One of the Explorer Series roses, all of which are named after early explorers of Canada, 'William Baffin' is one big, tough rose. Use either as shrub or a climber. It can reach 9 feet tall, so it can be used as a screen. Prune as necessary but beware the many sharp thorns. It blooms from mid-June and off and on again until mid-October, producing an abundance of beautiful bright pink blooms. Canadian Explorer Series roses are known for their winter hardiness, disease resistance, and repeat blooms. Grow in full sun to part shade and provide adequate moisture and good air circulation.
