rose to be a star

2 years ago

Hello, I’m new to roses and I would be very thankful for a recommendation. I have very
small garden and have limited space. I’m looking for rose to be a main star. Not sure if it exists, Ive been looking long time and can’t decide. I’m looking for climber that I could train on 6’ fence to spread lengthwise as far possible It would need to be blooming continuously, drought resistant (I’m zone 7b) and if it was fragrant that would be amazing. Full to part shade. I was looking at first and batsheba or lady of shallot but since I found out that musk roses are quite forgiving I started to think that maybe lavender lassie (I thought that it meets all the criteria but than I found out it drops leaves and doesn’t really bloom continuously?) I would be very grateful for any recommendations.

    " blooming continuously, drought resistant (I’m zone 7b) and if it was fragrant that would be amazing. Full to part shade. "

    The first three requirements are relatively easily achievable.........the last, not so much. Partial shade is doable but most roses require a minimum of 4 hours of direct sunlight to thrive and produce flowers. Full shade is pretty much a non-starter.
