Viking Queen. Vap recommended and it is wonderful! Give it time to show its stuff!

New Dawn has to be deadheaded. Not the easiest thing to do with a large, sprawling rose.

Quadra repeats well, as does Captain Samuel Holland.

I'm thrilled to hear you are growing this off neglected rose ! From where did you buy yours? Mine is heavily virus and I would like to get a healthy specimen at some point. I actually have 3 of them but they're all the same.

Also, OP, where do you live in zone 6? How are these roses sighted in terms of their son exposure et cetera. Do you deadhead head head your new dawn flush? Eden is not known to be a heavy repeat bloomer but you should get at least 2 out of it. I do not have any experience but it has fascinated me for a little while.

If your New Dawn doesn't repeat, it could have reverted to the rose it sported from, the non repeater, Dr Van Fleet. None of my ND's would repeat in my zone 7. But they were monsters. Diane

Vap, I wasn’t sure if you were talking to me or not but if you were my Viking Queen came from Heirloom in 2019. If mine is virused I have never seen sign of it.

Vaporvac Oh, I thought you meant two blooms. My Eden's third year is coming up. I got one bloom the first year and I'm waiting for the second...

I would recommend Arborose® Quicksilver, a few flashes for me.

When I used to live in Omaha, John Cabot was a great repeat blooming climber. Nasty thorns, but would repeat. No die back.

I'm surprised you could make heads or tails of what I write! FlorentinaIs another good 1... I agree about quicksilver. It does very well for me also. I agree with mad that new dawn needs dead heading. I think many people had doctor van fleet to start with rather than an entire bush of it regarding. Should be reverting.Flee

In my experience most climbing roses reputed to be repeat blooming never bloom enough after the first spring flush. Awakening, Climbing La France, New Dawn, Sombreuil, Viking Queen, etc., all doled out a few blooms and then if I was lucky AND had babied the rose, would get a modest autumn flush. Frankly, I get more satisfaction from climbing annuals. Anyway, the ONE rose that truly had continuous repeat bloom was CLIMBING CLOTILDE SOUPERT, the climbing sport of the polyantha rose of the same name. It had everything. The only rub was the blooms ball in wet cool conditions. I also do not know if it would be hardy to zone 5.

New Dawn has always repeated for me in Z6. I do deadhead after the first flush of bloom.

Rhode Island Red, a.k.a. "Fields of the Wood" should be a good one. I've only grown it in 9b, but HMF rates it to zone 5.

John Davis repeats once for me.

1. Viking Queen is a lovely rose that smells great too! But in my zone 7 garden it gets a lot of blackspot.

2. I understand that Eden takes a few years to settle in before it blooms a lot. I dug mine up for lack of bloom before I heard this.

3. I've never grown New Dawn but a number of years ago people said to get the best rebloom you should deadhead just the spent blooms and not cut back further than that. If what you are doing now is not working it might be worth a try.

Florentina, Rosebay, and Quicksilver all repeat for me here in the Hudson Valley 6b.

Both 'Eden' and 'New Dawn' are poor choices for a cold climate if rapid, generous repeat bloom is what you want: neither will do that, even under the best of circumstances. Deadhead 'New Dawn' all you like, but after its first flush, you'll get a smattering of blooms here and there for the rest of the year. It barely qualifies as a repeat-blooming climber, IMO.

I'd expect that most all Zone 5 hardy climbers will behave as Patrick has described above: baby the heck out of them and you'll get a modest second flush at the end of the summer.

You see, "climbing" roses have a built-in compromise: they inherently sacrifice bloom quantity/frequency for making new growth. They can't do both at once, and they favor new growth. So with climbers - especially noticeable in cold climates - you're going to get a big first flush, but what you get after that is modest at best. I don't know any climbers suitable for your climate that will do better than two flushes per year: one at the start, and a much smaller one towards Fall (with maybe one or two blooms between).

If you lived in a milder climate, there are some great choices in the Climbing Polyantha class ('Clotilde Soupert' has been mentioned) such as 'Renae', which is unusually generous with bloom all through the growing season. The Noisettes with Tea/China/moschata in their makeup are often very generous with bloom (I'm thinking of 'Crepuscule' here), but again, only suited to warmer climates.

One rose you may want to consider is (yes, I know - you've heard it before!) 'Darlow's Enigma', which is likely to do well in your zone. Here, it grows into a 15 X 15 rounded ball (in full sun), but it's also trainable as a climber, especially in a spot that gets only half a day's light, where it will grow taller than it is wide. Mine is constantly in flower from May to November. No, it's not the showiest rose in terms of bloom form, size or color, but it's a surprisingly good performer in every way.

A couple of others to consider were bred specifically for cold climates: 'William Baffin' and 'Isabella Skinner', the latter having a very good reputation for hardiness and decent repeat.

Sorry I meant DUBLIN Bay not Rosebay below!

Senior's moment, posted this on an older thread by mistake.

