Rose suggestions for HOT sun against brick wall
Comments (6)Hoovb -- I love Mutabilis, but it may be a bit too "open" for that situation. Having lost several roses to cane-burn, we selected 'Louis Phillipe' for one of those spots, simply because it was heavily-foliaged. That has succeeded so well that the bush is a monster. It LOVES it there. We have succeeded with "Grandmother's Hat" in another area, by placing old latticework panels behind the plant, which moderated the bounced-back heat. BUT our climate is a LOT LOT cooler than any location I can think of in a Texas summer. Jeri...See MoreLady Banks Rose in Full Sun / Tall Privacy Hedge
Comments (6)I love Lady Banks rose too. I had one at my last Scottsdale garden in full bore sun and it was fine--it loved it. Let us know if you give it a try and how it works out. Like the others mentioned, it will need help sticking to/climbing a block wall (you can use those small adhesive dots which stick to the wall and then tie the major canes to those, or you can put up thick wire (with space between the wire and the wall); anything that will help the roses climb. If you're still looking for options, good old hopseed (Dodonea) is an option. It will become a very tall dense hedge and is very low water once established (give it a good drink twice a week its first summer or even longer if you want it to continue growing quickly). With extra water it grows fast, and then if you ease it back to little water over a long period of time the growth will slow down and be more compact/durable. Just a thought. Keep us posted! Take care, Grant By the way, I'm sure most everyone knows that the largest single rose plant in the world is here in Arizona: the so-called Tombstone rose in Tombstone AZ (you have to pay a small fee to see it and they do sell rooted cuttings of it, though you can buy the same type of plant almost anywhere here). It's a white flowered Lady Banks rose. Talk about a house eater! I love them. Here is a link that might be useful: Tombstone Rose...See MoreNon-Invasive Climbing Vine for Full Sun?
Comments (6)Native coral honeysuckle (lonicera sempervirens) has become one of our favorites for fences. Improved cultivars are available in (at least) red, orange, and yellow. Fairly quick growing, but stays in its place. Photo shows a 'Major Wheeler' in early bloom started from a 4" pot two years ago on an unshaded east facing fence. It's now covering about 6 ft x 6ft, but will need a couple more years to build that nice looking density and a bit more width across the top. Big flush of blooms in the spring, with minor repeats throughout the summer. Semi-evergreen in mild winters, but cannot hold onto its leaves into low teen temps like crossvine....See MoreFast growing rose for white picket fence, full sun.
Comments (45)https://www.houzz.com/photos/garden-spaces-traditional-landscape-new-york-phvw-vp~3417617 That photo has been shown several times as the classic white picket fence with pink (Heritage) roses. https://www.houzz.com/photos/family-pool-traditional-landscape-manchester-phvw-vp~100429 There is another beautiful bed with a white picket fence. I would take the person's advice and not wind the roses through the fence as it does make it a problem for pruning. I have had my vinyl fence for probably 10 years and it never needs anything done to it other than a good scrubbing in the spring. A small shrub rose planted in intervals would work great. Roses can sometimes have "naked knees" during the summer months so planting other plants around them will help to hide those times. Another pretty rose would be Pretty Jessica or if you want a deeper pink/red, Munstead Wood also would work (I think--I am in a very different plant zone than you are). This is Munstead looking rather pink on that hot summer day. In cooler weather he is almost a velvet deep burgandy red. A very young Pretty Jessica--not the best picture of her...See Morejerijen
