Re: roses

Sombruiel has a heavy bloom in spring. If I actually ever get out to deadhead it, it will bloom again but much less so later in summer. My jade is finally moving forward. I cut a ton of it off, until I was well into healthy plant and that seems to work. Also, it got warm and dry here, so I'm sure the fact it wasn't being rained on also helped.

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....?
