Climbing Rose and Clematis for an trellis over a gate
Comments (6)For a big pink rose blossoms with fantastic re-bloom I would grow 'Susan Louise' as of April 5, 2013 it is available from vintagegardens.com The blooms are a bit bigger than a tea saucer on a mature sized plant, and are pink and cream. The outer petals are a more saturated pink which gives interest to the blossom. Here in the San Francisco Bay area 'Susan Louise' is one of the most disease resistant of all roses, and never needs spraying. I would not put jackmanni with it on a regular sized arbor, as the rosebush is large enough, but if I wanted to see purple and pink, in spring I'd plant fragrant purple sweet peas with it. I have never seen a photo that has done the plant and the bloom justice, it really is special, floriferous and blooms fully here in winter, as well in the other 3 seasons.

Comments (3)HF Young is a nice clematis as is Ramona. I think a blue or even a darker purple would be pretty so long as it is not an aggresive one that will take over your rosebush. Blue Ravine, Daniel Deronda, Yamato, Silmakivi. I have the same rosebush but it was not speckled last year, maybe it will be better this year. Theresa...See MoreWhich clematis for climbing roses?
Comments (16)Gayle..I am thrilled you are seeing the vigor and beauty of Clematis "Ramona"..she is so underestimated and talked about one of the wonderful Pruning group 2's IMHO. I have clematis "Rhapsody" but he doesn't seem as vigorous or floriferous as "Ramona" BUT that may be because he is in more shade..I am considering moving him..maybe someone with him located in more sun can speak differently about his attributes? I also have clematis "Crystal Fountain" which is in year two for me..she was wonderful this year..I have her container grown with a drip system to her pot..she hasn't gotten very tall for me..only about 4-5 feet tall..tho mine is in morning sun and afternoon shade.. Climbing rosa "Lady Banks" is a huge vigorous one time bloomer and I would suggest planting a pruning group 3 if I was you..Purples and blues both look fabulous with yellow and call me kinky but I love red with yellow roses too..I have climbing rosa "Teasing Georgia" companioned with "Barbara Harrington" & "Mme Julia Correvon"..two deliciously vigorous reddish pruning group 3's...Jeanne...See MoreA Rose to Climb with Clematis
Comments (12)I confess, I am an ignorant gardener. I always seem to have pretty flowers, roses among them, but I give all the credit to the plant's ability to do what it was born to do. I am simply an eager, willing host. I say this to let you all know that I don't have a clue about my role as caretaker. The only thing I know to do is prune roses back twice a year. I've never grown a clematis irisgal, so I don't know if I should or how I should, prune it. I usually look to the internet to learn what to do with a particular flower after I get it. Houzz is new to me but it looks like a great place to learn the things I need to know to grow even more beautiful roses, bushes, flowers and trees. I'm hoping to find a forum or two on clematis here. It would be great if I didn't have to use a fungicide, cecily. And I will look into what to do about thrips and botrytis. We had a very wet spring and summer this year. So the roses may do better next year. Thank you very much for your advice and help. I appreciate it. ~ Annie...See Morebeckington
