Rose Type: Climbing Rose
Don Juan is a classic climbing rose known for large, dark red blooms with a rich, velvety appearance. The flowers reach approximately 5 inches across and carry 30–35 petals, creating a full, dramatic display against dark green foliage. Its deep color and substantial bloom size make it especially striking when trained over vertical garden structures.
The flowers carry a strong classic rose fragrance, while the vigorous climbing plant can reach about 12–15 feet tall. Don Juan also performs well as a cut flower and shows good practical disease resistance, along with tolerance for heat and coastal conditions. Its size and climbing habit make it particularly well suited for arbors, trellises, and fences.