Another that you may wish to consider is "Isabella Skinner", aka "Victorian Memory. The link is to a thread from 9 or 10 years ago here on the forum. It is another Canadian bred rose hybridized by Dr. F. L. Skinner in Roblyn Manitoba. It was lost to commerce for a long time.

We now have three plants at the Summerland Ornamental Gardens in our heritage rose collection. Ours came from High Country Roses, after years of trying to get them into Canada. Ours are too young to give you an honest opinion on, but I can tell you that the blooms have an attractive, blousy, antique look, hence the Victorian Memory pseudonym I expect, and that they are very fragrant. It is still rather rare rose, but is said to be a true repeat bloomer for cold climates. And that as you are finding out is extremely rare.

I went through the same quest for a climbing rose as you when I lived in zone 4b Ontario. Good luck.

Cheers, Rick

windstruck, I would pay a lot of attention to what Paul B. says above - he knows what he is talking about. Also, I looked up Darlow's Enigma on HMF, and in the first few pages of photos, you will find pics of it from Germany and Poland, which I believe are mostly zone 6 with some 5.

I'm with Paul re: New Dawn - it really is more of a once bloomer. I have a friend who used to grow it in zone 7, and even there, no repeat to speak of. The flowers are really beautiful, but she is a thorny beast!

I'm in zone 6 (probably b) and here are some climbers that do great for me as far as rebloom is concerned. Not sure how that would translate to zone 5, but the ones I'm about to give you should at the very least survive your climate. And possibly rebloom well for you, too?

Felix LeClerc, Capt. Samuel Holland, Cape Diamond.

There's also Parade, which is really tireless, bloom-wise, for me, though I'm not sure of it's hardiness in zone 5. And also, years ago I got something called "Red Dawn" from Pickering. I've never seen it offered anywhere else, but if you can find it, it is a great rebloomer (it's not red, it's deep pink. Sort of Zephirine Drouhin color).

Isabella Skinner has so far not done a lot of blooming for me, but she's a young plant. Plus, I may have her in too much shade - she's advertised as "shade tolerant" but perhaps I overdid it.

Glad to see you posting bellarosa especially You're beautiful John Davis. I often reference the picture with John Davis On 1 side of the door And another hardy Canadian whose name I forget on the other.

I would have included 'John Davis' but mine has never exceeded 3x3 feet after 18 years. But I think mine doesn't like it's location or something.

I don't live in zone 5b-6a although I grew up there. I do remember as a little girl that my grandmother grew a red rambler (maybe Crimson Rambler or offspring) that bloomed for about a month every summer in June/July. Keeping in mind that the growing season was 4 mos. or so, one month was a long blooming time.

But for a repeater, would Felix Leclerc work? Remember Nippstress from Nebraska? She grew it. It is also offered by Freedom Gardens and High Country Roses and I'll bet if you contacted them, someone would be glad to tell you how well- or if- it reblooms.

John Cabot was a great repeat blooming climber.

We currently have two very established JCs in our garden and the first flush of flowers starting in June (and lasting 4 weeks) is incredible but neither has has more than a handful of repeat blooms later in the season. You are fortunate 'Joseph'.

One thing to keep in mind with DARLOW'S ENIGMA (Hybrid Musk, Mike Darlow, U.S., 1993) are the wicked thorns but this can also be said for Awakening, New Dawn, Sombreuil, etc. The hardy Kordesii climbers are also beasts. On the plus side, Darlow's Enigma is fragrant and practically bulletproof against disease in the Mid-Atlantic states. It also sets attractive hips.

Felix LeClerc repeats beautifully for me. I have 2 of them - both are great and generous. I love John Cabot, but he does a big spring flush and then just the occasional scattering of bloom. For me. But then, I'm pretty stingy with fertilizer, maybe he repeats more with more baby-ing. The 3 I listed, Felix, Cape Diamond, and Capt. Samuel Holland, repeat very well for me in spite of my cheapness with the fertilizer. Also Parade (but not sure it's hardy for zone 5). Another great one is Purple Skyliner, blooms beautifully and often but I don't think it'd be hardy in zone 5. If you are zone 6 you should be ok.

I didn't think 'Cape Diamond' exceeded 4.5 feet in height, or am I mistaken? The OP is looking for a climber, presumably of significant height.

My Cape Diamond is about 10 ft tall, but maybe it would be shorter in zone 5. And maybe the OP wants a bigger climber. But if a small one would suit, it might be worth considering.

Thank you everyone for the replies! I will take everything into consideration and start planning for next spring. Very excited to see what will work next.

Dream Land from Palatine Roses.

Summers, mine experiences die back in harsh wintwinterwinterwr, although she grogrows back quickly.gorveousnn. though.ws

Mine don’t dieback, but they are in the backyard next to a deck. Now our zones all changed, winter is getting warmer. Hopefully yours won’t dieback this winter.

Summer do you get any fragrance from Dreamland?

A few Dream Land are at our previous home, my old garden, It has fragrance, but not strong.
