Let's move this right on down the line.

Would you be interested in trading rose cuttings for Brug cuttings?I have tons of Charles Gramaldi and a lot of couple of pinks I'm cutting another row today. anykind of reblooming smelly roses are great.I know you posted for same but you never know till you ask.

A climbing rose can be grown without support, but one thing you have to deal with is strong winds. This is because strong winds whip the canes around and they lash each other and scratch the heck out of each other and you end up having to cut them back because of all the damage. There are all kinds of support that can be used rather than a trellis. A low fence, a tripod, an arch, are probably easier to work with than a trellis. Trellis are often too small and narrow to display a rose at its best. Check out the "ashdown rose" videos about climbing roses at youtube. Very helpful and instructive.

Jude the Obscure. Yeah, Kate, I guess the color changes everyday. This is my first bloom of English rose. THe smell of Zephirine is so so amazing. I love it so much that I want to buy another one, but it was out of stock when I went to the Garden center. sigh, so I have to wait until next year.
