Dick Clark was one of the ones that had a lot of blind growth to start out with this spring. I pruned it back and look at the candelabra it threw up as a result!
I have to say I'm very pleased with this rose. It's one of the few newer ones that actually lives up to it's hype. It's winter hardy, vigorous, healthy, blooms a lot and they last a long time too! |

| Wow! Simply gorgeous! I bought a Dick Clark from Roses Unlimited this year and it is in the ground and just starting to put out tiny new growth, I'm so excited! Yours is so pretty, I love the colors! |

| Very colorful, Seil, and a happy bloomer. |

| Dick Clark is insanelt vigorous for me as well. He's just over six feet tall and blooms continuously. I've had to support some of his long canes though. |

| Thank you, nummy! You're going to love DC! Thanks, Krista! Brittie, I have DC in a pot and I have had to stake him up some. But this cane is really think, like an inch thick, and doesn't seem to need any support. I have 2 new basal breaks coming at the bottom too! |

| Wow again! Gorgeous and so healthy looking.I hope DC makes up for all those thrips you had chew on your paler roses. Diane |

| Wow, how great! I love all the color! So glad it is doing so well for you, very pretty! I'd like to try this rose, it sure seems bright and beautiful. |

| Wow! What a healthy rose! Dark, shiny, unblemished leaves. Hallmark of an expert gardener. |

| That's beautiful, seil. I've never seen a candelabra type bloom on a HT--love to get one also. DC is so gorgeous--I'm trying to slowly cut back in my rose garden. When I lose a rose, I don't replace it--my garden is getting a bit too big for me to care for it. But every time I see DC, I come close to forgetting I'm trying to cut back. All I can think of is "I want"! LOL Kate |

| Thanks, Nana! The thrips seem to have gone down but the heat is crisping a lot of them now. Thank you, merlcat! I would highly recommend DC! Lol, Joe, thanks but I think those clean leaves are due to this hot dry weather and not my expertise! Thank you, Kate! It's funny but I get a lot of these on my HTs. Folklore and Veterans' Honor give me big sprays at least once or twice a season too. If you do ever decide to add one DC would be a good choice! |
