When looking for some old-time charm, there is nothing more classic than a white climbing rose like White Dawn (Rosa ‘White Dawn’). Quickly reaching 10-12 feet long and wide, White Dawn is perfect for climbing up an arbor or trellis, cascading along a fence, or creating a supported hedge. It features dense, dark green leaves and beautiful, contrasting ivory blooms. The gardenia scent of this rose will fill your yard continuously from late spring through late fall.
Disease resistance is a must when looking for the perfect rose bush, and White Dawn does not disappoint. With regular maintenance and good cultural practices, White Dawn will continue to grow and bloom for years, making a statement in your garden. While White Dawn can be grown as a large shrub, it does best when provided sturdy support. Like many other roses, White Dawn demonstrates excellent heat tolerance and is suitable for hot, humid, sunny spots.
White Dawn Climbing Rose Care
The White Dawn Climbing Rose will grow best in a full sun spot in well-draining, normal-to-loamy soil. Climbing roses do best when watered deeply about once a week in temperate weather. In hotter, drier conditions, you may need to water this rose more frequently. Avoid wetting the leaves to reduce the risk of foliar infections. To plant White Dawn, dig a hole that is at least twice the width and as deep as the root ball. Tie the bush to a sturdy horizontal structure to assist in upward growth, and provide an arbor, trellis, or other structure for it to climb.
Pruning to remove dead growth and improve air flow is vital for growing healthy roses. Once White Dawn has begun growing in the spring, prune any dead or damaged branches and train new and old climbing branches on a support. Remove spent flowers and rosehips to encourage repeat blooming. For best flowering and growth, apply compost or a bloom-boosting fertilizer in the spring. Apply a thick layer of mulch around the base of the plant in late fall to aid in root protection through the winter.
White Dawn Climbing Rose Spacing
Plant the White Dawn Climbing Rose in a spot where it has plenty of room to grow and spread, at least 10 feet away from other plants. Due to its size and extensive root system, planting White Dawn in a container is not recommended.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
