Neat suggestions for a good light pink repeat bloom climber..
Comments (19)Hi again Jess Aloha gets very bushy and dense after a few years though healthy and gives lots of flowers. Has to be carefully pruned not to look messy up an arbor. Coral Dawn is easy to train up an arbor and easy to maintain, likes lots of organic fertilizer. Is has red thorns but I would not say very thorny, there are thorns though, less than New Dawn. If your arbor is rather wide you might want to plant two plants of Coral Dawn. Lots of light fresh fragrance. Perhaps there is a Coral Dawn growing near you so you can see it for real....See MoreYour best repeat blooming climbers? how about yellow/apricot?
Comments (14)So many helpful & descriptive responses! From what almost everyone says about Crepuscule, it seems to be the perfect rose, fragrant, constant bloomer, almost thornless, disease resistant.. what more can you ask for?! I decided that this one would be my first climbing purchase ever, and I found a website through "Dave's Garden" for a nursery called Niche Gardens, which had it in stock in 1 gallon containers. I am excited to see how it does, however now I have all these other amazing suggestions to consider as my second and third climbing roses. I think I will put in an order at RU for the cl. Lady Hillingdon for next year because I just cannot get over the beauty in all the photos I have seen & I must give that rose a try. Reve D'Or looks very intriguing as well, it seems to have as good of a repeat as Crepuscle, with a softer yellow/apricot coloring that looks almost ivory.. very lovely. Buff Beauty looks lovely as well but I am not sure that I will have room for another rose that gets huge, I am sure Crepuscle will give me a run for my money in the garden space department in a few years. Kingcobb, I know that Don Juan is a red, but since everyone seems to comment that he is so fragrant & such a heavy bloomer I think I may have to add it to my ever increasing "find a place for this rose" list. I think it would add some nice contrast to all this yellow/apricot. I actually already have a rose that I have decided must be Teasing Georgia, I bought it cheap as an unlabeled, abused little thing from the "alley of impending doom" at my local nursery, and I have been nursing it back to health for a few weeks now. I posted photos of it here and a few helpful members have convinced me it is probably a Teasing Georgia. So if I can get it looking good and strong again, there is another climber for me to play around with! I'll link that post at the bottom. Has anyone had any experience growing Pat Austin as a climber? I saw an image of it on this site somewhere and it was jaw-dropping, it finally made her "weak necks" seem like a good thing, because she looks beautiful from below. Thanks again all! Jessica.

Comments (16)Susan, I have the tea-nosiette Pleasant Hill Cemetery that might work. It's been one of my cleanest roses (no spray), always has a bloom or two, has been a robust grower and has very, very pliable canes. This spring the poor thing was still a baby and I hadn't gotten it trained on anything and it was just a heap on the ground covered in small to medium sweet white blooms. I read somewhere that is is extremely easy to root and considering what a pathetic stick it was when it arrived and how it then took off I believe it. You're more than welcome to come down to Franklin and take a cutting of it you want. Here's Vintage's write up on it: Here is a link that might be useful: PHC at Vintage...See MoreDoes Eden, The Romantica Climber, Have Good Repeat In CA
Comments (12)I had this rose in my Sherman Oaks garden approximately 15 miles from the beach near the Sepulveda Pass. The rust was so awful, I removed it in the middle of August, because every part of the plant rusted including the canes, the petals, the guard petals, the foliage, the twigs, and the thorns. Oddly enough, the first few years it did not rust, but once the rust set in, the plant was practically a monument to the disease. Ten years ago in Paris, I think I saw this rose in every possible place, including containers in private gardens and apartment complexes. Beautiful and lovely, but I have vowed not to suffer rust after having both Eden and Playboy. Five miles to the east, my friends in Toluca Lake have both Playboy and Eden, but never get rust or mildew; I think it is because there is a mandatory breeze blowing all pathogens to North Hollywood.
