John Davis rose

This rose was a birthday gift for a close family friend, whose name is the exact same as the rose - and was planted on his 79th birthday in November 2024 with the Heirloom mint compost products! While visiting from time to time with this family, we have been able to see that the rose has grown multiple long canes since it was first planted last year on a rose trellis next to their covered back entrance, where they see & enjoy it daily! They even shared their photos of its beautiful first blooms! It is such a healthy & vigorously growing plant - and of course, quite sentimental as well! I hope that he and his family enjoy it for years to come!

She's a beast!

I planted this in June 2024. Now, it's June 2025, and you can see the progress in my photos! I'm in Chicago zone 5/6, so we do have cold winters, and she has not suffered any damage and does not require any special protection. She gave me only a few blooms last season, but look at her now, absolutely covered! Unfortunately, there is no scent.

Lovely!

I wanted a hardy climber for a walk through arbor from my yard to my neighbors. It has almost no thorns which is perfect for a walk through. Repeat blooms very well. Beautiful with purple clematis growing through it!! Love Heirloom Roses!!

Strong and Healthy Canes

John Davis is the second rose in the Canadian Explorer series that I've grown. I planted it in fall here in Michigan. It arrived with green, strong, and healthy canes. It is busy establishing roots next to my rose trellis. I look forward to its blooms next summer!
