Re: climbing rose

re "The Fairy". Mine wins a prize at the county fair every time I enter it. Not fragrant, but looks good all summer as long as I nip off the dead blooms once or twice. I chopped it back to 2-3 foot canes this spring. Had to get in there to dig some daylillies I wanted to move. So far it's sulking. Hope I didn't kill it. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Cornergar@aol.com>

David, Two old and reliable climbers that I recommend to clients because they 
have few thorns are 'Zephirine Drouhin' and 'Lady Banks' yellow. The 'Lady
Banks' white variety has good scent. I have ordered 'Aromatherapy' from Jungs. I like to order roses from them as they specify which ones are "own root". Too 
many bad experiences with grafted roses! I love all kinds of salvia with
roses...also nepeta 'Walkers Low' .
I wonder if the 'Fairy Rose', a rebloomer with millions of small pink flowers would work on a trellis. Mine lean on a fence as they have long gangly canes 
if not pruned back. Very thorny, though. Kathy
