Dick Clark™ bedding grandiflora rose – WEKfunk
Colour play and character come together in Dick Clark™, a bushy, upright grandiflora that fits effortlessly into family-sized beds and cottage-style borders where maintenance must stay simple despite frequent rain and brisk coastal winds; its medium-sized, cupped, double blooms shift from buttery cream-yellow to raspberry-edged tones through the season, offering long-lasting flowering for front gardens and around-the-house planting. The plant forms a dense, dark green backdrop that keeps borders looking tidy, while remontant flushes provide reliable cut stems for the house with a clearly noticeable sweet, spicy fragrance. As an own-root rose, it develops a stable shrub that can regenerate well after harsher winters, supporting a genuine long-term lifespan in typical British clay or chalk soils. Over time, you see roots first, then shoots, and by the third year full ornamental impact as the bush anchors itself and settles naturally into your garden routine.

Usage options
Target area
Reasoning
Front garden feature shrub
The striking cream-yellow blooms with cherry-red edges create instant kerbside interest without demanding specialist care, and the bushy, upright habit fills its allotted space neatly, supporting a low-effort but visually confident entrance for the typical time-pressed beginner
Small mixed cottage border
Dense, glossy foliage and medium height let this rose sit comfortably among perennials and traditional cottage plants, providing repeating waves of colour while remaining manageable to prune and deadhead, suiting style-conscious gardeners seeking relaxed charm with straightforward upkeep
Flower bed groups (1–5 plants)
At recommended spacings the plants knit into a coherent, flowering block, their repeat-blooming habit giving season-long colour with only moderate feeding and pest checks, ideal for those wanting a reliable bed of roses rather than complex mixed plant schemes, especially the busy home owner
Cutting patch for home bouquets
Medium, cupped double blooms and strong stems work well as informal cut flowers, while the sweet, spicy scent adds value indoors; remontant flowering means several picking opportunities each season, ideal for those who enjoy simple, seasonal arrangements without demanding florist-level skills
Specimen near patio or seating area
Planted close to paths or terraces, the clearly noticeable fragrance and shifting petal tones can be enjoyed at short range, while the moderate maintenance needs mean it remains attractive with occasional care, suiting households that relax outdoors and want a focal point that quietly looks after itself
Own-root long-term shrub in family garden
As an own-root plant, the shrub forms its natural shape in situ, recovering better from hard pruning or weather damage and staying true to type year after year, offering a dependable structural rose for evolving family gardens that value continuity and reduced replacement costs
Partial shade side border
Tolerant of partial shade, this variety can brighten side paths and north-east facing borders where sunlight is limited, maintaining colour and flower production with only moderate feeding, helpful for urban plots where house shadows constrain planting options for the casual gardener
Raised bed in heavier soils
In raised beds or improved clay, the upright, well-anchoring habit and moderate drought tolerance keep the plant stable and presentable even through wet, windy spells, making it a sensible choice where drainage and exposure are concerns for the practical family buyer
Styling ideas
Cottage-duo – Combine with foxgloves and simple perennials for a relaxed cottage look that highlights the colour-changing blooms – ideal for romantic front-garden enthusiasts
Kerbside-focus – Plant 3 shrubs in a gentle arc by the drive to create a tidy, repeating feature that looks cared-for with minimal effort – suited to busy commuters
Patio-show – Use a single plant in a 50–60 litre container as a scented focal point by seating, with low herbs at the base – perfect for small urban patios
Colour-ribbon – Run a short hedge of plants along a path, using their upright habit to frame movement through the garden – appealing to families wanting clear structure
Cutting-corner – Dedicate a small bed to 3–5 plants for home-cut flowers, underplanted with low groundcovers to keep maintenance simple – good for creative home decorators

Bred by Christian Bédard and Tom Carruth in the United States from ‘Fourth of July’ × unknown seedling; introduced by Weeks Roses in 2011 after 2009 registration.
Awards and recognition
All-America Rose Selections winner in 2011 and American Rose Society Members’ Choice 2015, indicating strong garden performance and sustained popularity with enthusiasts.
Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy, upright shrub reaching about 140–180 cm high and 80–120 cm wide, with dense, glossy dark green foliage and moderate prickliness; self-cleaning is partial, some deadheading needed.
Flower morphology
Medium-sized, cupped, double blooms with 26–39 petals, mostly borne singly; remontant habit delivers repeated, abundant flushes, especially the second flowering, across the main season.
Colour data and phenology
Cream-yellow base with cherry-red to burgundy edges; colour deepens in heat and softens in cooler weather, retaining good definition without strong fading over the life of each flower.
Fragrance and aroma
Clearly noticeable, medium-strength sweet, spicy scent best appreciated at close range; decorative first, with fragrance adding value around paths, patios and seating areas rather than indoors.
Hip characteristics
Rose hips are usually sparse; when present they are spherical, vivid red (RHS 40A), around 10–14 mm across, appearing sporadically and adding only minor late-season ornamental interest.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Moderate resistance to black spot, mildew and rust; benefits from standard preventive care. Hardy to about -26 to -23 °C (RHS H7, USDA 5b), coping with typical UK winters when established.
Horticultural recommendations
Best at 60–110 cm spacing depending on use; medium maintenance with occasional pest control, watering in drought and light pruning. Suitable for partial shade and raised beds in heavier soils.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”; it illustrates the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root cultivation in a tangible way: how the plant is built up, what the root system is like and how the shoot system regenerates. The recordings were therefore made at different times and with plants at various stages of development, so mixed foliage levels and differing stages of growth may appear in the videos. They are not a ‘sample’ of the batch dispatched, but a visual explanation of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical for the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown in the upper part of the product page.
