Don Juan climbing rose (Huertea cubensis)
Description
The Don Juan climbing rose -- This is the Rose most often given to spouses or significant others on Valentine's Day or anniversaries! The aptly named 'Don Juan' with its rich red flowers and deep sweet fragrance is the quintessential Rose representing romance. A prodigious climber quickly growing to heights of up to 12 feet and widths of up to 5 feet, this classic cultivar features deep red semi-double blooms of 3 to 4 inches enriched with 30 to 35 velvety petals. The vigorous canes and glossy dark-green foliage complete the ideal composition for arbors or trellises. Magnificent when filled with large, fragrant blooms in the summer, 'Don Juan' shows its most dynamic color in climates with warm nights. Great in high humidity, it's also prolific in cooler, drier climates. A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae, or the flower it bears. There are over a hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. The name rose comes from French, itself from Latin rosa.
