June and repeating through summer. The plant is immensely vigorous, reaching 8–10 feet, with clean, disease-resistant foliage. It is ideal for northern gardeners seeking a reliable, low-maintenance climber for arbors, fences, or pillars.
