I planted 2 Raspberry Cream Twirl on my pergola, love them. They have good repeat for me, very healthy foliage & I think the flower is gorgeous.

I have two colette coming from roses unlimited for my arbor ! It was so hard to decide though!

I was considering pearly gates , compassion, Jeanne lajoile , and climbing pinkie. Nahema was another but it was sold out and cool roses never got back to me .

Good luck and do tell what you decide! :)

Thank you both, all are beautiful, not an easy decision.

Thank you Judy! Those are all gorgeous! I have Abe Darby coming from ARE, maybe that's one to consider. I love Eden too, wasn't sure if it had good repeat, apparently yours does.

I am wondering, when you plant roses to grow on an arbor, do you plant one on both sides?

Wow, Judy!! Amazing gardens!!

Just gorgeous , judy ! I may have asked before but is your Eden own root ?

Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos !

Thanks y'all!!

Sara Ann I think last year was the first year they both repeated so good. Usually the first flush last a long time with scattered bloom the rest of the season. I have one rose on each side of all of my arbors but didn't add a second one of both Edens until this year. They get so huge and I was afraid they'd be wat to big but decided to try it and see. The arbors they are on are nice and sturdy. Have fun deciding!!

Lilyfinch I really don't know. I will look tomorrow to see if I see a graft. It's about 5 yrs old and this old brain doesn't remember. I had better pics of it but must have been in the ones I deleted.

Wow incredibly beautiful, Judy! Your garden is so lush and healthy.

I'm interested to know! My Eden is own root , had 4 canes and now is down to 3, about 2 ft tall after winter damage pruning . It looks pretty pitiful . I need to find it grafted . I need my mom to come dig it out like tearing off a bandaid ! I'm afraid to do it .. As if this could be the year it finally does something!

I planted 2 climbers on either side of my arbor, Climbing Pinkie on 1 side, Aloha on the other. Their blooms are nothing alike as Aloha is a much more full petaled and I'm worried it won't look good when they (hopefully) meet each other at the top. They are both beautiful though!

Other successful and non-labor intensive climbers for me are Don Juan, which is lovely and vigorous, Crepuscule which I adore and is very healthy, New Dawn (beautiful but vicious thorns) and Graham Thomas which smells wonderful, cheerful color but the blooms don't last long.

Verdict is still out on Night Owl and Climbing America which is a lovely coral color but hasn't grown super big yet. But this is only the beginning of it's second year. Night Owl only gave 1 bloom last year and has only grown a tiny bit this year. May move it and see if it improves.

Pretty petals (Judy?!) you just knocked my socks of with your garden pics! Whoa! Stunning.

I've always admired Eden but didn't think it repeated. Interesting to see your does!! Such a beautiful rose.

Thanks Ashley. and Karen!! My Eden as well as my sister in laws Eden both repeated great last year. Not sure why but we were beyond happy it did. Yes my name is Judy!

I looked and I don't see a graft. I wish I could remember where I purchased it. I'm thinking Regans if it were online but good gravy I haven't got a clue. I know what you mean about ripping them out but if one really frustrates me then it's a goner!!! My sister in laws took several years to do much which is why I hesitated so long but mine took off its second year so it prob is grafted. Good luck deciding. Judy

Thanks judy !! I might dig it up and move it somewhere I won't care what it does ( but where? ) . I think it's moving on out as well as secret musk climber . And maybe buff beauty. There are just too many great roses out there to be unhappy with these guys . When my chamblees order comes next week and I can see what all I have I'll be out there with my shovel !

You're welcome lilyfinch!!

Have grown all these . All are extremely disease resistant see my Flicker photos. https://www.flickr.com/photos/herblady49/albums/72157623170582559

Wow. That's impressive Cathy!! You grow a lot of climbers. I stress over the few I grow. Couldn't imagine that many climbers to take care. Yours are gorgeous!!! Judy

Thank you, Kathy, very impressive!

I also had Eden. Took a few years to take off but when it did I had more blooms that I knew what to with. I didn't have enough vases! I have grown quite a few climbers and this was the best, blooms all summer.

Judy, I continue to be so impressed by your gorgeous garden (and those structures you grow your roses on, too). You are selling me on Eden, which I know is beautiful, but yours also repeats well--when you find it out, tell us your secret to Eden, please. I'm getting Abe Darby soon, and I'd never thought about using him as a climber, Your Abe's blooms are the loveliest I've ever seen. Can we come and tour your place, please? Diane

Diane I'm not Judy but grew Eden at my old house, it took mine a few years to bloom continually and profusely.

