Don Juan climbing rose from Jackson & PerkinsToday, I’m going to share with you the secret to growing beautiful roses. Just pick the right rose, one that’s ‘fool proof’. The Don Juan Climbing Rose is my secret weapon.

One of the only fragrant red climbers in the world, Don Juan is a glorious presence in any garden. Dramatic, crimson flowers with velvety, ruffled petals and an intoxicating damask scent are a standout. And the blossoms are set on long stems, just perfect for cutting!

Don Juan Climbing Rose grows 8 to 10 feet tall with massive 5′ blooms in profusion. The dark green foliage is the perfect backdrop for the brilliant flowers. And they ARE brilliant, almost too beautiful to believe. I have 6 plants along the sunny side of my house and they are magnificent against the white siding. People think I have a magic touch with roses, but these are so easy, they practically grow themselves. Extremely hardy and disease resistant, I would recommend Don Juan to any rose lover, but especially to a rose gardener that’s just getting started.
