Favorite fragrant climbers that repeat?
Comments (11)I must have lost my mind because I just ordered Crepuscule, Reve D'or, AND Climbing Crimson Glory, due for delivery in September. I have been evaluating my property and decided that I could find the space for few climbers, two of those listed above will hopefully find happiness growing up the side of my house, I am hoping to get an "invisible trellis" installed in one or maybe two places on the outside of my house for them. The remaining rose(s) will grow against an ugly chain link fence that divides mine and my neighbor's back yards. The one that goes in the back yard will probably have the most growing space, but will also have to deal with the most shade, I am thinking maybe crepuscule could go there? Out of these 3 which one do you all think will grow the largest/smallest? I know ramblers get quite large and can really devour any structure in their path, but since crepescule isn't technically a rambler, I didn't know if it would have the same massive size, or if just the shape of the plant is similar to a rambler. I have read in various places that all three of these roses can get quite large. I visit HMF often, but I still seem to have a hard time deciphering growing habits and sizes, it seems like they can vary widely based on climate and just the individual gardener because I am constantly reading conflicting statements of size of one plant as different based on what website I'm looking at. I am a little intimidated by the task I have put ahead of myself, I've never had a climber, ever, but if I never try it will never happen, so here goes nothing!

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 (7)You can't go wrong with Climbing Pinkie. As mentioned above it's pretty much thornless so it's easy to work with although there might be an odd thorn or two. If you have room you can let it mound on its own, work it through a fence or tie it to a pillar -- whatever ... it's great! Descriptions and photos on HelpMeFindRoses: http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.4868.1 For landscape impact and ease of care I'd rather have all climbing pinkies than a variety of other climbing roses.

Comments (41)Ok. I figured I better get QS so went to Chamblees site where I still had a couple on my wishlist. Their roses are now twice the price with a set shipping price., but still, I never paid double the rose to ship. Now I'm kicking myself because they are the only ones to carry a few I wanted and I can't really afford to buy them. Is it already under new ownership or management? Edit: I just called and they have been bought so new prices and policy. At least they are keeping it as a nursery....See Morehaku84_zone9
