| J.F. Quadra |
| Explorer Climber/Shrub (1994) |
| We've been waiting along time to get a hardy,very beautiful climber for the northern gardens & finally we have one. |
| Quadra is from Agriculture Canada's Explorer Series of roses. It was released in 1994 and has been very slow to make it's way onto the market. But now it's here! Naturally growing around 6'on it's own roots, this rose makes a wonderful hardy, low climber.Its very double, deep red, not burgundy, blossoms are accompanied by the wonder burgundy tinged new foliage. The 3.5 inch blooms are born in clusters of 3-4 with each rose having an average of 66 petals. Shorter inward petals give the rose an "old rose look".Very vigorous & healthy plants. |
| Hardy to zone 3. We like it's fragrance. Repeats very well. A great rose for people who wish for a hardy true red climber in cold climates. |
| parentage: a cross form Queen Elizabeth, Arthur Bell & a double red unnamed clone from R. Simonet & a line derived form R kordesii, Red Dawn & Suzanne. |
| 2 & 3 yr. own root plants |
