Re: roses


THeresa, how long / often does the Sombrueil bloom?
I have a very strong red climber, Don Juan, chosen because of its heat tolerance for my western exposure. I have two, planted last spring, and they are going great guns. Flowers are fragrant, dark red.
   Theresa, by the way, how is your jade plant?

I just love my Sombrueil rose. Smells wonderful and has those great flowers with a zillion petals. I also have a climber in back that is a single, but red with a white eye. Very showy. Also I have a climbing Cecil Bruner that blooms through much of the season, but with lots of little flowers. Nice though.

to the ros e growers on the list.....

What would be your favorite climbing rose? Of course, I would love to have it blooming all season, but .....


Seems my staple planting, a rose of sharon, double something or other
bush version rather than made into a stand, has bite the dust! I was
hoping it was just getting a late start, but after further review
tonight... it is dead. Shame, been there for 8 years and didn't give me
alot of grief.


Anyways, trying to think of what to replace it with. Thoughts range
everywhere, but a nice trellis with a climbing rose is kinda winning
out.


Suggestions.. since I am not really a rose grower....?
