Thank you Ladies.

Bayarea_girl, a confession. I didn't realize 'Colette' was a climber. A pesky gopher was residing nearby so I put her in a 5 gal. pot and sunk it. 10 years later and she's under 5 ft. tall (no severe pruning), still in the sunken pot.

Prettypetals, blooms were very apricot the first year! Drats. The following year the peach and pink tones appeared. Your's sounds like she's on her way.

I think i'm going to love her. I only had 2 or 3 blooms on a new young plant last year but this year she is loaded. I've had two blooms so far and they've been peach and pink together. Really really pretty!!

Beautiful Colette! There are so many many climbers I want to have that I just have to settle to admire from other people's rose gardens. Helen
