    This is cloud 10 . It was beautiful and never had disease last year ! Really looking forward to its fragrant blooms this spring!

    Renea I've showed before but I cannot recommend it enough. There is nothing to not love about it ! Very flexible, vigorous, sweet fragrance , bees enjoy it , almost completely thornless .

    This photo above was its spring flush last year . It has doubled in size since and I can't wait to share with you what this years will be !

    This was blossomtime first year in the ground so not the best photo. It is a huge mess now that i desperately need to move but eeeeek on the thorns !! So pretty otherwise!

    I am very fond of climbers, but not that great with them. But maybe these will give you an idea. These are all good ones for me.

    ALOHA, good spring flush with intermittent blooms thereafter, sets on a few more in the fall, than during the summer.

    ZEPHIRINE DROUHIN, this picture is about three years old, it is huge now.

    DUBLIN BAY, has a big spring flush, then continuous bloom all season

    AMERICA, good spring bloom with intermittent blooms during the season.

    I probably don't have that many full shots of mine. Not sure why. I guess I just always take close-ups! Let's see what I have....

    BERRIES 'N' CREAM - I have it growing laterally along the perimeter fence. It blooms a couple of good flushes per season.


    COMPASSION - One of my favorites! It grows up one side of one of my arbors, with HIGH HOPES on the opposite side. They're both good growers and decent bloomers

    HIGH HOPES

    MORGENGRUSS - Another great climber. It really only blooms one big flush for me, but man-o-man does it pump 'em out like crazy for a few weeks.


    STORMY WEATHER - One of my favorites! I love the range of colors it gets!

    BUTTERSCOTCH - Probably my favorite rose in general. It's the one that started me on my quest for all the oddball-colored roses. It doesn't always bloom all that great, but I still love it... just because the color is so weird and beautiful!


    YELLOW BLAZE aka CL SUNFLARE - A monster plant that grows like a giant octopus. Blooms a good flush in spring, but not much later. Most climbing sports of bush roses don't repeat like roses that are climbers only.

    FOURTH IF JULY - Wow, this pic goes back quite a few yrs! This poor thing is overrun with blackberries right now. Haven't had time to get it cleaned out in several yrs. But it still grows great and blooms well, even thru the berry vines! It's a great rose. (and it's a stripey!!... my fave...)

    Bay Area girl .. your edens are magnificent!! What ?!?! Mine is on its 3rd year and 3rd branch . Haha its own root so I'll let it go for now but yours is really amazing! Is it grafted ?

  • 9 years ago

    Yes, they are grafted on Dr Huey and the pics were taken when they were in their second year. Helen

    I'm not an orange fan but 'Royal Sunset' rings my chimes. I particularly like the aged color with the newer blooms. First rose I could smell at 10 feet.

    Royal Sunset

    Iris gal I also don't love orange either but somehow lady of shallot snuck herself onto my spring orders ! Haha that royal sunset is delicious like a creamsickle !! So beautiful!!

    Helen you reallyhave beautiful edens . I hope I don't have to wait too long for mine to look like that !

    Oh wow, great thread, I wanted to see them too. I don't grow any but want to. Keep em coming. Any advice on a climber that repeats a lot. I have a really long white fence with lots of room for one. Would like it to be fairly disease free since I live on the gulf coast with lost of humidity. I was thinking about fourth of July on Fort.

    Thank you Lily. I think a grafted rose often adds about two years to the rose so my two year roses were actually in their fourth year. Eden is a very healthy and strong rose so yours will catch up pretty fast. Helen
