suggestions for climbing rose in Northern Maine
Comments (6)Good Morning, Sadly climbing roses that rebloom that are hardy for your zone are few and far between. At 3/4 it makes it next to impossible... there are some of the canadian exploreres that will put on a smattering of bloom after thier first initial blush. Alot of these are lacking the scent department. How big is your space? There is William Baffin, that can get very big, it has semi double blooms of a neon pink variety, some people find it garish.. I do not, I like it. John Davis is another one, more mannerly and will only get to be about 5-6 feet for you in your zone most likely. This one is much more doubled and is a lovely pink hue. Both of these roses are quite desease resistent. You can visit Susanne Webber north creek farm in phippsburb maine, she has some lovely varieties , like Lillian Gibson, this only blooms once, but it is very lovely. Would a large shrub do? Again I dont know your space, but a huge old Alba, that blooms once but has lovely fragrance, is always worth the spot. What color range are you looking for? Im limited in my southern maine zone, and Im in the southernmost county, York. are you somewhere between fort kent and presque isle? Most nurseries in Maine, dont have a clue about roses, and they dont seem to like education on them.. whenever I talk to them its blah blah blah this knockout, that knockout, give the consumer what they want.. no matter that the stupid little knockout is going to die for the vast majority of mainers. Great online source is PICKERING nuseries.. Go there and do some research. They have climbers but ignore 95% of them.. they will not make it for you, they wont even make it for me. North Creek Farms Pickering A great resource tool, just to look at roses is Help Me find .com, but if you want real specifics ask here. Help Me really screws up hardiness ratings, so dont go by that! help me find Silverkelt...See MoreSuggestions on tying climbing roses to siding
Comments (5)I installed a trellis system at my home this weekend for a number of roses that I think might work for you and may provide advantages over what you are considering. I got some heavy duty "crown bolts" (from Home Depot-kind of looks like a question mark without the dot below), and screwed them into the bottom of the fascia board. I then took a piece of corral feedlot fencing panels (these are the rigid panels not the rolls; they are 16 feet long and come in a number of different heights-you can get these at Tractor Supply-around $25-35 each)and simply suspended the panels from 2 of the crown bolts. I cut most of these in half with a hack saw, as I wanted some of them to only suspend downwards 8 feet, but I have 2 that I left full length to support the rose Mermaid that is growing up a wall in a section of our home that is 2 stories high. I then pounded a length of rebar into the ground on either side of the panel and tied the panel to it with baling wire, to prevent the bottom from swinging. If you ever need to paint the house or get behind the trellis, you can simply unhook the panel from the crown bolts and lean it forward. I am making this type of trellis for 2 Marachel Niel plants, 2 Mermaid plants, one Awakening, and one Jaune Desprez. Since these roses are going on to their third season, most of these trellis's may be largely covered at the end of this growing season. These panels are galvanized and durable; I believe these trellis's should last a very long time. For me, this soluton is cheap, fast, and easy....See MoreSuggestions for a Climbing rose for my Archway?
Comments (4)I really like all the suggestions so far. Viking Queen is a lovely colour and a climber which is hardy to my zone is a rare thing! Compassion is an even more spectacular colour, and I like that the descriptions say it bushes out from the base so you get blooms all the way up! Climbing Pinkie also sounds like a great rose, especially the nearly thornless part, which is perfect for an archway over a gate. No comments for Penny Lane or Galway Bay? Not too commonly grown, perhaps? Are there any OGRs that would climb and could survive my zone? I know there are some climbing bourbons, but they seem borderline hardy up here, and the climbing ones are even more delicate (or so I've heard)....See Moresuggestion for yellow climbing rose for zone 5 (Iowa)
Comments (12)HMF has Golden Showers hardy to zone 3. I love this rose. It does get a bit of black spot in the hot humid southeast. But when it blooms, it scents the yard (or in my case porch, since I have it growing up and around my front porch ) which a delicate honey scent. Bright yellow blooms that open fully. I also have Teasing Georgia. Being an Austin, it has the puffy blooms. I'm not sure it would get to climbing status in zone 5 but it's still a very pretty rose. Mine is a monster this year....See Morealameda/zone 8/East Texas
