Climbing rose 'Don Juan'

Climbing Rose 'Don Juan' (Rosa 'Don Juan'). Rosa 'Don Juan', a climbing rose with an intense and deeply fragrant character, is renowned for its large, double, dark velvety red flowers with thick, satiny petals forming an elegantly structured cup. Its powerful, rich, and captivating fragrance makes it one of the most popular red climbers for gardens where scent is as much desired as visual impact. The flowers are produced in regular clusters and offer sustained blooming that beautifully enhances arches, pergolas, and trellises. Its dense, vigorous dark green foliage creates a spectacular contrast with the depth of the red and contributes to good overall resistance.

To plant the climbing rose 'Don Juan', choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is: rich, deep, well-drained. Water at the base and allow air to circulate between the branches. Remove dead parts with a clean tool, then adapt pruning to the rose's group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the possible presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow for a width of 2 m (6.6 ft) to plan this plant's space in the garden. The indicated height of 3 m (10 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Combine this variety with plants that have compatible light and water needs. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Roots in pots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
