Don Juan Rose - An easy keeper!!
Colour, I warrant you, is as red as any rose, King Henry IV, part II: II, iv...Shakespere
This was the first rose I grew successfully.
Don Juan is a very heat tolerant rose, beautifully fragrant, with profuse blooms. It's deep crimson red is striking in a vase or just left on the bush.
This rose is a climber. You can attach 4x4's to a fence and stretch goat panel or chicken wire across and watch it climb. Looks great against a white picket fence.
My experience is that it blooms much of the year.
The petals are like velvet to the touch.
