I'm not sure how our zones compare, but I'm growing Viking Queen and she seems to love the heat and can take the cold. Perhaps you could also look at spray Cecile Brunner for a light coloured very fragrant rose, but the blooms are tiny. What about Nahema? I really think a dark red would look stunning on the fence and contrast with the fuschia flowers.

Could you tell us a bit more about your climate. I know that everyones weather has changed some with global warming. Some parts of Korea have quite cold winters that would make a big difference for climbing roses.

Hi veporvac! I'm currently taking a trip to the city and cannot look into the roses you recommended. But i will surely check them out and right anothe replay. Thanks for all the suggestions

Thanks patty, yes i do indeed live in the colder climate in south korea. Summers are hot and humid. Goes up to 100°f winter is getting much more mild by the year. But im expecting a harsh winter this year because of the La Ninya -im not sure if i got the spellings right. Hydrangeas survive the winter in our climate but do not bloom even with protection. Most lacecap hydrangeas do survive and bloom without winter protection -i hope this gives you an idea? My soil is clay. But not alkaline. Thanks for your considerate reply

dear verpovac, I have checked the roses you have recommended, and they are all beautiful. I think I'd go for Viking Queen if I could get hold of it. Sounds great, it takes both heat and cold well, little BS problems. continuous beutiful blooms, all I can ask for a rose. Ceclie Brunner doesn't seem like the rose for me but Nahema looks absolutely stunning! The only reason that I'd go for Viking Queen is becuase it sounds like it would this climate much better. Thanks for the recommendation.

and what you presume and fuschias are actually perennial phlox. I'm not sure how fuschias perform in Korea, but I orderd some seeds just to try out. I think once I get all the larger plans sorted out, I'll move aroud the phlox and plant something else there. There is another arch to the right of the fence and that's where I'm planning to plant Red Eden. - the only red climbing rose that I found good enough to plant in my garden. I know there's so much more out there, but not in Korea.

Again, thanks for the recommendation.

South Korea is one of the top fur buyers just behind China, so it must be cold there in northern part of country. What's your coldest temp over there? We can get to -10F (-23C) in zone 6a. Is your area colder than here? In my garden, America cl didn't make through the winter. Pretty In Pink Eden is also a pretty rose.

Dear Dave,

Thanks, I do think full sun is not an option in S.Korea. The Austin roses performs best are planted where it get's only 2~3 hours of sunlight. The only rose I have planted in full sun is barock, and the small blooms it shows blooms in a boring orange instead of the aprocot pink it's supposed to.

Thanks for the information about the Edens. I suppose I shall have to expect some balling as well becuase we do too have rainy summers in Korea.

Dear Summersrhythm,

Yes, I suppose we do. Although I do think Russia should be the top buyer if it's becuase of the cold. Thats where we get the dry and harsh freezing breeze from every winter. It' is cold here, but I have to admit, some people still believe it's a luxurious item to obtain. Trousers do freeze and pinch the bare leg underneath, but I think the winter is getting mild by the year and I suppose now our winter is not as harsh as it used to. I think it's similar to your climate now. -23C is just about what I am expecting.

Did you protect your America for winter? From what I gather it performs best in full sun -just what I needed. We always do protect our roses since the wind is dry and harsh - just what roses hate most in inters.

Your climate should be fairly closer to England, except for a little drier in and colder? All my Austins get full sun here in NJ where the climate are more extreme (hot in summer and cold in winter). You should be fine. I only have white Eden. It takes years to get going, but what a beauty!

Dear farmerduck,

I've been fortunate enough to have lived in both locations. Coincidentally, thouse are the only two locations I ever lived out side of Korea. I have to say, my climate is much closer to NJ than that of england. Although the winters are not as harsh as it used to be and summers much more humid. Thanks for the information. I feel much comfortable now knowing that Eden performs well in NJ. I'm well prepared to wait. just to see it take my breath away!
