Climbing Pinkie should cascade for you, and Sweet Chariot is absolutely made for this situation, would be a nice accent as it is a blend of pink/mauve. Can't wait to hear what suggestion people have for you, as I feel sure some of the noisettes would do well in this situation too. I am growing Sea Foam in a raised bed, but the canes are quite stiff; it is completely flat to the ground, looks like I pegged it. Some roses, like Alba Meidiland, will cascade down the wall and then take root at the base of the wall & keep right on truckin'!!

I looked up some cold hardy roses for you, that could be used to drape over a wall, that are in commerce this week. These roses are available at hortico.com, as of Oct 14, 2014 I would just plant the larger climbers, such as A.S.Gray further away from the wall, allowing them to grow as a shrub and then drape over the wall, ; all of these re-bloom; -Alister Stella Gray' a beautiful small flowered Noisette. One of my favorite roses. A friend used 'Alister Stella Gray' to make her bridal coronet. She had more than 200 other roses to choose from our garden, but this one won her heart. hortico.com lists this as hardy to zone 5, which surprised me, but their company is in Canada so I would expect them to have a lot of experience with roses that are cold hardy. -'Blossomtime' zone 5, I grow this both as a climber and a shrub, the shrub grown one naturally sends out longer canes that droop down at the ends covered with fragrant pink blooms. (I prune the climber in a columnar shape) Because the roses bloom in small clusters with side buds, each bloom cycle is extended. Very fragrant. When I bring mixed rose bouquets to my friends they almost always ask "What's this rose?" -Golden Showers' zone 3, artless golden yellow roses. -Lichtkonigen Lucia' zone 5 (Lucia, saint of light, a saint popular in Scandinavia) beautiful shapely yellow roses. grows to be c. 8 feet tall here, near san francisco california Good luck choosing a rose that you will love for many years, Luxrosa

Has anyone had this red climber? Im debating between Don Juan and Crimson Cascade.. Hoping for more disease resistance between the two and blooms

Hi jdbheartease! I have 3 red cascade roses that have almost formed a hedge. When I planted them in March 2011, they were about 6" tall, and now they have grown up a 3' metal support and cascade down another 6-8 feet. Other than putting in the supports, they have been completely care free! I will look for baby plants for you and let you know what I find. Email me a reminder please! Jeri
