It is hard to tell from your picture how high that cute flower bed is off the ground. Do you want to plant the climbing rose at the bottom of the rock wall? How high is the wall? Does that area get any direct sun at any time of day, or is it dappled shade all the time? Also, where are you geographically ? (what part of what state?).

The answers will help us make useful suggestions - different roses are happy in different conditions, and even grow to different sizes in different climates.

Hello,

(I hope this is not a double post – it looks like my initial response didn't post.)

I want to plant the roses at the bottom of the Rockwall and have them grow up the rock wall. The wall is 5 feet wide and 4 feet tall.

The area gets some sun in the morning, and then dappled sun/shade in the afternoon.

I am in the Northeast – Rhode Island.

thanks for any suggestions.

Well, its a deep pink, not a true red, but Vanity is a climber and does really well for me in partial shade. Pretty much blooms all summer, though of course its spring and fall flushes are the best. Check it out on HelpMeFind and see if it might work for you! Vanity
