Pearly Gates by far. I love it!

Crepuscule, Parade, Aloha [this is more of a shrub than a climber] and so far, Brite Eyes, planted last year, is a show off. I am trying lots of new climbers this year - Dixieland Linda, Roberta Bondar, Della Balfour, Compassion, among others.

The thing about climbers is that it can take years for a climber to reach it's full height and it's full bloom power... So even though I have 17 climbers, I can only recommend one at this point, because the others just aren't mature enough yet...

the original Blaze, own root from Heirloom. It blooms from spring until frost. It's truly amazing...

You're right about Blaze. Don Juan, Parade, Ellie Beauvillian, Madame Berard, Cli. Madame Butterfly, William Allen Richardson, Cli. Happy, Red Pendant, Summer Wine.

For us, 'Fourth Of July.'
In coastal Southern CA, it is disease-FREE. It's manageable, fragrant, and blooms generously.

Clearly I have not grown it in a colder climate, but I have been told that it has very good cold-tolerance. And, well, it IS descended in part from the Hybrid Perpetual, 'Ferdinand Pichard.'

Fourth of July, blooms continuously

Dublin Bay, easily. It always has blooms on it and will give you several huge flushes during the growing season. The blooms are very large, pure red, last a long time on the plant, do not fade in the heat and fall cleanly once spent.

Westerland blooms like crazy for me all summer long. I love the thing.

Summer Wine blooms big in the spring and then off and on.

Don Juan 3 gives me very good flushes...I don't grow this but it's constantly in bloom at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens Inspiration a very heavy bloomer

In my Phoenix garden, America is always in bloom, throughout the baking summer. It isn't as tall as the Arbor yet and has very stiff canes.

Altissimo is probably the best I have seen. Go to any public rose gardens in August and you will see which climbing roses keep blooming all summer. If you want a shorter climber, Abraham Darby never stops blooming.

Crepuscule and Colette are my champions and both are disease free in my yard.
Pele also great bloomer but must be sprayed to keep the foliage clean and thrips love the flowers.

Does fourth of July grow quickly or does it take awhile to grow? I like Ramblin Red also so how fast does does this one grow also?? would they look good next to each other??

jess2132000,

Fourth of July grows very quickly and is a great repeater. One of my favorite climbers! I have mine right next to Altissimo, they go together great.

My Fourth of July is a J&P new generation (own-root) rose, planted 2 years ago. It remained a small bush the first year, and started throwing long canes last year. Its about 10 ft high now, but I have to prune and train to keep its width constrained because I am growing in on a pillar.
Here's 1 pic from the first summer, and 2 from last week, so you can see how fast its grown. Its so vigorous that I use much less fertilizer on it than the bush roses. We do have a long growing season though, so it'd probably be slower for you.

My best rebloomers are Fourth of July-really outstanding, Sally Holmes, gorgeous bursts most of the summer, and Dublin Bay-great even when somewhat ignored. J.song
