Hi Carleen,

They probably would not be blooming together in most years.  This year is
weird that the lilacs are still hanging on.

I would not recommend it for an arbor, by it's growth habit.  It is
technically a "climber," but mine is fairly stiff.  It is training atop the
4' chain link fence okay, but it wouldn't want to "wind" around an around
well.  It really is more like a tall shrub that just needs a little support!

Doesn't the ''Dr." have yellow stamens?

I can't remember.  I do remember goldish roses were what I thought to put
with it.

No Graham would be nice.  And he would tolerate a little shade too.

For mine is a little old fashioned garden where the flowers come
together to praise the Lord and teach all who look upon them to do
likewise.
