You have my sympathies with RRD! Been there. (Actually, more accurately: being there right now...) #1. I recently had to find the answer to question #1 for myself. The answer I received indicated that 99.99% of the time, one year is long enough to wait for replanting in the same spot as far as coming down with RRD again goes, because if the infected rose is going to regenerate from its infected roots, it will almost surely do so within a year. If it does regenerate from its infected roots, of course, any mites in the area would have the capability of passing the infection to the newly planted rose. You don't necessarily have to wait a year, but you are taking a greater risk if you don't wait that long. I'm going to wait a year. #2. I'm not sure about the answer to #2, except that I know the answer is unrelated to Rose Rosette Disease. The potential reason to avoid using the same hole would be a concern for Rose Replant Disease, which sometimes (or maybe even frequently) does occur in England. I don't know whether it happens on this continent or not, or if it does happen whether it happens frequently enough to worry about. If it were actually sometimes a problem here too, two years would be long enough to wait on replanting in the very same hole. But along a fence, you probably could just easily move the new hole over a bit anyway, right? #3. My Cornelia Hybrid Musk, before succumbing to RRD, liked to throw out extremly long canes that were beautifully flexible and had a zillion little stems with buds on them. So I think Cornelia would be nice on a fence, and it's as beautiful a rose as you can imagine. It's also likely to have fewer disease issues than Golden Showers for most people. (However, it appears that you were quite lucky with Golden Showers there, so maybe you might want to think "Don't fix what ain't broke!") Lots of Hybrid Musks might work. Some: Wilhelm, Prosperity, Bubble Bath, Lavender Lassie. Some other possibilities (that I don't have experience with, but have seen recommended by others): Felix Leclerc, Soaring Spirits, Goldfinch, Rosarium Uetersen (Seminole Wind), Abraham Darby. I do have (a new) Climbing Iceberg and that might work well for you, even though it can get blackspot. New Dawn is supposed to be easy to grow, though it does have more thorns than some other choices. Mortimer Sackler ought to work well, as long as you don't count on too much distance (lovely, fragrant, low thorns, healthy). I'll enclose the link to Help Me Find's website so you can search on whatever varieties you might be interested in. Best wishes, Mary Here is a link that might be useful: HelpMeFind rose search

Well fancy that - another vote for Crepuscule from me...if for no other reason than it's colouring...which would fit rather well against those soft brick tones. As a plus, Creps is a very forgiving rose with a generous framework which will loll about, fulsomely, against the brickwork while obligingly hurling out a few nice flexible canes to extend it's presence. Not sure what you mean by longevity but it is dangerously enthusiastic in my garden, hopefully persisting past the autumn frosts, bravely hanging a few blooms till Xmas...and I have seen a few aging specimens - (benefits from a sporadic bit of brutish hacking every decade or so) but can largely be left alone. However (there is always one of those) I have seen it looking a bit miserable when it is dry at the roots...and it does have a tendency to mildew (but this might not be an issue in Tx) I suspect I would be avoiding some of the more strident pinks or reds, but possibly some of the deeper reds might be good for you - Etoile de Hollande, Guinee - although I am rubbish at any of these which always look spindly, mean and are swinish to grow gracefully. YMMV obs but, having only failed with these climbers (they always look so...precious...and finicky but most of all, sparse), Might also be tempted to tuck a cheerful annual such as mina lobata or the little amber climber - ecremocarpus scaber somewhere while Crepsuscule fills out. If you have a sunny aspect, Gloire de Dijon - rubbish rose for me but well grown in heat it is glorious indeed...and finally, to finish off on another warm apricot note, I would be expecting Ingrid to chime in with praise for climbing Lady Hillingdon.

Looking to grow an easy climbing rose once the metal panels are installed between the stone columns. Anyone have a recommendation? I am in far South Texas near the coast. Zone 9b

I grow Cloud 10 in what is pretty close to full shade, and it does really well. Blooms a lot! I quite like this rose. IMO, white roses look their best in shady spots, in sunny ones they tend (to my eye at least) to sort of wash out. So I was delighted to find one that does so well in a shady spot! It is very modest sized, mine is maybe 9 foot as of now. Though I'm in a much colder zone than you. Darlow's engima and Mme Alfred Carriere are also ok in shade, but not as good as Cloud 10 for me, and of course they get much bigger.
