Family Rosaceae

The hardy Rosa ‘John Davis’ rose is a vigorous and very floriferous Canadian variety prized for its delicate, soft pink flowers with romantic charm. This rose, with its flexible and slightly climbing habit, produces abundant clusters of double flowers that appear continuously from summer until the first frosts. Its dense, medium green foliage elegantly highlights the softness of the flowers and provides an excellent ornamental presence in northern gardens. Developed as part of the Explorer program, Rosa ‘John Davis’ combines exceptional hardiness, vigor, and long flowering. Its flexible growth allows it to be used as a large shrub or on a trellis, fence, or pergola. Grown in full sun in well-drained soil, this rose attracts pollinators and is a durable and easy-to-maintain choice for cold-hardy landscaping.
