[Rose-list] Re: climber suggestions requested

Julie,  Here's some of my favorites off of the Roseraie at Bayfields 
site.  These are hardy in your area (zone 5).  I included the link to the 
climber page and the links to photos.

HENRY KELSEY 7679 R.kordesii hybrid x complex hardy seedling 1984 7x5 C P 
R. Left to
itself, this rose will make a large arching shrub 6 feet high and 8 feet 
across. Tied up it will go up to
as much as 8 feet high. It would train very well on a split rail fence. 
Recurrent vivid red semi-double
blooms with yellow stamens. Very hardy (@) []

JOHN DAVIS 7790 R.kordesii x(Red Dawn x Suzanne) Svejda, Ag Canada 1986 
8x5 
C P R or lax shrub. With Kordesii, New Dawn, R.laxa and R.spinosissima in 
the mix you'd have to
expect performance, and you'd be right. Nearly everblooming with double 
orchid pink blossoms that
fade to light pink. Very hardy. (@) []

VIKING QUEEN 8300 White Dawn x L.E.Longley, Phillips, U.of MN 1963 10' C. 
Shows
hardiness not to be expected from the antecedents. Offers a gorgeous HT 
type bloom of lovely
medium pink fragrant blooms recurrently. []

AVON 7520 Poulsen 1991 1x3. G Pink Buds open to pale blush semi-double 
recurrent blooms
with yellow stamens.

These are just a few that caught my attention.  :)
Their list of climbers, ramblers and pillars is at:
http://www.roseraie.com/long.html
and the main page is at:
http://www.roseraie.com/

I use this site a lot for my planning and dreaming because it's a Maine 
nursery so the roses are pretty hardy and they have such a big selection 
with photos of most.  No affiliation, and I actually haven't ordered from 
them yet, so I can't guarantee quality! :)

Hope that helps.
Alicia
