    Oh my goodness, Pam! How glorious!! Keep 'em coming. I am dying to share this on Facebook, but I'll let you do the honors.

    These are stunning, Pam. I've never seen a Cl. Gruss an Aachen and that is the prettiest sight. Cl. Snowbird is as beautiful as its name. I have a feeling you have many roses that many of us haven't seen or even heard about. More, please.

    We don't have climbing roses in zone 5a, so that's a real treat for me. Don Juan is amazing! They all are, what a celebration of life. Thanks for posting.

    Wonderful garden and gorgeous shots, Pamela! Thank you! Might you have the opportunity to shoot some foliage, wood, prickles, but and bloom comparison shots to enhance the Yellow Antique Rose thread from a few weeks back, please? Granted, Showbird has some yellow but bleaches white. But, it would be a nice comparison to see those traits from a mature Climbing Snowbird with those of the yellow antique. Thanks! Kim

    They are all so beautiful. But, that Cl. Snowbird is soooo beautiful. If only I had unlimited chainlink fence!

    Lovely, each and every one. You truly do have walls of roses.

    Thank you for posting these magnificent flowers. My roses are just beginning to open. As in 5-6 blooms. Such a fun time.

    Kim, I'll see what I can do.

    These and the earlier photos are such a testament to your vision, patience and skill. Absolute inspiration.

    I especially love the climbing Snowbird. Snowbird the shrub is wonderful but Snowbird the climber is sublime.

    Beautiful! I so love seeing pictures of your magical garden!

    It's always a pleasure to see a well-grown 'Peace, Cl'. It's bad reputation is pervasive, but, IMO, undeserved. I've not grown the bush form for many years, but hope never to be without the climber.

    Your GaA is spectacular -- and ROBUST! It's doubtful that mine will reach those proportions, but I think I must now reconsider how I've been describing its growth habits to other gardeners.

    I hope you'll consider posting these fine photos on HMF -- esp. those of GaA and 'Tiffany, Cl.' Presently, photos there of those two don't illustrate their climbing potential.

    Windeaux, Thank you for reminding me to go to HMF, My guess is that your Climbing Gruss an Achen will look like mine soon. Climbing Peace does have disease problems, but i don't think it's hopeless. In a mild summer it even reblooms. It really is a special thing.

    Pam, what do you think of Climbing Tiffany? I was thinking of trying to mix it with a Climbing Angel Face or a Climbing Blue Girl (If I could find one).

    Is it prolific??

    Love 'em all--but especially Cl. Gruss an Aachen and Cl. Tiffany.

    Need I say, you have a wonderful garden! What kind of supports are you growing these on, or could they be grown freestanding? I don't have many large-flowered climbers and don't know much about them. Are yours grafted or ownroot? Thanks,
    Melissa
