Just 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 MoreClimbing rose for arbor in Zone 5???
Comments (22)Thanks the morden man, they are pretty when they are in bloom.....just planted Blossomtime and Awakening rose bands next to them, hopefully in 3 years I will see some re-blooms out of the same spots. Also I will try deadheading after their first bloom this year.....I might buy another New Dawn and give it a try if I can find a grafted one at any local nursery...... I see you're in Ontario, there is a Niagara Parks Botanical Garden, it has over 2400 roses, I love there! Thanks again...See MoreClimbing rose for my arbor
Comments (10)A number of the Austins would make lovely climbers for an arbor that size. I have Crown Princess Margareta on my arbor and Teasing Georgia as a climber on a trellis along the wall of the house (both apricots; nice fruity scent). Brother Cadfael (huge pink blooms, thornless) also does nicely here. One of my absolute favorite Austins that would work as a short climber is Jude the Obscure, beautiful flowers (still flowering now! a yellow blend) and an absolutely amazing scent--even better than Abraham Darby if you can believe it. Pretty light on the thorns too. Strawberry Hill is another pink with a myrrh scent that has a climbing habit in my zone and is always in bloom. And Graham Thomas is a rock-solid reliable yellow that would make a lovely climber for an arbor--rich yellow, with a strong Tea scent. That is a few of my favorite Austins with a climbing habit at present, although there are many more that would be suitable....See MoreRecommend your arbor for climbing rose
Comments (20)The arbor above is at least 5 feet across and 18 years old. It's a good quality metal one (rust isn't a problem here), and it stands on a slope to make things even more difficult for the arbor. In those 18 years, the arbor has supported a huge New Dawn for 7 years, and now its current occupant, the biggest Colette around, for 11 years. To ensure stability of the arbor, my son in law drove cattle fence posts into the ground and lashed the top foot or so of the posts to the arbor's legs. I can't remember where I ordered this arbor from 18 years ago, but it wasn't cheap, nor was it the most expensive. I've seen a wonderful selection of arbors from Hayneedle (I've purchased some good gardening products from them), Amazon, and Gardener's Supply. A lot of the same arbors are sold on all three of these websites, so look for the best deal and free shipping, if you choose to order. Diane...See MoreTammy (Southern Ont) Zone 4/5 USDA
