Rosa 'John Davis' – Hardy Explorer Climber

Rosa 'John Davis' (Hybrid Kordesii / Climber)

Family: Rosaceae
Genus: Rosa
Cultivar: John Davis
Additional Names: Explorer Series Collection
Hybridizer: Svejda
Introduced: 1977

Part of the Canadian Explorer Series (1977), 'John Davis' was bred by Felicitas Svejda for extreme hardiness (Zone 3). It is a Hybrid Kordesii climber that produces clusters of medium-sized, double, medium pink flowers with a light fragrance, blooming heavily in June and repeating through summer. The plant is very vigorous, reaching 8–10 feet, with clean, disease-resistant foliage and strong, arching canes. It is ideal for cold-climate gardeners needing a reliable, heavy-blooming pink climber for arbors or fences.
