Don Juan Climbing Rose
Climber ‘ Don Juan’
Don Juan Climbing Rose is the quintessential red climber for warm, sunny climates. It produces large, velvety, deep crimson-red blooms with a rich, classic damask fragrance. The flowers are exquisitely formed, high-centered, and appear on long stems perfect for cutting. While it can be slightly more disease-prone in humid areas, its stunning color, intense fragrance, and reliable repeat bloom in heat make it an irresistible choice for a sunny wall or arbor.
