More information
Despite the name, Coral Dawn is rich pink rather than coral. The foliage is dark, glossy, disease-resistant, as in New Dawn; the blooms are more double, and the shrub is denser and more branched. Flowers are globular, with many short petals, fragrant. Performance is better in dry weather, as the petals are soft and easily damaged by rain. Blooms appear singly or in clusters of up to 7 (usually 3), and age to a pale pink. In bright sun they may fade noticeably. The shrub is very thorny. Suitable for low supports, flowering continuously until the first frost.
Buds are oval. Flowers coral-pink, of regular form, large (9–10 cm), double (30–35 petals), fragrant, borne singly and in inflorescences of up to 16. Leaves dark green, glossy, leathery. Bushes are spreading, up to 2 m high. Flowering is abundant and prolonged, with good repeat. Fruits set; hips are large, round. Winter-resistant. For group and shrub forms.
