Rosa grandiflora ‘Dick Clark’, commonly known as the ‘Dick Clark’ grandiflora rose, is a spectacular variety with striking contrast and an upright, bushy habit. It produces large, double, velvety red flowers intensely edged with creamy white, offering a dramatic bicolor effect that evolves throughout the season. Borne in clusters on long, sturdy stems, its lightly fragrant roses are ideal for cutting and have excellent vase life. Its glossy dark green foliage highlights the depth of the colors and adds beautiful structure to flower beds, borders, or isolated plantings. Blooming throughout the summer, Rosa grandiflora ‘Dick Clark’ attracts pollinators and brings an elegant and bold touch to landscape designs.
