Re: Seeking climbing rose with hips recommendation -Reply

Thanks.  I didn't realize Dortmund put on hips.
 Round?  How large?

Dortmund: good climber, good red hips, pretty
bunches of single red blooms
with white eye zone and with brown stamens,
spring and fall bloom,
fragrance is non existant in the spring, weakly
detectable in the fall.
Itis a Kordesii hybrid, so it is very resistant. It
has power thorns. I
would not grow a clematis through any rose
climber for that reason. But
the combination you describe does sound
attractive. Judy Sylvester zone 5
