CecileSo these past few days I've been drooling over the Cecile Brunner pics on rosenotes.com

Needless to say I am thinking seriously of pulling out the flame grape which has finally decided to cover the top of my treated pine arbour and replace it with a suitable climbing rose (one that's good for cutting preferably).

The parrots beat me to the grapes, so a rose would probably a better use of the spot, and the 28s will be just as happy with Rose hips as grapes anyway.

Id be happy if I could get CB to look like the one in the pictures, but is there another rose that would be even better?

I think I'm in zone 10 (very light frost if any) and realy like the look and form of teas. Adam might be appropriate,but would it achieve the same look?

My other arbour is covered with a white wonga-wonga vine which is smothered in flowers in springtime and a rangoon creeper which has taken five years to start looking like something, so a pink to apricot rose would look good. Yellow might be a bit of a color clash. And it has to be fragrant.

What other climbing teas would do the trick?

Or should I just commit to a life of trimming and go for CB?
