A hardy, tall, constantly blooming pink climbing rose for 5b?
Comments (15)Your hampered by a few things...Cold, Climate, Choice , Colour and Rebloom. There is no such thing as a "continous" blooming rose, with much pampering you might get a repeat blooming rose to hold a few buds all summer. But most roses kind of bloom in flushes. 1. Your in a zone 5b, not all zone 5s are created equal, but out of your list, only 3 roses would thrive here. a. John Davis, is more of a big bush then something throwing out huge canes, it will get to about 8 feet tall or so with support, the flower are nice however, I like this rose alot. b. Viking Queen, aka Isabell Skinner, Ive seen this rose to about 9 feet somewhere here, in fact I might get this rose this year, I havent decided yet. C. The fairy, will not climb here, it may get to be a fairly large relax bush over time, and if it doesnt get to crazy cold for the winter. Everything else on your list wouldnt thrive here, some would die, some would survive to grow and have a few blooms. The largest climber I grow is baltimore belle, white with sometimes pink undertones, but its a once blooming rambler. However, if people in your area can grow awakening, or new dawn, that probable fits your bill more then the other roses listed. Both of those would just die back here near the ground every year. Ive known people who bought Eden rose here, Ive NEVER seen it survive though. Ive seen a William Baffin make it to about 20 feet once, but not sure you want a hot pink , semi double rose. Its not a rose for everyone, but I wish more poeple would play with its genetics and produce tall, healthy, hardy roses for the north. Here is a picture of William on a 12 foot arch in a new ulm garden in MN.. they put Alot of work chopping this monster to make it grow like this.

Comments (3)Dear Westley Butterflies and esteemed members, After more than 5 years, I am pretty sure that the pink blend rose is the white sport of âÂÂMadame Caroline TestoutâÂÂ, HT âÂÂAdmiral Duweyâ (1899). Although I have just received some pictures from the Sangerhausen, they were enough for me to identify my unknown rose as this old âÂÂMadame Caroline Testoutâ white sport. I would possibly discard some other related roses, such as âÂÂFrau Dr. Krügerâ since it has golden-yellow undertones, borne mostly solitary and occasional repeat later in the season. My rose does not have golden-yellow undertones, usually blooms in clusters and has a profuse fall bloom. HT âÂÂGrossherzogin Victoria Melittaâ has white or white blend flowers with a yellow center and a strong fragrance, while the unknown rose has not any yellow coloring and none to mild fragrance. âÂÂMme Gustave Metzâ could have been another possibility but it is too pink, at least in my humble opinion. Furthermore, it has a long pointed form while the unknown rose is more globular. âÂÂLa Favouriteâ was also a globular HP, related with âÂÂMme. Caroline Testoutâ and its descendants, with globular form and it is a good fall bloomer (like my rose), but it has a deep rose color that turns soft pink as the rose ages. Having said that, I am quite sure that the found rose from that old garden in BA is HT âÂÂAdmiral Duweyâ (John H. Taylor, 1899), although some more pictures would help me to confirm this properly. Any contribution would be highly appreciated. Greetings from Buenos Aires!...See MorePink and/or Crimson Climbing rose for balustrade
Comments (11)About to suggest Viking Queen, but see you've already ordered it for an arbor. Believe it would be lovely on your balustrade. www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=2.6064.0&tab=1 Rosarium Uetersen aka Seminole Wind might be another pink climber to consider. www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.5462.3&tab=1 Both grow easily in this no spray hot & humid growing season garden just a zone higher than yours. For the reds, look into Fields of the Wood/Rhode Island Red www.helpmefind.com/rose/pl.php?n=5204&tab=1 and Illusion www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=2.3368.0&tab=1 I've not grown these, but others speak highly of both. When checking a rose on HelpMeFind, pay more attention to Member Ratings & Comments (including those with the Photos) than the Description page, since you'll often find a rose described as having "scattered later bloom" rated Excellent on that score by members. Your garden setting sounds enchanting. Welcome to the forums!...See MoreThree Rogue Valley pink mystery roses to ID
Comments (11)Jane - thanks for the tip about Therese Bugnet. Mine bloomed for the first time this year, and they look a good bit different from mystery #3. I checked and to my surprise, the canes are pretty smooth throughout the length, which I'd never noticed before. Here's a sample Therese bloom - she is nicely fragrant but she seems too double to be #3 and too dark pink to be #1, not to mention that little stripe on the petals: I do have an additional photo of pink rose #2, which is my biggest puzzle. It is looking very double with Austin-like clustering and cupping of petals. Sorry the picture is a bit blurred, but you can see how double it is, and it's more of a carnation pink than the hot pink of the others. It's looking like a dead ringer for Blessed Child if it had more fragrance, though Emmanuela de Mouchy is a possible one though it looks a little darker pink especially on the reverse, and it's supposed to be fragrant too. If it is an Austin, Geoff Hamilton is a definite possibility, but it's supposed to be thornless and this is the one with thorns. If it had more fragrance, I could go with Mme. Ernest Calvat, but this mystery one is pretty dead to my nose. Radio Times would also be an option, if it had more fragrance. So my best guesses would all be fragrant or thornless from the Rogue Valley roses so far, and that doesn't yet fit this rose. Of course, I might not be able to smell the fragrance, but I'm usually pretty good with Austins and Hybrid Perpetuals and Bourbons. I think my working guess is Blessed Child with fragrance I can't detect, but I'd welcome other ideas! Cynthia...See Moremustbnuts zone 9 sunset 9
