i'm in st louis, mo. i know it's pretty invasive. i had some at another location between the sidewalk & curb where it had set boundaries. it grew into mounds & completely covered shrubs, flowers, fire hydrant, stray animals..........i have a spot with erosion problems & have no worries about it's invasive nature.

The first 2 pics look like an Agrimonia species. I don't know what you'd find in your region. Which is where? Pic 2 shows the fruit of a dodder species. Cuscuta, a parasitic vining plant. Again I don't know which ones you might have where you are. 3 looks like a Bidens species. Same level of ignorance applies.

Check out Canadian Explorer roses…..they come in different colors and have climbing varieties. We’re not quite there yet but I think that’s what we’ll try, and these are said be very hardy.

Looks like your neighbors let you do all the work. I guess because you do good work!

Wow!! What a display! Gorgeous roses and fabulous VIEW. That should go in the real estate description if they sell the house.

Thank you, each and everyone for your kind compliments. This rose was really so slow that it only threw up two canes the first season and they were only about 3-4 feet tall and then the next season it seemed to sit there and by summer's end it was really going wild and now it is full grown (I hope).

I'm sorry. No, it's a noisette, Aliser Stella Gray and the pinkish one about to bloom is Zephrine Drouhin and to the left what you cannot see is New Dawn and the rose coming through the wooden fence is Lady Devoniensis. There are actually about four roses there, but only one is really blooming, the early bloomer, Alister Stella Gray; the others bloomed 2-3 weeks later, so they are all blooming together at some point but I did not get a picture of that. Actually this picture was made by someone touring the garden and given to me. Thank you. I do grow three Golden Celebrations, however, not in this picture.
