More information
John Clare is an English Rose that resembles a dark pink floribunda and flowers profusely. The cup-shaped blooms are filled with short petals, deep pink at the center and on the reverse, paler at the edges. They appear at the ends of long shoots in clusters of 5–9, produced in large numbers. David Austin considers this variety the most abundantly flowering of his roses. The petals do not drop readily, so performance is better in dry climates. Young foliage is red, later turning dark green. The bush is vigorous and disease resistant.
John Clare is an English rose that blooms for a long period throughout summer; autumn flowering approaches the level of early-summer bloom. It lacks fragrance. The flowers are cup-shaped, borne in dense clusters, and of a rich, radiant pink colour. It forms a low, rounded bush with arching, drooping shoots. The foliage is glossy.
