Choosing ramblers or climbers: Part Deux
Comments (11)This is New Dawn in a fairly cold 6a These are about 15 years old now, and about as big as they are going to get. Training them is the definition of garden evil, since the hill is nastier than the thorns, and New Dawn thorns are nothing to sneeze at. I wouldn't even think of putting it on a front porch if anybody ever used the porch. There is a gravel path on the other side of the wall, and any canes that interfere there are quickly zapped. Now I do think that this is a particular good clone of New Dawn since these are cuttings from a plant that was planted in the 1930's. Basically, New Dawn should be hardy, however it won't grow to monstrous proportions and unless we are talking about a small stoop won't be big enough to cover a porch, and training it to keep it in bounds will be a major, continuous job, often requiring a ladder. That's the big advantage of a pillar rose - that most of the training can be done from ground level. The roses I have with endless canes are setigera hybrids. Those are once bloomers, but they are big, hardy and trainable. Those roses you could run up the pillars and across the roof....See Morepart sun climber?
Comments (5)Rosa, Darlow's Enigma is a fantastic tall shrub rose that tolerates part shade and keeps on blooming and blooming. It is a simple white with yellow stamen - Simply beautiful. It has a heady, sweet fragrance, reminiscent of old species roses, but it blooms all summer. It can be trained on a trellis against the house. I Love it! That is one. ~Annie Here is a link that might be useful: Rosa, Darlow's Enigma - photo and info...See Moreevergreen climber for part shade
Comments (10)Yes, but it won't in much shade :-) It needs summer heat (which we don't always receive) and is not self-fertile either, so needs a second variety to cross pollinate. While the fruit is a curiosity and certainly interesting, I'd not consider it a stellar menu item - unpleasant, gummy and pulpy texture with a slightly sweet taste. Think a combination of watered down tapioca and sweet, non-fishy caviar :-) Our display plant at the nursery, in a very exposed location, still has most of its foliage, although rather ratty looking at the moment. You didn't get hit with those two strong cold fronts we experienced this winter - one in November, the second just last month? We had temps in the teens (farenheit) in some areas here. I'm surprised you didn't experience something similar up north....See MoreBlossomtime a true climber?
Comments (15)The is also one of my favorites. The poor thing is in between a honeysuckle and butterfly bush and needs one of those two moved, I won't dare move blossomtime, it is so thorny . The color is remarkable as well as the fragrance. I'm sorry I posted the above pic , I couldn't tell on my phone but it did have thrip damage this spring. But it sure bloomed a lot ! This was this spring. It really wanted to be wide ! But it threw up a lot of long canes and is at least taller than me....See Moreladybug A 9a Houston area
