Re: rose help please

Well Theresa, since we already have 2 Sombeuil, I talked with the Hort Ed
and he said it doesn't have to be white.  (Which previously he had insisted
on - geez...)  He prefers not to duplicate plants.  So I've ordered one
called Antique '89 - described as: a kordesii climbing rose, salmon-coral
pink, globular flowers produced on old and new canes.  Truly amazing vigor,
reaching 6-9 ft in one season.  As a bonus, this pillar rose has beautiful
foliage. Reaches 8-12 ft, Zone 5, Bourbon.
