Re: climbing rose

Maybe look for a rambler rather than a true climbing rose. The canes are shorter. I have Golden Showers on its own roots, so far not hard to keep to a manageable size. If you want fragrant, Gertrude Jekyl is a gangly thorny beauty that needs to be tied up to something, blooms all along the stems. If you want a start, I can send a stem later this summer. Mr Lincoln gets to be about 8 feet for me, too. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Franzman" <dfranzma@pacbell.net>

Hi Donna
Glad to hear your weather is finally breaking. It's been a long one for you folks. 

I did think of Clematis in fact. I killed one that I had in a pot
several years back or BATOTT (Before A Touch of the Tropics) Lol!
Anyway, so you plant three together? I will give that some thought. Are
all climbing roses huge? I don't want to constantly fight the thing.

no suggestion on the rose. Every time I get a climber it tries to take over the world...or at least more space than I allowed. 

Have you thought of clematis? I plant three together, and early, mid and
late season, so it is blooming most of my season, which is allot shorter
than yours.

 Hey again

Ok, second rose question. I'm looking for a climbing rose (possibly) to
climb up a trellis along my house. I don't want a huge one as the
trellis is about 8' tall and 4' wide. Also looking for a rebloomer.
South wall of my house. Any suggestions? If you have a better suggestion
than a rose would love to hear it.


Thanks

DF
