Climbing rose for the side of a house
Comments (2)Maigold looks gorgeous but probably won't grow in my region. I'm thinking about Quadra because it's such a vigorous climber and I want something cane-hardy so that it will get big enough to cover the house. What I really want to know is weather or not this is a reasonable possibility. Most nurseries list it (and pretty much all other climbers) as topping out around 12'. Is this true? I've seen several pictures of Quadra that look like it's growing much higher....See MoreRoses and Windows
Comments (16)*sigh* the pictures are so beautiful! I am just now starting to plan my rose gardens at new home. I have lots of room, a million ideas, and a great imagination! In my mind, my roses look like the ones you all posted. I am getting my first climber today, its New Dawn. I have looked out the front door all day waiting for the UPS guy. If anyone has any more pics of arbors or supports please send some pictures. I need ideas! Julie...See MoreClimbing roses next to house foundation preparation

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 Morelucretia1
