I've been told ZD just isn't a California girl. Unfortunately, I got that advice AFTER I planted mine. It's the only plant with powdery mildew in my garden right now. Not a lot - and it has some scattered blooms now too - but enough to remind me that this isn't its favorite place. Some springs it manages to develop PM, rust and a scattering of blackspot all at once. So, it's not only you who can't get it to be healthy. Why do I still have it? I'm lazy about removing big roses, and it still produces a nice, occasionally spectacular, display every spring (if you don't demand perfect foliage). I wouldn't put Mme Caroline Testout (CL) in any place that I had to walk through or train those incredibly thorny canes. We grow it in the cemetery as a big arching bush, and still hate getting near it for its infrequent pruning. We don't get a lot of repeat on it, either. What about training a pillar rose? I know that not everybody will agree, but Mme Isaac Perrier stays quite healthy in the Sacramento cemetery and reblooms well, too - and is incredibly fragrant. I have a friend who is growing it on a trellis on his house, and it produces ten foot canes when trained up. He also has Gertrude Jekyll on a trellis, another lanky large plant with deep pink, fragrant flwers that I think does better either whacked hard or pillared/trellised. If you have room, you could put another small shrubby repeat blooming rose at the base, the way that Paul Zimmerman recommends on his video. Pillared and climbing roses often are bare on the bottom third or half of an arbor. Many climbers are really too big for the usual garden arbor. I have 8' tall ones with a five foot opening, and three foot sides. They were considered the "big arbors" when I bought them but are overwhelmed by most climbing roses. That's another reason to consider a pillar rose. Anita

For me, Mme. Isaac Periere is a gorgeous but once blooming rose in zone 5. I'll get the occasional single flower later in spring, but some years if I don't have any surviving cane I don't get any bloom at all. Most years there has been surviving cane as much as you see here - this also addresses the question of whether MIP can get to 6' or better in our zones. This shepherd's hook is a little over 5' and MIP is eating it for lunch even before it gets started. All those curvy bits are MIP, though there are obviously other roses in the background. It may not be fully hardy to cover a complete arch, but it easily gets 6' or more in a season. Here's MIP with some clematis - I find that most clematis are coinciding rather than alternating with the June rose flush, so I don't know how well most clematis would fill the gap after a once bloomer. Other OGRs that tend to be once bloomers for me include Madame Alfred Carriere (who also only blooms on old wood and is iffy in zone 5) or Reine des Violettes. Yes, RdV is supposed to be a repeat bloomer but a sizable number of the RdV plants sold by good companies are imposters that are a very similar bloom but only a once-bloomer. It's rock solid hardy though and mine combines nicely with clematis, and in this case RdV seems to bloom before the clematis you can see leafing up at the bottom. Rosarium Uetersen is a very hardy climber in zone 5 and I only get one or two bloom cycles from that one. It's a coral color that would want a purple clematis partner rather than one with pink emphasis, I think, in case they overlapped. Mine grows sideways on a low fence but is easily 6-8'. Felix LeClerc is an incredibly hardy climber that has a surprisingly long bloom period, and is almost always among the first roses to bloom in the spring. It took many years before it repeated much, but it does so off and on well into July now, starting in May sometime. It's a good 8-10' tall, here trying to grow toward the 6' fence. As mentioned, Quadra is a very hardy climber, but it would absolutely demolish a 6' trellis. Frankly, any of the nicely hardy Canadians get bigger than a 6' trellis would support. This is an 8'+ arch and it only barely contains Quadra - I tried him as a self-supporting bush and the blood loss involved in training him to this arch wasn't pretty. I think Christopher and Lilyfinch are right in cautioning you not to really plan on a climber for your 6' trellis but instead a tall rose that can support itself with a little support to gently encourage it to stay upright. Most of the self-standing trellises would be mangled and toppled quickly by any self-respecting climber that actually climbs in our zones. You might consider a well-mannered once-blooming gallica like the lovely peach colored Marianne or the dark purple Umbra that can support themselves but appreciate something to anchor themselves. You could also think about a hybrid musk that gets fairly good sized and letting that ramble up the arch. Wilhelm is the same color as Quadra but doesn't get as big and is only semidouble. He's tucked a little into the back of this shot with other hybrid musks - in the front are Heavenly Pink, Guirlande d'Amour, and a little of Cornelia. In the back is a freestanding Darlow's Enigma that gets a good 8' self standing, is rock solid hardy, blooms all season and could both appreciate the trellis support and help provide some structure to let a clematis ramble up the branches. the light colors of any of these roses would complement a clematis well too. Hope this gives you an idea. You might reconsider a climber and instead look for a flexible caned rose to attach to the trellis, or a 6-8' freestanding bush that could stand behind the trellis that you'd use for the clematis.

I feel your pain, Rehka! Houston is a challenging rose climate. Hot and humid punctuated by surprise attacks of hail, Blue Northerns, hurricanes, floods and tornadoes! I grew up in Dallas but visited Houston off and on...(dramatic music)...in the summer. I also feel your husband's pain: Asian jasmine and trumpet vine in TX. A patch of neglected Asian jasmine once ripped off the bathroom window screen at my sister's house in Dallas! I think the hardy jasmine you mentioned might be Trachelospermum jasminoides, star jasmine? If so, I applaud you 100%! That's a great go-to fragrant vine for much of TX. I sent my mom a rooted cutting of Zeph for her Dallas garden, and it grew well there. I think Mom's rose lost about 50%-60% of its leaves during the hottest part of the year, but Zeph was pretty darn healthy (no spray except Safer fungicide) and grew fresh leaves when the temps cooled. Mom planted her Zeph in half day sun and grew a vine through the canes. Zeph rests for a longer summer stretch without blooming in TX, and your climate is getting hotter, so I agree that selecting a cultivar with more continuous bloom and foliage cover might be a wise choice for your preferences.. With training, Blush Noisette makes a charming, continuously blooming climber up to about 8' or so. It works well on an arch when 2 are planted, one on each side. The fragrance positively WAFTS in the evening. Humidity contributes to wafting so maybe BN is worth considering for Houston? For a large pergola, I'd plant a BN on one side and a yellow or white Lady Banks on the other. I'd train the Lady Banks up one side and across the top for a magnificent spring show with BN to carry on later in the season. Antique Rose Emporium sells both, but sometimes you have to jump in at the starting gate of restocking. They're popular! I'd call ARE and ask about blackspot tendencies in your area, and check on BN's resistance as well as inquiring about other Noisette possibilities. I'm a big fan of the fragrant, glorious Noisettes but only grow BN and MAC here in Portland. I've never grown Renae but have heard great things about it. I have a couple of baby Annie Laurie McDowells in my driveway pot nursery and am super excited about their inclusion in my garden! If you can get a ALM, and Kim Rupert gives it a thumbs up for your area and pergola, I'd absolutely hold out for her. The photos I've seen are breathtaking! Pure romance. Carol
