Oooh more possibilities. I got back a sizeable tax refund and am trying to be responsible. My old abused Shih tzu from a puppy mill has to have an eye removed because of untreated glaucoma and that's going to be over a thousand! Her "good eye" cost us $250 the other because her daughter was playing with mom and poked her in it (she arrived here pregnant at 13! :( ) Hubby is still out of work...sigh. Gardening for me is therapy and I've bought quite a few roses this year. My depression pretty much killed a lot of them over the last couple of years...double sigh... I want to put at least one climber at the end of the deck so I can enjoy them close up. I'd love one that is VERY fragrant, gets at least 12' tall as our deck is raised and blooms all summer and is really bushy, color is not a concern as it will be all by its little self. I'm going to do some more research. Thank you so much for all the input. I just love coming here because of the willingness...no...eagerness to help out if asked. Peace, Jane and the Gang

So many helpful & descriptive responses! From what almost everyone says about Crepuscule, it seems to be the perfect rose, fragrant, constant bloomer, almost thornless, disease resistant.. what more can you ask for?! I decided that this one would be my first climbing purchase ever, and I found a website through "Dave's Garden" for a nursery called Niche Gardens, which had it in stock in 1 gallon containers. I am excited to see how it does, however now I have all these other amazing suggestions to consider as my second and third climbing roses. I think I will put in an order at RU for the cl. Lady Hillingdon for next year because I just cannot get over the beauty in all the photos I have seen & I must give that rose a try. Reve D'Or looks very intriguing as well, it seems to have as good of a repeat as Crepuscle, with a softer yellow/apricot coloring that looks almost ivory.. very lovely. Buff Beauty looks lovely as well but I am not sure that I will have room for another rose that gets huge, I am sure Crepuscle will give me a run for my money in the garden space department in a few years. Kingcobb, I know that Don Juan is a red, but since everyone seems to comment that he is so fragrant & such a heavy bloomer I think I may have to add it to my ever increasing "find a place for this rose" list. I think it would add some nice contrast to all this yellow/apricot. I actually already have a rose that I have decided must be Teasing Georgia, I bought it cheap as an unlabeled, abused little thing from the "alley of impending doom" at my local nursery, and I have been nursing it back to health for a few weeks now. I posted photos of it here and a few helpful members have convinced me it is probably a Teasing Georgia. So if I can get it looking good and strong again, there is another climber for me to play around with! I'll link that post at the bottom. Has anyone had any experience growing Pat Austin as a climber? I saw an image of it on this site somewhere and it was jaw-dropping, it finally made her "weak necks" seem like a good thing, because she looks beautiful from below. Thanks again all! Jessica.

Well, folks...before I saw all these suggestions, I moved William Allen Richardson to the trellis... I hope he does well there. I will checkout the other suggestions and probably find places for all of them. Royal Sunset is gorgeous. I couldn't find Paname on HMF...I tried two Crepuscules last fall, but they didn't recover from the Easter freeze...I will have this rose one day! Joseph's Coat is a BS magnet for me...but gorgeous. I've got two Cecile Brunners...one climbing a tree and another covering a shed...or at least each is starting to do its job. I've got Alexandre Girault, and it is wonderful. Mine is being trained up a tree. I may need to move my Westerland to a place where it will get watered regularly. I wonder whether the plum trellis can accomodate both William Allen Richardson AND Westerland.... that may be an idea. Westerland is struggling without supplemental water. Autumn Sunset is a beauty too and seems to be doing okay in my rose tunnel, so I don't wanna move that rose. Thanks, Everyone! Robert

Susan, I have the tea-nosiette Pleasant Hill Cemetery that might work. It's been one of my cleanest roses (no spray), always has a bloom or two, has been a robust grower and has very, very pliable canes. This spring the poor thing was still a baby and I hadn't gotten it trained on anything and it was just a heap on the ground covered in small to medium sweet white blooms. I read somewhere that is is extremely easy to root and considering what a pathetic stick it was when it arrived and how it then took off I believe it. You're more than welcome to come down to Franklin and take a cutting of it you want. Here's Vintage's write up on it: Here is a link that might be useful: PHC at Vintage
