Hey everyone! Back in the forum again
Comments (2)Heather-Welcome Back! Your son sounds sweet. Let him have a garden all his own, maybe some Sunflowers. Another good garden for a kid is a "salad garden" from seeds. let him plant a row of lettuce and one of radishes. He'll have an edible crop by June, and you can help him make a simple salad dressing, oil vinegar, water, salt pepper and sugar to taste....See MoreNeed good yellow climber. Any Suggestions?
Comments (10)Duchesse d'Auerstadt, Bouquet d'Or, Alister Stella Gray, Crepuscule, Lady Hillingdon (climbing version), Marechal Niel, Chromatella, Ley's Perpetual, Mme. Berard. Of these the only ones I grow are Marechal Niel, Mme. Berard, and Crepuscule. I have not had luck with Bouquet d'Or (my fault, or weak clones or bad placement...) and the ones I do grow are just babies. Haven't even had a flower from Crepuscule yet but it was very very small when I got it. I have seen the Mamma plant...it was a gift from Hoovb...and it is a gorgeous rose. Robert in Virgina raved about Ley's Perpetual, and the pictures I have seen of it would justify his enthusiasm. I hope others who have more experience answer your very interesting thread.

Comments (7)Thank you everyone for your replies! Marlorena, both of those varieties are gorgeous and I haven't really heard of either, I will have to look them up, I Iove the looks of both of those photos! After just googling "climbing Lady Hillingdon" and looking at the photos and reading through peoples' overall experience with her, I found myself swooning over this rose, and remembering why I decided to order it in the first place. Olga's photos were certainly a part of that, her specimen is just the epitome of what a romantic garden rose should look like, just absolutely stunning! So now I just HAVE to give her a go. If she doesn't work out for me, then I will probably use either Reve d'Or or Teasing Georgia in that spot. Reve is classically gorgeous & sounds healthy and easy to train, but I do love the huge, lush blooms of TG , even though she is more of a struggle to work with, she seems very vigorous. I was thinking of using Reve in a spot along a (future) fence that is on a sidewalk (soon to be built by the city) that will have pretty heavy pedestrian traffic, so the thornlessness sounds like it might be helpful there. I am still worried about how Cl Lady Hillingdon will fare with Tennessee's notorious late season cold snaps, but hopefully I will be skilled enough in protecting her roots/canes for her to be able to get established. She is coming from Roses Unlimited, and all I ever hear is that their plants are some of the largest 1 gal. roses purchasable from the main few internet nurseries. We are coincidentally supposed to have a record setting low temperature tonight of -7, which seems like a game changer, as I thought I was zone 7a, but maybe I'm more like a 6b? It is a little confusing for me to figure out my little "micro climate" in particular because I live so close to the city, I feel like it is always a few degrees warmer here than it is, say at my dad's house just a couple of miles north of here & more in the country. I really should get an outdoor thermometer for my front porch, since that is where all my young potted roses are residing this winter, then I could compare the forecasted temperatures with my own and see what I come up with. Thanks again all! I'll post some photos later in the spring/summer! Jessica...See Moreyellow climber for part shade in z6a/5b
Comments (46)Vaporvac, ac91z6 - I have both Florentina and Princess Alex de Lux, and I highly recommend them both. Florentina I've had for about 4 years and it's an enthusiastic bloomer all season with entirely cane hardy survival in an average zone 5 spot. The blooms are very full and dark red and it's among my favorite climbers these days. PadL is newer, since she just went in last spring, but I can already tell she's a typically enthusiastic Kordes rose. She's putting out canes in every direction trying to elbow wimpy neighbors out of the way, and I've seen clusters of those thickly petaled blooms off and on all season. She hasn't gotten to her third season yet so her repeat isn't all that frequent, but I don't expect that in a rose's second year. I think she had some but not all surviving cane over the winter, which is typical of most of my roses. Both were from Palatine for me, and both have done extremely well. Cynthia...See Morerosaceae
