Winner's Circle climbing rose - Anyone grow this?
Comments (7)I have it. Received it last summer from Jungs (sp?) I spray with banner max / macoczeb then compass. I had no disease. My neighbors had terrible blackspot etc. I now have buds and if it ever stops pouring and blooms I will post a pic. Actually, that is why I ordered it. Someone posted a pic here. I don't really favor red roses but it was so beautiful I couldn't resist....See MoreAnyone Grow Climbing Pink Pet or Climbing Martha Gonzales?
Comments (10)WOW! Climbing Pinkie sounds very, very nice. I have 2 trellises that have nothing on them right now, because I wasn't sure what would do well in the situation they are located. Maybe you can all help me with that regarding some of these climbers. Both of these structures are in front of my house, but are on the west side, and only about 3 feet out from the house itself. As a result of this, they are shaded by the house until about 1:00 p.m. but then get full sun until sunset. I have Crepuscule in that situation (not knowing any better), and it is growing well with no disease at all. Flowers have been sporadic though, but I just planted it this past spring. I've left the other trellis areas bare because I didn't think any roses would be happy in that situation (not sure if it's enough sun). In the winter months the sunshine is obviously shortened, quite a bit actually, but the rest of the year they would get blasted for several hours. The house is white, so it probably helps reflect some additional light. What do you think? Regarding Martha Gonzales, I've had a couple of them and had the same defoliation cycles. However, she was getting some shaded periods during the day. I have thought about trying her again in a spot that would get sun from sun-up to sunset. I'm wondering if that would make a difference.

Comments (13)Clairtx, that's a beautiful example of what Climbing pinkie can do in the landscape! My climbing pinkie leans on a chain link fence. As you might be able to tell in the photo below, with age, it will develope some fairly stiff canes. However, the young canes are very flexible and very near thornless making it easy to work with. You could drive a heavy piece of rebar into the ground and tie the young canes to it to get it started being a draping pillar rose. The beauty of this rose is that it has so many possibilities for use. Antique rose emporium winds the young canes around and through a cedar rail fence. Roses of this type bloom even more on lateral canes so if you find something to use for attaching it to the fence in an espalier fashion that would be pretty too. It can get to be a big rose, but is not a monster rose in that you can easily get in there to work with it and cut back any canes that are not part of the design you want....See More- 13 years ago
