I read earlier this year about an invisible trellis where you screw eyes into the surface 12 or 18" apart and then tie your rose to it. This can also be used for clematis except in that case since the stems are more fragile, fine wire can be attached to run from eye to eye for the clematis to attach to.

Wow! I knew New Dawn could get big, but my goodness!!! As for the color clashing, you're probably right. I was thinking more along the lines of if the blooms were extremely light, near white, but considering it doesn't get that much sun, I'm doubting the blooms would fade to white. All in all, I think I'll leave the New Dawn by itself. ;) And thanks for the tip about it tolerating that little direct sun. I knew it was shade tolerant, but I was thinking it might need at least 4 hours or more. Hopefully she'll put on some good growth for me next year. Cause she doesn't want to do anything in this crazy heat. And I don't blame her. One other thing - how long should I wait to take a cutting from her? Would it hurt to take one now, or should I wait until next year, after she puts on some more growth? Thanks! :)

I grow Pascali and I would pass on it if I were to buy it again. I am more soft-hearted than some people on here and I generally don't kill plants that I picked out and brought home with me (with a few exceptions). For me, it's a large rose with a lot of flowers but it is slow to repeat and the flowers are just too, too small. I don't find any redeeming quality about it other than it's a white HT (which is what I wanted). I wish I would have gone with another rose instead - maybe Karen Blixen or something. If I wanted small roses I would grow Iceberg and then I'd have zillions all summer long instead of a dozen three times per year. Pass.

I would post that question over on the rose forum - I am pretty sure they wouldn't thrive well here, but I could very well be wrong :) The rose folks are VERY nice and helpful, just tell them what zone you are in and where exactly you are planning on planting it. Good Luck! They are a gorgeous rose! -Marie
