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 MorePretty In Pink Eden Climbing Rose
Comments (13)jjpeace, I lost Eden to winter kill it's first year, so never got to know her, I'm trying her again this year on a tuteur. I hope this will be the year they do well and we both see lots of those perfect Eden blooms. Jasminerose4u, I have an order in for Super Dorothy for an arbor in another area. It is definitely a consideration. The Albrighton Rambler is too pale for this particular spot. My rail fence is quite a ways back from the road, and I want something that will be seen. I'm also considering Bajazzo. I planting Bajazzo on an arbor to my chicken coop area last year, and so far the canes do seem pliable enough. I have to go pick up the five PIPE's I ordered, so I can switch some of them out....See MorePlease help ID....thornless climbing pink rose
Comments (14)...just my observations but I agree with others that it's a dead ringer for 'Zephirine Drouhin'...going from the description.... and I assume this will be from the 1950's?... when I read earlier descriptions of this rose, they all seem to agree that it blooms until checked by frost and the disease issues that we see today, don't appear to have been such a problem in earlier times.... over here it's always put down to increased pollution kept these issues at bay, but today's cleaner air allows more black spot and mildew to proliferate... that's how I understand it... ....I can imagine in Shelbyville Texas, decades ago, this rose would have still been regarded as disease resistant... ...even here, it also grows to 8 foot or so in its first year.... all sounds about right......See MoreClimbing rose in deep pink
Comments (13)I have both PIP Eden and Zephrine Drouhin. The flowers on PIP Eden are just gorgeous, but I'm having a hard time with the rose in my intense sun location. My Zephy is an own root and so I think that's why it has been very slow to grow for me. I will have had it for four years now this summer and I'm hoping this is the year she takes off.
