Hardy, constantly blooming, pink climbing rose for zone 5b?
Comments (6)Hi all! Dani33, you asked for a follow up. Zepherine is now 2 years old and frankly just limping along. Doubtless my fault for planting her in partial shade to begin with (but it was the only location left to get a climber going around the front porch like I wanted) :-( Also we've had 2 frigid Chicago winters and no I didn't cover her or burlap her or even cover up her roots. I guess its amazing she's alive at all! So far no leaves so maybe she didn't make it? I'll try to remember to let u know when I see any activity on her. Angel Face remains happy as lark. She's planted right next to Zephy (also part shade) but I looove this plant for its unusal mauvey-blue color, *endless* blooms, and its amazing fragrance. It's just a wonderful thing to admire and sniff :) Was just thinking today of putting some new climbers on the VERY sunny south wall of our house which gets wonderful air flow and all day sunshine. Much more rose-friendly I think. Something that has some fragrance cuz that window is open a lot in summer and has fat rose hips for the birds in winter. Thorny but not insane (no more Josephs Coat or Pink Dawn). Reason for rose here? Its where our wild birds perch while waiting their turn at the feeder - and my cats love to watch their "bird tv" from that window! :) Currently there's a mulberry bush there but I'm getting rid of it bc I've never liked mulberry bushes (sorry mulberries!) Would only need to get as tall as the window maybe 9 -12'? Thought of putting a crabapple there so the birds could chow in berries all winter -- but then I'll have squirrels leaping from the branches, stealing all the birds' seed. So I think a climbing rose around that window is the way to go - squirrels don't like thorns or tiny branches that won't support them. You guys really are so smart and helpful!! I really have appreciated all the thoughtful feedback! Best ~Kelly (in Chicago, not Indiana now!)...See MoreNeed white mini for zone 5b
Comments (4)To me the best white mini is Irresistible. You might look at Memphis Queen or Cape Hatteras. Fairhope is not white, it is a light yellow according to toe American Rose Society. Also if you can find it Sandy Lundberg...See MoreMystery rose in Glenwood Springs, CO
Comments (1)I see one of these every week, at my friend's place. She bought at a nursery but doesn't remember what it was labeled. I think it is one that has been sold as 'Climbing American Beauty', but have not confirmed that with a labeled living specimen. Also I think when I looked into this there was some question about plants being sold under the name being the true item. So this might be one that was sold as that cultivar but actually is not, I don't know....See MoreRoses for south/mostly west facing zone 5b Massachusetts garden
Comments (7)Patty, Julia has been a workhorse here, even in the not best conditions, some morning shade and mid-day sun, then shade then late afternoon sun, 4 1/2 of sun hours tops but she still keeps blooming. Thanks for the heads-up on disease the first couple of years new Austins have been disease disasters this year. Maybe year three (next year) will be the year I'll see an improvement? One can hope. I'll be ordering her roses and suggesting the best for her to pick from. Luckily she doesn't mind if they lack scent. This gives her a lot more choices. They'll definitely be own root. winter hardiness is definitely a concern. I have Peter Kulkielski's book 'Chemical Free Roses' for reference plus the wealth of information and knowledge from the rose forum community so I'm sure we'll find something that will provide lots of beauty without a lot of stress....See MoreMischievous Magpie (CO 5b)
