Comments (4)I have native blue clemantis. I garden at Lake Belton/Morgan's Point Resort. Are you close enough for physical trade or is mailing the sole option? I also have lady banksia and love it. But I will send clemantis for SASE if that is only plant you have for trade. Thanks....See MoreHave-White climbing rose(Lady Banks possibly)rooted
Comments (2)I have Burning Bush I can dig up and send. Are you interested in that? I have tried rose clippings and never have any luck so am wanting to try rooted starts. Thank you Sharon Cash~Gold Trader (on PlantSwap) Zone 7...See MoreIs White Lady Banks Good For Climbing Into Trees?
Comments (7)Here it is at Quarryhill Botanical Garden, going up in a tree quite nicely, don't you think? I don't seem to have a picture of the Banksiae banksiae (white double) from the cemetery - but I have several others. Here is Banskiae normalis, the single version, going astonishingly up a 50-ft pine tree - And the yellow double Banksiae lutea - All of those clamber up the tree without any help from us. We love them all. We have several other Banks roses - Fortuniana, Purezza, Vina Banks (a unique hybrid that was found north of Sacramento), and the single, yellow Banksiae lutescens, shown in the two photos below. Thanks to Sue for teaching me how to load photos! Anita...See MoreLady Bank Roses - thorns
Comments (16)Yes I totally get it with privacy issues! There is a thread here about Lady Banks doing very well in a parking lot where they hedge trim regularly and it bloomed every spring. So either they just don’t trim in the winter since it doesn’t grow much then or maybe they cut off some potential blooms but not all of them. I think the key to them looking good was very regular hedging though, which means over time lots more shoots sprout but since more of them they don’t throw 12 foot canes or maybe they try but trimming regularly nips them back before they start....See Morenoseometer...(7A, SZ10, Albuquerque)
