An Explorer shrub rose bred by Svejda and introduced in 1980. . It is more tender than most of this series. After two successful mapping expeditions in the central Arctic of Canada, John Franklin, one of the most famous arctic explorers, sailed into Lancaster Sound in 1845 and vanished. 'John Franklin' originated from a cross between the floribunda 'Lilli Marlene' and a hardy seedling originating from 'Red Pinocchio', 'Joanna Hill' and R. spinosissima. Zone 3, will survive down to –35°C. The photograph has been supplied by Morden Research Station, Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada. | ||||
