I have been told that it is difficult to find a Cl Crimson Glory that actually does climb. I do have one that I rooted from one in the garden of an old cottage that was about to be torn down, and it has gone about 15 feet. I agree with you - it is a marvelous rose, and one of my most fragrant. I would just dig a big hole, somewhere where it will get lots of sun, and where there is something to climb on. Then make sure that the sides of the hole are roughed up, so that it does not become a "bathtub", fill it with good soil, and plant the rose. Water it a lot until it starts to put out new growth. If it starts to die back, you may have to prune it severely, so that its roots can catch up to the top growth. I am not an expert at rooting roses - I am sure someone on here can guide you to exact directions, but it can be done. Good Luck! Jackie

Well, I don't know. I looked at both those roses on Help Me Find and I guess it could be. Maybe there was something about the way this GW member grew this rose or pruned it that gave it a little different look to it. And the color of the rose on the arbor seems a little coral to me, but that could just be the camera or the light. Thanks for the help. :-)

We have two Red Cascades. They are DH's favorite rose...so much so that he planted them by the front door, where they promptly overran the front porch rendering entrance impossible. We've planted Red Cascade at two homes now, we also have two Don Juans. A healthy Red Cascade will absolutely envelope Don Juan. They don't require spraying here, they lose a few leaves, but not that many. If you spray at the peak of disease pressure (maybe twice a season here) they stay in the very pink of health. They regrow foliage so fast it doesn't matter one way or the other that I can see.

Has anyone had this red climber? Im debating between Don Juan and Crimson Cascade.. Hoping for more disease resistance between the two and blooms
