Climber that won't fry on a west facing wall
Comments (11)Catspa, It sounds like tea noisettes really like it here. I was at the SanJo Heritage Rose Garden last weekend. I checked out a huge Crepuscule on a row end there. This rose was occupying a space roughly the same size as the arbor I'm planning to build, but it looked like someone was fighting with it to keep it in bounds. It had scars on it from where someone had pruned out 3" diameter canes. I don't mind the rose sending canes down over the window during the growing season, but this was more than I am prepared to deal with. Are all tea noisettes as vigorous as this? Are Alister Stella Grey's canes a bit more pliable? Also, do your tea noisettes go deciduous, or do they keep their foliage all winter? Ingrid, I'm sorry to hear that your Reve d'Or got cooked. I'm planning to tear out the sidewalk in the picture and build the arbor roughly 12' high, 10' wide and 4' deep, so the arbor and bed around it will be bigger than the existing bed and won't get reflected heat from the sidewalk. Also, the rose will be planted right on our graywater line, so it will get plenty of water. I realize that it is still a gamble growing a rose in a situation like this, but I'm hard headed, and want to give it a try. I can live with the singed blossoms during the dog days of summer; after all, they look how I feel at that point in the year. I think that wall would be vastly improved by being covered with a rose. I have to try it before I give up and start fighting with a wisteria...See MoreClimbing Roses in containers to cover NYC rooftop Pergola
Comments (18)Dear lola-lemon, diane_nj and jaxondel! Thank you so much for your feedback and help! I appreciate it so much! LOLA: Thank you for the compliment about my Pergola :-) I too see lots of potential in it :-) and am eager to put it to good use! Thank you for recommending helpmefind.com this is a really cool website and I found such beautiful flowers on it! "pierre de ronsard" sounds so pretty already! It still is one of my top favourites! Now I am trying to find out if there is a way I would be able to maybe bring the roses indoor over the winter...at least the first few... I don't know yet. Maybe if I lean trellises up the sides leading to the pergola roof and then take the containers with trellis and roses indoor. For the Clematis I am lucky because I have another additional roof from which I can see the top of the pergola so it might even ass some extra beauty to have Clematis bloom on the top? I have, and am still considering wisteria, thank you! I have just read so many things of them being such an "aggressive" grower and it made me a little shy away from them! I do love the amethyst one and have read that I could grow these in containers! I wouldn't want to do any harm to a plant so if growing roses which I fell SO IN LOVE WITH would be too risky, Wisteria definitely would be my go to choice! With some lavender close by in other containers :-) DIANE: thank you so much for the great resource! I have been browsing the Manhattan Rose Society and am thrilled!! I heard of covering the containers and bottom of the roses with blankets and such over the winter, do you think that would be sufficient? For the size of containers I could have any size built I would need! I will get in touch with people at the society certainly someone will know! JAXONDEL: That's a thought I didn't even consider until now! Thank you for making me aware! the picture shows the view on to the top of the Pergola from the higher roof level:...See MoreMassive Yard Remodel
Comments (36)Thanks so much for the encouragement everyone. I was planning only 10 roses in the backyard before I found this forum. Lol. Now I have I think around 70 in the back yard. But on my own, I had already planted about 60 azaleas in the front yard and maybe 30-40 roses throughout the past 3 years (although a lot are just carpet roses for drought tolerance)... and that was before I found this forum, so obviously I had the pre-existing propensity for this. ;) I didn't really need a lot of arm twisting or convincing to go for more! Everyone here has helped me so much. Please if you're in the Bay Area of northern CA, direct message me and maybe I can invite you over! :)...See Morebest climbing rose for container / side of house?
Comments (33)All right, with the help of HMF, I've narrowed it down to Awakening, Iceburg, Cecile Brunner Climbing, and Rosarium Uetersen. In other locations, I'm interested in Fair Bianca, The Fairy, Crown Princess Marguerite, Abraham Darby, Zephirine Droughin (definitely getting to grow on a fence!!), and Souvenir de la Malmaison. HOW do you narrow it down>? :) I've discovered that I'm only interested in the 'double ruffled' and fairly continuous bloom varieties. Dirt Digger, thank you so much for the list. Going to look those up!...See More- 12 years agolast modified: 9 years ago
