Which Climbing Red Would You Suggest?
Comments (44)It is interesting how topics from the past are coming back up with Houzz Here is what ended up happening with this arch. I looked at this bed all summer debating the empty spot, disliking the blah tone of the Netune's in the summer sun. Finding out that the other lavender rose given to me is pink with lavender tones. And the idea of all red on the arch just reminded me of a hat band in a reverse of the Red Hat Society. Not that there is anything wrong with celebrating being over 50-we earned that hat. It was just not the soft look I wanted. Don Juan stays be cause my dad planted him and frankly he has a lot of very happy Doc Huey under the side walk that I know I would be haunted by if I tried to move him. So after saying I wanted no stripes and red with lots of scent, I fell in love with a Raspberry Cream Twirl who clashes perfectly with most everything tall in the bed. But she has wonderful flexible green canes with no thorns and from the right seat I can enjoy her with the Sweet Chariots and what ever that pink rose happens to be. I did get Rhode Island Red (Fields of the Wood) for the main garden and her blooms are incredible, although kind of rare since she is still a baby. Noella Nabonnand does have fabulously clean foliage and is in my Nabonnand court with a persimmon tree to climb. And Cramoisi Superieur is in the garden as of just a few months ago. If I had the energy and a spot for them, the Neptune's and Ebb Tide would move some where else. You would never know Ebb Tide was there so that just leaves the Neptune's and mom loves them.... Don Juan is now part of the HT's for mom to cut and bring inside...See MoreCan you guys recommend a climbing rose for a trellis?
Comments (14)The trellis is 12 feet tall and 8 feet wide. In that case, while I have never gardened in your climate and I've never grown either of these roses, I suspect these two roses might be worth considering: Climbing Mrs. Herbert Stevens Climbing Lady Hillingdon Both are climbing sports of tea roses (NOT "hybrid tea" roses). I can't easily grow either of these in my climate north of Boston (with really rare exceptions the tea roses like more heat in the summer and winter than I can offer), but in your Houston area climate I won't be surprised to learn there are other rose growers here (perhaps on the "Antique Rose" forum) from the Houston area who are familiar with both of these roses, and can tell you better than I can whether they are climbing roses that do well in your area (as I suspect they might both be). You may well not find either available in a garden center, but you will find them available via mail order from rose specialty nurseries....See MoreJust for fun... recommend a climbing rose for cattle panel arch
Comments (15)i vote for two of the same rose. i just think there is no way to get an even response, and for that, i think balance is good. yes, i LOVE when i convince DH to agree to expanding beds. one tip...ALWAYS talk about less grass to be mown!! that seems to always work!! probably my favorite climber is LaMarque. lemony white, blooms at Christmas!! trainable, but does have thorns. i just selected two for a major visability area over six french doors (tore out the junky and wild wisteria). Reve d'Or is a beauty too. thorns, but workable. I am almost tired of the blooming!! as i am anxious to prune her as i am reworking her bed!! but she won't quit! lucious creamy gold blooms. big buds. just delicious! Madame Alfred Carrier is really flexible and hardly thorny. pale pink/white blooms. reliable. but, i guess in fairness, the blooms are not to die for. Cornelia is really charming. strawberry pink blooms, no thorns. your climate is vastly different. one thing in planning. i have found major eye attractions, like this, do well with a color that welcomes the eye. for me, and this is highly personal. i don't like that color to dictate too much. (i think of it as a front door to a home). and LaMarque, with it's interesting white color, is a nice highlight that separates this area as 'special' apart from the rest of the garden. and doesn't dictate a color theme for the rest. (that may be my artist side of the brain speaking, FWIW!) good luck! let us know!!...See MoreWhich roses would you recommend for obscuring a view?
Comments (8)Call up Nick at Heritage Rosarium in Maryland. He'll know exactly how large plants grow in your zone, and he'll know all about any disease issues in your part of the world. This is a tall order: tall, fragrant, as evergreen as possible, and hardy. How tall do you need? I suppose you want blackspot and disease resistant roses. Hopefully Pennsylvania growers can comment on the blackspot resistance of these roses. Then there's the whole issue of Rose Rosette Disease and multifloras. In your zone, the best roses for this work are probably species crosses and species hybrids. Most will only bloom once in the spring. Many are reasonably hardy, vigorous, and large. The red Rosa moyesii and hybrid moyesii's are an obvious choice, things like Geranium, Highdownensis, and Eos. A number of Albas are really tall, like small trees, fragrant, but only once-blooming. Blanche de Belgique is a good choice. Chloris is another. The damask Celestial can get large, tho not huge. Mme Legras is another choice. A few Hybrid Musks will also do the work. Darlow's Enigma will do the job, with small white flowers and good hardiness. Same with Trier and Moonlight. I don't get great rebloom. Ballerina can grow over time, although mine is only 4 feet tall but 8 feet wide. Propped up against something else, it might get tall enough. Plaisanterie, if you can get it, would probably do. Since these are hybrid multifloras, the RRD issues comes into play. Some kordesii's will work: Dortmund and Illusion come to mind. Not much scent but great hardiness. Last, a number of climbers can be grown very upright. Aloha comes to mind immediately. Here is a link that might be useful: Heritage Rosarium, Brookville, MD...See MoreAgnes
