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 blooms open in shades of creamy white and pink, then darken to deep red and burgundy as they mature, creating a beautiful, multicolored effect. Each bloom is fully double, with around 25-30 petals, and has a light, spicy fragrance. The rose is a repeat bloomer, producing flowers from spring through fall. It is also highly resistant to diseases like black spot and mildew, making it a low-maintenance option for gardeners.

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. The fragrance is noticeable but not overwhelming, making it a pleasant addition to gardens and floral arrangements.
