The first climbing rose of the Explorer series, the vigorous growth makes it ideal for use as a climber. Its fragrant blooms appear in great abundance early in summer and continue until frost in a gamut of shades from orchid-pink to fuchsia-red, all complemented by lustrous soft green foliage. The lovely flowers are followed by attractive hips of orange. This is a wonderful, repeat blooming fully double rose, petal count is 40.

Healthy and gorgeous

Planted in spring 24, and it bloomed all summer, even during the heat! Of my explorer roses from HR, this one has the strongest fragrance. (My others are John Davis and William Baffin.)

John Cabot roses

I received these and they were very healthy and packaged very well. I planted them about a month ago in zone 5b and they have already doubled in size and look very healthy. I am so excited and can't wait for them to grow up my trellis and bloom.

Super hardy, awesome rose

Very vigorous and healthy growth in my zone 5 Denver garden. No winter dieback, giant climber canes. A real winner for cold climates; I'm collecting more of the Explorer series roses!

Perfect

Our 7,000' Grand Mesa garden had this rose in it. It was beautiful and hardy bloomer, climbing up a trellis in a colder corner that caught the wind, but did not seem to mind at all.
