coral Dawn rose

6 years ago

I impulsively ordered a Coral Dawn rose, despite the lack of info on it and knowing New Dawn has a reputation for becoming a bit of a monster. I’m planting it on the side of the garage to wrap around and climb a pergola above the garage. The color seems like it will compliment a small climber on the other side of the garage, and if m hoping the large size will help bridge the gap between the two.

How far should I plant it from the house? I’m also considering rebuilding or reworking the pergola. Now would be the best time to switch the brackets for something deeper. How deep should a pergola be to support a potentially aggressive rose? I’m considering adding posts on either side as well. Even if I decide against Coral Dawn, I want a large rose there and it’s a good time to make any changes to support it.

Any advice on Coral Dawn? Or pergola sizes?

I have to admit, I’m not as excited about this project as I was earlier because I discovered Palatine Roses today. they have so many beautiful climbers I haven’t seen available in my zone before! But the idea of waiting another year to plant is disappointing, so I’m leaning towards going for it and if something better comes up this fall I can always replace Coral Dawn.

Thank you!
