Impressionist vs. David Austin Climber
Comments (3)Touted when it came out as "disease resistant", 'The Impressionist' made me wonder what that phrase must really mean, because mine defoliates faster and more completely from Blackspot than most any other rose I grow. Very disappointing. I also find the color to be harsh compared to the softer hues of the Austin roses. It is very stiff and upright and not at all easily trained. After 7 years of fussing with it, it meets Mr. Shovel this year....See MoreCompassion Rose / Climber Question
Comments (1)Sorry to say that any normal-ish climbing rose in unsuited to this situation. Once it gets going, it will make shoots 8-10' long that are too stiff to wrap on a lamppost.

Comments (3)Gloriana is breathtaking here in California wine country. It's got scattered rebloom. Maybe if it were pruned and deadheaded, it would rebloom better. I can't really manage to deadhead it without a cherry picker. Don't think you're getting a mini climber. On its own roots it has 15 to 20 basals and is about 10 or more feet tall. I planted it in the wrong place, so all I could do is rope it into submission like a sheaf of wheat and turn it into a pillar. The foliage is great. Sometimes it gets a little rust late in the season, but it never mars the top surface of the leaves. It's hard to find. I need to propagate more plants. It's rough to root. Here is a link that might be useful: Gloriana...See MoreAny reviews of the Nitro Wall Climber or Dolphin 4 pool cleaners?
Comments (1)The wall climber sounds interesting. I am in the market for a new pool cleaner also. Did you ever purchase one? Which one and what have been your results? I have a Hayward Navigator that has been a pain since our pool install several years ago. A big leaf will stop it in it's tracks. We spend more time cleaning the pool than the Navigator!
