Rosa Dick Clark is an exquisite Grandiflora rose with large, 3.5 in. across (9 cm), very double (29 petals), classically-formed, cream flowers adorned with cherry-pink edges, gradually changing to burgundy-red. Opening from long, pointed buds, the blossoms have a moderate, cinnamon spice fragrance. Borne mostly solitary on long cutting stems, they bloom in flushes from spring to fall and stand out against the lush foliage of shiny, dark green leaves. A compact, bushy, nicely rounded shrub rose that is very disease resistant. Perfect for beds, borders or as a flowering hedge.
- 2011 All-America Rose Selection – the most prestigious rose award in the USA.
- Grows up to 4-5 ft. tall and wide (120-150 cm).
- An excellent choice for beds, borders, flowering hedges, or containers. Stunning when mass-planted. Excellent cut flowers.
- Best grown in full sun, in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils.
- Propagate by hardwood cuttings in autumn or by chip budding in summer.
- Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that
