suggestion for yellow climbing rose for zone 5 (Iowa)
Comments (12)HMF has Golden Showers hardy to zone 3. I love this rose. It does get a bit of black spot in the hot humid southeast. But when it blooms, it scents the yard (or in my case porch, since I have it growing up and around my front porch ) which a delicate honey scent. Bright yellow blooms that open fully. I also have Teasing Georgia. Being an Austin, it has the puffy blooms. I'm not sure it would get to climbing status in zone 5 but it's still a very pretty rose. Mine is a monster this year....See MoreYellow climbing rose suggestions or orange/yellow
Comments (3)We have a Lemon Meringe, a sport of Westerland, that does well planted against a furnace chimney (warmest spot in our yard.) It puts out a great spring flush, and repeats at the top of its new canes later in the year. Then, the following year, we pull the canes horizontal, so we get blooms along the laterals.

Comments (30)Crepuscule would be a much larger plant than the shrub form of Lady Hillingdon. The one at the SJHRG, as a climber, is immense; I had a free-standing Crepuscule that was approx. 7-8' tall and 9-10' wide after 6 or 7 years in the ground, at which point I lost it to oak root fungus. The edges of the blooms would crisp on hot days, but there were always a bunch of new blooms opening, so it looked reasonably good even in heat waves. A touch of mildew in the spring, maybe, but very clean foliage overall. It's a wonderful rose. Alliance Franco-Russe held prime real estate here for over 6 years but literally never, during that entire time, was without severe mildew, even in late summer when even the roses most prone to it usually shake it off, if only briefly. It's now gone and I don't miss it. Lux, your Etoile de Lyon doesn't get the "brown ruff"? The Australian tea book notes that it happens for EdL, too. Here both EdL and Souvenir de Pierre Notting get it (EdL worse than SdPN, actually), but usually only during their first flush and maybe late, late in the fall. I have attributed it to the conditions being both damp and cool then, not heat, because flushes later in the summer on both generally have very little browning of the outer petals (even with dew in the morning) and produce the best flowers. (photos of them below were taken this morning). I wasn't all that impressed with Souvenir de Pierre Notting, either, until this year. The bush has finally filled in well and the flushes have gone from desultory and meager to substantial. I haven't been treating it any differently -- I think it's just reached a level of maturity that allows better blooms. My Celine Forestier is definitely yellow. In the photo taken this morning (below) there's a slight pinkish cast that happens later in the season; the first flush is generally pure pale yellow and flowers 5" across that look like pom-poms (later-season flowers smaller). Ingrid, I'm curious to know what color was yours? Souvenir de Pierre Notting: Etoile de Lyon: Celine Forestier:...See MoreLooking for a pink/yellow rose, suggestions?
Comments (22)Irisgal, I'm a Sheila's Garden grower who will rave about her! What a beauty! I admit I almost sp'd her after last season, the first year I planted it. I was getting small flowers of insipid color. But boy, am I glad I waited! This year I got large, dark green, glossy leaves, long thick stems, humongous buds that just grew and grew til they finally started to unfurl - into the most beautiful, long-lasting flowers with just lovely form. I think that the gorgeous, large blooms are really more hybrid tea-like than floribunda. I tend to get very long stems of big individual blossoms rather than sprays. I had two really nice blooms I brought to a recent show, and in my rush to prepare as many as possible I entered the slightly lesser of the two. She still got a blue ribbon, and could have easily won the floribunda class. The bloom I meant to enter ended up as the center flower of an arrangement I brought home, and it lasted a week looking fresh and beautiful. It's also very disease resistant in my highly blackspot-prone area. I can't rave enough about this rose, it's a keeper for me. My late spring blooms were yellow with well-defined fushia pink edges. In the heat the deep pink tones will blend further into the center. Oh, and those Granadas are lovely too!...See Moresusan4952

10 years agoWell ladies, here it is. I found someone who got the Julia Child for me and while I find a spot that is 'perfect' for it blooms just keep appearing. Wanted to thank you all for your input and help. I'm going to try to add a Nacodoches to the landscape in the future if I can find one - it was awfully good looking, too. I realize it's not the best time to plant a rose in the southeast, but I'll give it all the attention it needs and make sure it pulls through the worst of the summer.
(Mom got one, too, and I get repeated calls about how pleased she is.)
Thank you again,
Ging
