What about New Dawn? It's silver pink, vigorous and shade tolerant. I believe 2 ND would cover most of the wall in 5 years.

With the south eastern exposure I would expect more than 4 hours sun unless it is heavily treed. Is there any chance you could Have more some than that? That truly is not a lot for most roses and when I have tried to grow them under such conditions they have not done well. I would suggest MAC or new dawn all the new dawn is a lot fornia so that may be more difficult for you to tie up. Another rose that is not pink but a pale apricot yellow shading into blush is Ghislaine de Feligonde. There is also a pink GDF. I do not grow that 1 so I don't know it's exact color. The generous gardener might be another possibility. You have a very attractive house that would look just gorgeous covered in roses. What were you thinking to attach them to?

@Vaporvac Z6-OhioRiverValley, @Feiy (PNWZ8b/9a), thank you for commenting. Really appreciate your guidance!

New Dawn is very pretty! Just not looking for pink at this time.

:-)

On sun exposure -- I will time this in a few days and post. The house is indeed heavily treed…

Thank you for the compliment on the house Vaporvac. As for the support, would leaning a wooden trellis against the wall be too flimsy? A local hardware store has a 96" DuraTrel trellis that seems sturdier than wood. Trying to avoid drilling into the brick/mortar, as we tend to be overprotective of our house. :-)

Ghislaine de Feligonde is beautiful! Love the apricot color. If the sun situation isn't better than 4 hours, I will go with GDF.

I would go with Mme A Carriere as it does well in partial shade and is vigorous enough to cover that wall. GdF is a gorgeous rose but I'm not sure if it would be tall enough, HMF has it at 8' I believe. I love ND but it does require blood donations whilst pruning, very nasty thorns.

If you get one to work, come back and post a picture in a few years. It will be spectacular!

FWIW, New Dawn starts a blush pink and fades to almost white. In fact, many object to this as they want a pink rose. GdeF for me is at least 15'+ in year 3. It's taller, but it's trained very horizontal and weaving. I'll add a pic in a bit. There are many ideas for treliising, but it must be sturdy. Some people attach things to the mortar, not the bricks. MAC is a stunning rose. I honestly think you could use 2 or three in shading or complementary colours.

If you're in NY state, blackspot will be a problem. Please get hold of Peter Kukielski's book "Roses Without Chemicals." Or be prepared to spray, and you probably you don't want to spray chemicals right next to your windows...

I can confirm that New Dawn doesn't register to the eye as pink really,but is very thorny.But I totally agree with Vaporvac that 2 or 3 in shading colours would look much more interesting. Or maybe 2 in similar shades, with one mixed in that is darker to complement.

Thank you for your guidance @smithdale1z8pnw, @mmmm12COzone5, @Vaporvac Z6-OhioRiverValley, @JoJo (Nevada 9A), @bart bart,

It was raining all day today and the sun exposure on the wall could not be determined. Now I am going on a 10 day trip… will look at the sun situation again when I am back home.

I think I will go with mixing Mme A Carriere and Ghislaine de Feligonde. How pretty would the mix of white MAC and apricot GdF be! New Dawn must be beautiful given so many of you recommending it. Maybe in a few years, I will come back to it after I've learned more about roses.

@JoJo (Nevada 9A), thank you for the heads up and a book recommendation. It's now downloaded onto my phone. My future roses now have a better chance of survival.

@mmmm12COzone5, I will definitely post progress pics. Wish me luck :-)

@Vaporvac Z6-OhioRiverValley, can you recommend an online store that sells Ghislaine de Feligonde? Heirloom Roses discontinued GdF, the few US stores that Google found are shops I've never heard of. (One shop states that their GdF came from a historic cemetery…, not that it matters but it's an information I can't unknow)

Sorry. For some reason I can't Link anymore but go to this website and put in under search on the left hand side It will take you to information on that rose including photos comments and where can be purchased. I got mine from antique rose emporium, but they no longer carry it for the past couple of years. Long ago roses and high country roses are both places from whom I've ordered who both carry it, but you'll have to check to see if they have in stock..

@Vaporvac Z6-OhioRiverValley,

I went to both stores and sent inquiry emails. Helpmefind.com is bookmarked in my Rose folder. :-) Hope they carry GdF. This is really exciting! Thanks so much for all your help!

There are others so dont lose hope. I'd be willing to Try routing 1 for you if you don't find it but you might be better off buying it as that could take a while! LOL!

That's so kind of you @Vaporvac Z6-OhioRiverValley, :-D

I might reach out to you if there's nothing else!

Palatine Fruit & Roses in Canada looks promising, but they have a 3 rose minimum. As a last resort i can order one Ghislaine De Féligonde and two more roses from here.

Madame jean!!!

If the sun exposure is really only 4 hour, plus NY having blackspot pressure I would strongly suggest a climbing hydrangea.

MAC may make it, but 4 hours is not very much.

That is also my concern. GdeF has a gorgeous flush in such a circumstance, but others say she blooms often, so it's basically a once-bloomer in low light. Surprisingly clean. I also ador Cl.Hydranga, but there's also the concern of a a climber that attaches itself to the brick and mortar. Hopefully, there's more sun than 4 hours.

I planted Wollerton Old Hall to partially climb up the side of my house. It gets about 4.5 hours of sun. The flowers are just gorgeous. Really. But it does get some black spot and does not seem terribly vigorous. Not sure it would cover your wall. It is about 5' tall in it's second year but kind of leggy. I'm still figuring out best feeding / watering schedule. Not a heavy bloomer (maybe needs more sun) but the consistent blooms I get seem to glow from the inside. I really love this rose so am willing to fuss with it. I'm only using organic spray so it's trial and error.

I’m new to climbers myself but so far I like my cream coloured Honeymoon Arborose, which is a climber from Kordes. It’s very healthy in my garden, and floriferous.

Mine is a very young plant. Supposedly she can get tall.

@Vaporvac Z6-OhioRiverValley, Linda at Long Ago Roses have both MAC and GdF! Thank so much for pointing to her.

I will have to wait for Madame Jean til I go to Palatine Roses. ;-)

@PonyPals2, @Minshen (8b/9a Victoria BC), thank you for posing your experience.

@PonyPals2, I will note what you‘ve written about WOH until I get to the level to challenge her. It’s good to know where to set expectations.

@Minshen (8b/9a Victoria BC), your Honeymoon Arborose looks completely established. So pretty!!!!! Its disease resistance is nice too. First I will give MAC and GdF a try and see. Thanks for introducing the rose.

Does anyone grow pink GDF? I'm so curious about her and how they would look growing together.
