Can anyone recommend a good climbing yellow and climbing red rose
Comments (5)Rev d'Or did very well in Earthkind trials for Texas gardens, so may do well for you, too. I like a modern red climber in my garden - Dublin Bay. It reblooms well - no fragrance, though. It can definitely take the heat. Anita...See MoreAnother Red question
Comments (12)Hi chaoticdreams, a good place to search is Helpmefind for roses. If you are a member, you can conduct an advanced search for deep red roses and specify what class or rose, what size of bush, bloom, fragrance but most importantly it looks as if you are in Florida therefore resistance to diseases like I am guessing blackspot etc. would be important, so you can add disease resistance that to your search too. Scroll through the ones that pop up and when you have found your favorites, ask the members for info regarding their experience with the roses you are considering. I live in a hot dry climate and have sought assistance from folks in a climate similar to mine. The forum members are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. You may get a Floridian or some other person dealing with conditions similar to yours who will chime in with suggestions. You can then go to help me find, search the rose, learn about all of its attributes and if it is popular you may see photos of the bloom and the bush. Because I landscape with roses, seeing the bush is always equally helpful. Btw.. I have grown Veterans Honor... the blooms are huge and the plant becomes rather tall 6' Crimson bouquet was bullet proof here and forms a nice looking plant. Europeana has deep red blooms and dark green healthy foliage Black Magic is a very deep red hybrid tea. It will grow to become 6' - 7' tall. I have not found it to ever be very floriferous. Chrysler Imperial and Oklahoma are deep reds... C.I. I believe is supposed to be fragrant but it was not for me here. Mr. Lincoln has great form and has lovely Hybrid Tea blooms but it becomes huge and will be leggy like many hybrid teas. It is not as deep of a red as compared to black magic but it is fragrant. Good luck:) Lynn...See MoreRecommended red rose for pillaring?
Comments (8)Big help! Your conditions sound like mine. Let me think on it. :-) Tell me about the area where your pillar is. Will you have to walk very close to it??? Will prickles be a problem? I'm wondering if you have access to the Tea/Noisette, 'Reve d'Or'? Or, perhaps, 'Lamarque'??? The Tea Noisettes, I think, should like your climate, and they are limber. But if they look to be too big for you, consider a climging Miniature, such as 'Jeanne la Joie.' Here is a link that might be useful: 'Jeanne la Joie' on HelpMeFind....See MoreNeed good red rose recommendation
