John Cabot is a beautiful and easy to grow winter-hardy
climbing rose. It has large, semi-double blossoms that are
a deep-pink to medium-red color. The blossoms have a slight
fragrance and are borne in clusters of 3 to 10 blossoms. This
rose is covered in blooms in late June and early July, and
then has repeat blossoms throughout the rest of the summer.
John Cabot is easily trained to climb a post, as shown in
the photo to the left. It can climb about 9 feet or so in
Zone 4a. Or it can be left untrained to form a large, arching
shrub that will spread about 8-feet wide and get about 6-feet
tall. It has healthy foliage and is very winter hardy; it
can be left on a trellis with no cane dieback in Zone 4a.

What's a "bareroot" plant?
 "Bareroot"
is a term that describes how a plant is shipped to you. A
bareroot plant is not in a pot, and is usually dormant (not
actively growing). See the photo to the right that shows what
a bareroot rose looks like. The bareroot plants that we ship
to you were harvested in the fall and placed in cold storage
over the winter to keep them dormant. In the spring, we ship
the bareroot plants to our customers, from early April through
mid May.
Bareroot plants are easy to grow. We include planting instructions
with your order. When you receive your plant, take it out
of the packing material and place it in a bucket of water
so that the roots are completely covered. Let the roots soak
for 4 to 24 hours, then plant it in your garden. Full planting
instructions with photos are available on our Planting
Roses page.
