Help! What Old Rose should I put on my back wall? Pictures Please
Comments (3)I'm sure other people will help you better than me, as I'm a newbie, too... but how many hours of sun do you get there? With most roses you need at least 4 hours, right...? If it gets a small amount of sun, you'll have to go with different varieties that are shade tolerant. What color roses do you like? Do you prefer simple or double blossoms...? (etc...?) Does it need to rebloom? It would also help if you said what zone you live in and what the soil type is perhaps...? :) You might find it fun to search a couple rose sellers that list by type. Like: http://www.roguevalleyroses.com/rose_list.php?search_id=On_Climber_List (though they are west coast.) but it might give you some ideas and you can look at the thumbnail pictures!

Comments (9)We learned two things. 1) We're just not a turkey family. I did a spiral-sliced ham. I just love ham, and DH loves the split-pea soup that will be on the table tomorrow. One son also loves ham. I especially like that it's just more of a reheat deal - no worrying that it will be ready earlier or later than planned. 2) I made roasted potatoes with roasted garlic from a Pioneer Woman recipe. Quartered new red potatoes on a baking sheet interspersed with 6 (yes, 6) heads of garlic with tops lopped off, all drizzled with olive oil along with some salt and pepper. After everything is done, we squeezed the ooey gooey garlicyness around the pan, mixed it up with the potatoes, and wowza! That will be a repeat and not just for holidays. PW's recipe additionally calls for half a cup of white wine to be poured over, but we don't drink white wine and could not justify opening a bottle for half a cup. While I'm sure it's wonderful, I didn't feel that I was missing anything. While there are some traditional things that do reappear each year, I love that our holiday meals evolve, just as we do.

Comments (1)This is not something you'll be able to do all at once. You will never get the old growth to train to the arch now. It's too inflexible. I would start training any of the newer, more bendable canes to begin with. The usual method to renew a climber is to take out 1/3 of the oldest canes a year for three years. Doing this should encourage the rose to put out new basal growth that you can train to the arch while it is still young and flexible. Over the course of the 3 years you will slowly be removing those stiff canes Eventually all of it will be trained to the arch. You do not want to remove all of the old growth at once. That would not be healthy for the rose....See MoreCampanula UK Z8
