Climbing rose plant named ‘Radcancan’

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of rose plant is provided which forms in abundance on a substantially continuous basis attractive semi-double blossoms wherein the coloration is magenta red to light pink suffused with cream-white towards the center. The vegetation is vigorous and the growth habit is upright and climbing. Attractive ornamental medium green foliage having a semi-glossy aspect is formed. During observations to date the disease resistance has been excellent, particularly with respect to blackspot. The cold hardiness of the new variety also is excellent, particularly for a climbing rose. The new variety is particularly well suited for growing as distinctive ornamentation in parks, gardens, and residential settings. Instead of a climber, the plant can alternatively be trimmed and grown as a compact rose bush in the absence of support.
