Re: climbing rose

In my opinion you give up nothing. A lot of the "new" roses were developed with no thought to frageance, so they may have little, if any. There are beautiful scented roses as well. I am addicted to walking out and being hit by a wave of fragrance, be it rose or daphne or lilac or ... you get the idea. I have a few unscented roses, but many more that are. I am definitely a fan of own-root roses. If they freeze to the ground, you get back the same rose from the roots. They tend to be smaller initially, but within a few years are going strong. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Franzman" <dfranzma@pacbell.net>

Hi Judy

I do like fragrant. What do you give up by getting fragrant roses
typically? Thank you for the offer. Let me see how this growing season
plays out and then if its ok with you I'll ask again later in the
summer.

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.

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
