[Rose-list] Pruning Experiment

**"* <r*@transport.com>**

What climber did you plant near along your house, Julie?  Rose canes
that don't need to replace your ''climbing stock" you can cut at 8-24
inches giving you blooms at the ''bare ends" of the base.  Clematis
are also a nice disquise though.  What color of Clematis did you put
with your rose? 

I just added a clematis (one my friend had ''extra starts'' of and
forgot what it was called) to my Constance Spry (just now has buds)
on a large arbor in my rose garden.  This climbing rose is light to
medium pink with yellow stamens and blooms beautifully for 2 months. 
The clematis, which was blooming at her house is purplish-blue with a
cream-colored cupped center. So the clematis will bloom first then my
rose later. 

What other things do folks have growing with their climbing roses? 

Sincerely,
