I would never give up my Venosa Violacea but I don't have Walenburg to compare.

Venosa Violacea wins hands down!!..I have three...Jeanne

Oh good, then VV stays. Poor spouse - I told him I was going to grow pole beans on the arbor. I think I can still do that on one side, at least for a few years.

VV for sure. I don't have Walenburg, but I would not give up VV. I have two.

I have Sweet Autumn on the arbor at the entrance to my garden, but I need to make a change or learn how to control it better. Do you have any suggestions? I have a climbing rose on one side that never grows longer than 4'. I think it needs a southern or a CA climate.

I recognize your name from posts several years back. Are you the lady with beautiful roses and daylilies?

Thank you. Jane

Hi Jane!
I used to post more in the roses and the daylilies forums. I have about 300 daylilies and over 400 roses. I'm trying not to go so overboard on clematis.

I'm about to go out and put more Rustoleum on the new arbor.
