Dick Clark
Grandiflora Bred By Carruth/Bedard The Dick Clark rose is a stunning Grandiflora variety known for its striking color changes and resilience.

The plant grows to about 4-5 feet tall and is ideal for borders, beds, or as a focal point in the garden due to its showy blooms and changing colors. It thrives best in full sun and well-drained soil. The Dick Clark rose has a moderate, spicy-sweet fragrance. It combines a light, fruity scent with a hint of spice, which enhances the overall sensory experience of the rose.
