Climbing blaze rose query

7 years ago

Hello in 2017 I bought a climbing rose in the blaze. Afterward I saw the discussion on them about how they did not fare well here in Ontario, Canada. I decided to see what would occur with mine. I had some blooms on it or buds that became blooms when I bought it from my nearby garden center. But when these were finished with it got no more. I covered it up with burlap for the winter. I was surprised to see that it survived. And got new leaves as well as growing up almost to the top of the fence but no buds on it. That was for 2018. I uncovered it this year and again it had survived the winter with getting new leaves on it. This year two of the ladies in our seniors apartments decided to take over doing the gardens out the back and at the side where the fence was (seeing that there was nobody that had been hired to do them after the last incident were fired when they took out my drift rose and two of the lady's hydrangea bushes in that one garden. And yet they left weeds galore on the other side of the garden. Not to mention they were forever cutting off the tulips or irises that had flowered as well as doing a number on 3 of my rhubarb plants out the back. When the fellah saw them he went out there and was up in arms at what they had done. Get this he asked the boss why they had removed the rhubarb and didn't she know what it was. Would you believe she told him she didn't know what rhubarb was!!! ) Once the women took over they are doing a fantastic job. Today I noticed there are 4 buds on my blaze rose!!!! They also pruned it as well. Not as high as it was but it is getting taller again. I remember when I first bought it--the info that came with it said it was grown in Canada!! So my query is what variety of blaze rose is it if it has survived our winters since 2017 and now for the first time since I bought it has buds on it. Here is a photo of one of the 4.
