Comments (5)Lovely, Hoang. You have a gorgeous Queen of Elegance. Mine was a substitute for Scentuous that died in the bucket of water. I think it worked out for the best. There's something a little different in Queen's color. It has a slightly duskiness you don't notice right away that separates it from other medium pink roses....See MoreQueen of Elegance, State of Grace, Fun in the Sun, Golden Opportunity
Comments (7)@strawchicago z5 I didn’t notice any fragrance mostly because the flowers has already opened for a few days. I’ll report back when more buds open up. However I picked up one Life of the Party last night. One flower opened this morning and it was noticably very fragrant with only one flower....See MoreEden Climber or Viking Queen ? (Or something else)
Comments (20)@Megan Yes, Planting close to the south side of home in my zone 6 has really helped my 2 Edens & Strawberry Hill climbers & many roses. Very little die back if any. Eden is huge & has 130 buds so far in 3rd year ready to open! I expect 150 buds or more!!! @Vaporvac Z6-OhioRiverValley You have 60 climbers!!!! That’s spectacular! How can you possibly care for so many? Do you keep them short? I find w/freezing cold winters some of my climbers in the open yard die back so I pruned them after first year way back-starting over-so easy to care for as they won’t be too large! Except my Edens & Strawberry Hill Cl next to home which will be 10 ft or so. However However, many can grow 10 ft in one season. . I am planting 3 other climbers next to home this week, too. I have 17 climbers. @Lily N Could you tell me location in your yard where you wish to plant the climber? In full sun all day or part sun/oart shade? There’s a rose for every location. You can do fine w/a zone 5- rose, just need proper care. Eden does great next to S side of home! I’d only wrap climbers in burlap if they were out in the open yard during winter. Sone rosarians plant Old Garden Roses that are specifically hardy, disease resistant, little care for cold climates. Some OGR roses that naturally do well are ramblers & rugosas in cold climates. You need to learn about each OGR as some get Black spot & are not “hardy.” Some OGR are very durable!!!! (However, I like specific old gardens rises…. so I just olant them in the right spots & learn their care.) Near Ithaca, NY, zone 5 or 6a is Der Rosienmeister Nursery. You can call Leon Ginenthal , founder of D Rosenmeister Nursry and ask him which climbers may be best for you? He gives tours of his garden. He sells roses but doesnt have much left to sell this year. He has a rose list in his website! Look at his website-…. videos of his gardens…. they are like walking in the garden if Eden! Therese Bugnet OGR, a rugosa rose, is one of his roses, no spray, winter hardy, disease resistant. It grows easily. The Swedish Rose Society recommends it for N Sweden-wow! Grows about 7+ft and spreads very wide! profuse bloomer-pink blooms! He still has it for sale. So you may wish to decide do you want Old Garden Roses and/or modern roses? Modern Climbers I have found very hardy to cold weather are Edens, New Dawn, Awakening, Laguna, Honeymoon, Kiss of Desire, Pomponella, Jasmina , and Aloha-all glossy leaves. . There are others, but I am watching this year to see if they need more winter protection.All 17 of my climbers do well -some OGR & some modern....See Morebellarosa
