Vote for climber over garage
Comments (18)My vote would be for Madame Alfred C. Here in Atlanta, she gets very little blackspot and is achingly beautiful and incredibly fragrant. Don't know how she'd do in TX, though. I have a friend who has Cecile Brunner growing up his two story deck. He is continually battling to keep it in bounds. I'm sure it would eat your house. RVR has one that is supposed to be "continuous blooming". I have the bush form of CB and the fragrance and BS resistance aren't as good here in GA as MAC....See MoreCl Perle d"Or?
Comments (25)Closer examination has me backtracking on "totally thornless" - there are actually a total of 5 small, curved thorns near the bottom of the plant. Rosefolly, just how thorny are your Perle d'Or plants? HMF says, "Short, thornless (or almost)." We know the "short" adjective isn't so applicable in our area; is "thornless (or almost)" also a bit of an understatement? HMF says "thornless (or almost)" about Climbing Yellow Sweetheart, too. Jackie, will definitely post a photo when it blooms; hopefully it will settle the question. I'm with you on Climbing Yellow Sweetheart -- I wouldn't be devastated if it turned out to be that! Phyllis Bide is more thorny than this plant, as I recollect, Rinaldo, but she has similar coloring and definitely is "around", so could be a possibility.

Comments (43)Ingrid - Yes, it's been 2 seasons already, and we have managed to move the following roses from off or near the house into the New Garden Cl Rainbow's End Anna Olivier what might be the correct Bloomfield Abundance Mme Caroline Testout Pink Pet Schmidt's Smooth Yellow Little White Pet Reve d'Or my Mystery ancient one whose original plant grows in a hedge a white china rose whose name I can't find Also an original plant from the ancient garden is thriving there - we did not move it, my Dh put the fence around it - common name "Spice Plant", and a totally new vollunteer Holly Hock showed up this Spring - it is gigantic. Here are a very few pics for you: This is the stump of the plant of Anna Olivia which was growing 15+ feet up our house, after it got chopped down and transplanted This is the same Anna Olivier bush now, creeping up the fence to hopefully leap over to the top of the "tunnel" in the Side Garden next door: This is Fortune's Double Yellow - we did not move this one - my DH just built the back garden fence to include it: This is the bush of Cl Rainbow's End that we did move off of the house - my DH built is a trellis to grow on: Here is the amazing Hollyhock which just joined the garden all by its own volition: Overview of one half of the garden early this Spring, before anything was blooming much, but you can see that it is a garden, not a bare place as it used to be:...See MoreUPDATE on moving roses off 3 story house project
Comments (13)The only good privet is a dead privet -- my personal opinion. I removed a half-dozen first thing upon moving here and many in the neighborhood have followed suit (though not completely enough to totally eliminate those endless invasive seedlings). There are so many better trees. Some of the last ones left around here are, unfortunately, my neighbor's and on our fenceline. At least one of them is deeply infected with honey root fungus, to which they are highly susceptible. The presence of those infected roots on my side of the fence means I can only plant resistant species there, and that certainly does not include roses, which are also very susceptible. I keep praying ferverently for their death, or that the neighbor will take them out, considering how wretched they look, but honey root fungus takes a long time to kill entirely. Good to see 'Anna Olivier' coming back. I have also become an unwilling experimenter with cutting back roses hard (though not moving them, fortunately), due to having to accommodate tent fumigation for drywood termites. A few roses were even unavoidably within the tent due to having to include a pergola. So far, all have come roaring back, though the upper half of 'Narrow Water' did seem to suffer some from the fumigant. It is, however, putting up several strong-looking new basals and a lot of good foliage below the 3' level....See Moreportlandmysteryrose