Altorama your blooms are gorgeous. I know what you mean about so many blooms. It knocks my socks off. Maybe I should say my flip flops off. Lol

Diane you're too sweet. You have some of the most beautiful gardens yourself missy. I hesitated ordering Eden for several years and so happy I finally did. I have no secret other than getting my hands on a great rose. It took mine a couple years to get going too and last year is the first year it seemed to bloom almost continually.

We have Hobby Lobby's in every town here and they sell lots of the arbors and pillars and trellis thingies I use. Plus I find lots of iron garden stuff at antique stores. My husband says enuf is enuf though. Lol You are welcome anytime!!! Thanks again!!

Diane and Judy, you both have been an inspiration to me, your roses are amazing! I'll have to check out Hobby Lobby. Hope the ones around here carry that kind of stuff. Altorama, would love to see more of your beautiful roses.

Yes, Judy, thanks for the Hobby Lobby tip. I always forget they have garden structures, as do some other craft stores around here. Thanks for your kind words, but I can't compete with the beauty of your garden. Truly.

Sara-Ann, you grow some amazing roses yourself, and are so very kind to all of us in your compliments. Not to mention adding regularly to the interesting topics discussed on this forum.

Altorama, I meant to mention how beautiful your Eden is. You and Judy are changing my mind about this gorgeous rose. Do you have more photos to share? Diane

Hey Sara Ann. Check out antique stores for structures and I've also ordered some off of Zulily & Joss and Main. Also Plow & Heatth when they run sales. The one from P&H is extremely heavy duty.

I grabbed two Belinda's Dream at Home Depot Sara Ann. They are beautiful. I ordered two earlier from Chamblees but they're still tiny. I couldn't resist these nice beautiful blooms. I hope mine grow as beautiful as yours.

My Abe Darby is really big but doesn't seem to be wanting to climb. It has upright bushy growth but none of the individual octopus climbing branches yet. I trim mine back after flushes to keep them coming though.

Goodness I hope my Eden looks like that someday. I'm still waiting for my first blooms. I have it climbing a trellis and its not that tall yet. Its own root.

Sara-Anne, most of my climbers are once blooming ramblers but I have or had some repeat blooming climbers.

 This is Rosarium Utersen

This is Jazz, VERY vigorous grower

This is Lavender Lassie, it's the lighter colored rose on the right. The one one the left is Veilchenblau, a once bloomer.

These roses were hardy to almost the tip for me. Meaning not a lot of dieback. Just because the rose says hardy to zone 6 doesn't mean it will be tip hardy, and you won't get that height you need.

As for fragrance, Lavender Lassie has a very strong scent. The others had a very slight scent.

Altorama, they're absolutely wonderful! I've been wondering about RU, love yours, Lavender Lassie and Veilchenblau look like great companions, so lovely together! Thank you for sharing.

Wow. Can't wait for my RU to look like that. LL is gorgeous as well. Does it rebloom good? Your roses are gorgeous Altorama. Love the shot of purple roses!!!

Thank you!

The rebloom is better on Rosarium Utersen, it is always in bloom. But Lavender Lassie had decent rebloom.

Sara Ann , did you decide to do an arbor ? If so what did you choose ? I am adding another and am doing my research now . :)

I haven’t yet, I sure would like to at some point. Im going to give it some more thought.

Ok ! I am leaning toward pearly gates mixed with clematis. Or just two clematis. It's hard to decide !

That sounds lovely Lily, Pearly Gates is gorgeous.

I am usually pushing people for using disease resistant roses so I can suggest Amadeus, a red Kordes climber, Golden Gate, a lovely fragrant yellow rose & Jasmina, a Kordes fragrant pink climber. If you consider adding clematis might I suggest a disease resistant bell shaped clematis called Betty Corning that is lightly fragrant.

On the Antique Rose forum Jeri Jennings posted a fabulous picture of Mel's Heritage on an arbor. I'm not sure how it would do in your zone, but where it is happy it is supposed to be a prolific bloomer: [https://www.houzz.com/discussions/mels-heritage-dsvw-vd~3366346[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/mels-heritage-dsvw-vd~3366346)
