Choose the Right Climbing Rose

[@kittenkorleone2918]

The David Austin Gertrude Jekyll does wonderfully as a climber or a shrub. The breeder sells both angles. I love them so much, I'm putting more in. Its the only rose that I can smell the final single blossom of the year as I walk by it this mid October in zone 6 New England! It's scent is truly amazing! Not a single black spot or mildew. Actually the aphids didn't even bother it! You won't be disappointed in your purchase

This was a lovely video, your love of roses shines through, and I am especially glad you stress a lot of scented roses. For a long while, this wonderful characteristic was almost gone, in exchange for big blooms etc. thank you so much. Growing roses has been my hobby all my life, at 72 years old, my favourites are Pink Peace and Climbing Pink Peace. They are so hard to find lately. Also hard to find but deliciously scented is Papa Meilland. Thanks for this enjoyable video. Windsor, Ontario, city of roses.

I hope I got the climber, but don´t know yet cos I only planted it 2 weeks ago) Two more beautiful climbers: 1. once-blooming rosa pimpinellifolia double yellow, blooming very early in the year, and with the brightest lemon yellow blooms, 8-10ft tall but unscented, alas; 2. and Veilchenblau, once-blooming, with spectacular droves of small violet blooms, also unscented, but growing 20ft and more.

Jason, I am in the process of growing two Kiss Me Kate, and it is a strong and eager rose. I need one more rose, and I think it will be either Forentina or Pretty in Pink Eden. A client of mine purchase Pretty in Pink and stuck it in the ground, and I had to replant it on a trellis because, of course, it climbs. I watch it perform, and it really rocks. It is absolutely gorgeous, being a darker pink than Eden. I have grown Tess of the D'urbeviles by Austin as a climber, and it's a great rose, but it grows both three to four feet and seven to eight feet, making it the kind of tose that is better in a corner. If you are looking for a "mannerly climber", I can heartily recommend the first rose I ever grew, McGredy's Dublin Bay. It lacks scent but has everything else. And interestingly, it is hugely popular in Europe, and easy to find.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

[@Thunderbird68-i2f]

Love your videos! In my experience, many clients are disappointed to learn that many climbers on the market such as 'Eden' and 'Don Juan', are not cane hardy to cold winter areas of Canada and suffer severe cane damage as a result. They generally don't survive on their natural roots and require a graft that must be buried deep. Also needing serious winter protection on top of that, if they're envisioned to adequately fill a whole garden structure, they may still suffer substantial damage regardless of any winter protection they receive. Eden and Westerland can be treated as small shrubs in colder zones since they winterkill right down to the ground. The following climbers (or large shrubs that can be trained into climbers) are suited to cold Canadian zones 3-5 on their natural roots. Depending on micro-climate and winter-type, wind and freezing rain can do a nasty number on roses. The canes of these varieties should hold up better or suffer less or minimal winter damage. *Canadian Explorer Climbers:* Sir Thomas Lipton, William Baffin and its sport, Lucy Irene, John Cabot, John Davis, Quadra, Henry Kelsey, Captain Samuel Holland, Louis Jolliet, Alexander Mackenzie. *Additional Climbers:* Albertine, Lilian Gibson, Polestar, Ramblin' Red, Repens Alba, Above and Beyond, Carmenetta, Dortmund, Rosatoum Utersen, Alchymist, Fruhlingsgold, Ames Climber, Cherry Frost and sometimes New Dawn. If anyone else has more to add to this zone appropriate list, please do chime in... 🌹

1. Ghislaine pronounced Gillarn; 2. Nahema is a gorgeous climber, beautifully scented and a clear pale pink, repeat flowerer. :) I have just seen someone else mention Naheema below - I'm in rural Victoria

Mill Pond Botanical Garden in Delaware's favorite climber is the thornless old Bourbon rose, 'Therese Drouhin' a large deep pink, abundant repeat bloomer, to 12 feet, somewhat disease resistant, and fragrant. No thorns is very welcome on an arch way or where visitors pass close and at some risk of snag on thorny roses.

Thanks Michael. Could it be Zephirine Drouhin? Good to hear it does well in Delaware - it's an old favorite! In my climate it's too prone to foliar disease - and regularly drops all its leaves to mildew and blackspot. I wish we could grow it well!

Eden rose is so beautiful

[@rayoflight1102]

Westerland is my fav for years,it doesnt act like rambler rose,but like big shrub in my climate,by the way smells insanely good.I can spend hours by smelling him.I do also have Pierre de ronsard and it is have spectacular flowers!Rosarium eutersen doing well,it is also has shrubby habit.Cant wait to see first flowers on my sally holmes. I would say Decor Arlequin is doing greately as rambler,it grows strongly veryically,and dont even reguire supporting, I dont have any but I know spot where he is grows even in extremal conditions. If we talks about once blooming plants, than absolute champion on that category is Flammentanz,many old cotteges has that variety,and its still goes from garden to garden

Thanks for another great video Jason. I live on the olympic penninsula, not too different from your area. I have a Kiss Me Kate that is going on it's 4th summer. It had two large very stiff canes. I managed to curve them. I got a few blooms last year but it was disappointing. This year i cut off one of the large canes and it is putting up a nice bunch of lower growth now. The upper cane put out a lot of laterals with lots of new growth. Today i was out there looking at it and there is maybe one or two buds! That is it. I cut off the tops of the laterals that are not producing buds. I hope this stimulates some bud formation but i am thinking something else is going on as i had the same problem on a Quicksilver and part of my Laguna. Too much rain? Too cold? Wrong fertilizer? I just use organic stuff-compost mixed with washed cow manure from a local nursery. What else can i try??? Thanks

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Organic compost & cow manure are fine. Cold and rain can definitely influence it, but then you'd probably see it vary when we get our dry/sunny stretches later in summer. I think staying on top of removing older canes is a good practice on your part, and will likely result in younger, more productive canes that you can more easily bend towards horizontal to encourage flower initiation.

Thank you for this!!!
