Climbing combo? Don Juan & Red Cascade
Comments (5)Sherry, I am doing just that, but with some other rose combinations... I do, however, have Red Cascade intermingling with Alister Stella Grey AND a blue AND a white clematis...Overkill? FWIW... you really won't know what's going to happen in your own microclimate until you try it yourself. Now...from a different standpoint. I will say that I don't always like different "reds" together. I don't know if I would like or hate RC and DJ...sometimes different reds together are unappealing to me..put some of the flowers together and see what you think. I'm using some Barbier hybrid wichuranas to provide leaves for my otherwise naked roses: Sombreuil, Parade, Secret Garden Musk Climber, etc. I think it looks cool.

Comments (2)I tried red cascade as a border once...it didn't work. I planted six of them side by side, in hope they would cascade over the timber wall that was 3 ft high. while they didn't get very tall they did get very long. Most of the canes were over six feet long. It was hard to maintain all of the canes as they wanted to fill everywhere in the garden. These would make excellent small climbers though.

Comments (4)At the American Rose Society gardens in Shreveport (it's so hot and humid your glasses will fog up and your shoes stick to the asphalt), Red Cascade has been used sucessfully to cover a hill slope between two 'rose rooms.' The soil there is sandy (it's a pine forest.) There Red Cascades were about five feet high and a dense growers and heavy bloomers....See Morefamiliar with Red Cascade?
Comments (9)Hi Dale, I have Red Cascade also but it's a baby. HelpMeFind/roses.com is a great source of info, I use it a lot! The info below is what I put in my mini info file. (Some of it may be redundant) Red Cascade- *Tiny perfect fully double, deeply cupped miniature roses. A resilient, no-spray rose in Central Florida that is not at all picky about its soil. Though it defoliates a bit during the winter, its spring flush is remarkably lush. Blooms in flushes throughout the summer and fall. Though it's marketed as a groundcover rose, I think it's best growing up through a support of some kind so that its flower can be appreciated. I keep mine at 4 feet, but my guess is that it would grow to around 6Â. To class a 15 ft (4.5m) rose as a miniature seems ridiculous, but 'Red Cascade' is diminutive in everything but the length of its canes. The leaves are small, leathery, and dark green, and the flowers, which measure just an inch (2.5cm) across, are a dark, rich red. This rose is outstandingly vigorous: fast-growing and in bloom virtually all season, this rose thrives even in less than ideal circumstances. It's equally effective as a cascading shrub or climbing a pillar or fence. Plant Type: Miniature Climber USDA Zones: 5 to 10 Height: 12 to 18 inches Width: 6 feet Bloom Size: 1 inches Petal Count: 26-40 Red Cascade (Pat. #3962) Moore. A prostrate or cascading climber. Excellent for hanging baskets, ground cover, or on a wall. Blooms are most prolific after the plant reaches full size. A remarkably useful landscape rose. Ht. 1' x 5' wide. 1976 Award of Excellence.* Allison...See Moredianela7analabama
