Climbing Rose that Blooms on New Wood? & Roses for part shade
Comments (11)Thanks Dan for the info, unfortunatly, blaze and new dawn both bloom on old wood. Golden Showers looks like a nice hardy climber though, and it blooms on new and old wood. Not sure if I would want yellow though- If anyone else has a few more suggestions for a new wood blooming climbing rose? I have been seeing "Shade Tolerant" in the descriptions of some roses (including the Golden Showers) and I figured that would mean they can withstand part shade. I was hoping this meant it could still do well with 3/4 hours of direct sun a day- can anyone clear this up for me? How tolerant is "shade tolerant" when it comes to roses? And of course, if anyone is growing a rose bush/climber/polyantha in part sun, I would love to know which kind it is. Thanks!...See Morehave 1 climbing rose blooms red clusters of small roses

Comments (44)Defoliating a huge climbing rose is indeed a daunting prospect. However this year's cold snap in February (late for here) seems to have done it for me,and it does seem that both Clbg. Old Blush and Souv. de Mme. L. Viennot derived health benefits from losing those "zombie leaves". I could indeed see trying to find a way to defoliate especially Clbg Old Blush in the future, becuase i so love this rose's early spring flush, but the aftermath is always rather ghastly for a time as the rose drops everything in exhaustion , and tends to be covered in rather sever p-mildew. Paul Zimmerman's idea is good, but I do wonder: since I would be wanting to defoliate in winter, would the sun be strong enough to burn off the zombie leaves? And, no, I guess would not want to kill off new budeyes -or would I? because Clbg. OB IS a China. In my climate I suspect that, since it can't rest completely during winter by going dormant,it just is exhausted by June. It is too big to defoliate manually......See MoreWesterland Climbing Rose is not blooming, not growing much
Comments (11)Any procedure that places a plant within a small area of one soil texture surrounded by a much larger area of different texture can and often does result in the movement of water into and out of the small area being adversely affected. All that is necessary for this water related issue to occur is that there be a difference in textures between the small amended area and the larger, unaltered area around it. Slower establishment of plants placed in amended planting holes began to be noticed by accident at the university level in the 1960s. Multiple subsequent organized trials exploring this aspect intentionally have had consistent recurring outcomes. Amending of large areas - while avoiding the water movement problem except at the edges of the beds - for woody and other long term plants still has the problem of any organic materials used decomposing and disappearing long before the typical intended life of the planting is over. So that the original planting might as well have been made into loosened existing soil, without the addition of amendments.
