I adore climbing roses, rambling skyward with brilliant bursts of colors. this post is a reference guide for me on what I have growing. I know I am a very visual person, but I think I am also a list person ... in the rose garden I have a hundred foot tunnel planted with climbers, plus 6 tuteurs and various others spread around the property, this is a new garden, all roses were planted last year. I am including notes on how well they are working out for me in the garden with *** for some of my best performers.
above all
very pleased, a vibrant mass of true bright orange, its grown fast, will be a large rose!

not much to look at yet, but I fell in love with this blood red single flower climber so many deacades ago, I first saw it at a wonderful nursery growing up a wooden barn, I was thrilled to be able to buy it from them all these decades later and have spread 3 close to the house.

I find it a quiet unassuming rose so far, I question why I bought it often...

I will always love this harbinger of spring, sprays of mass color, whats not to love! they are large and unruly, fingers crossed I can keep them in line at the new house, my last house turned into a 20'x20' fortress!

a behemoth, if you have space this is a must for the beautiful mass of tiny old fashion fragrant pink blooms! I am trying to control mine at the new house, wish me luck, I love it to much not to be up for the challenge, I have 4!

I didn't really notice this blooming, its at the end of the tunnel, everyone else was so dazzling in full color I think I just skipped basic white by my lack of pictures! I need to visit her more often this summer, now that the spring flush is a thing of the past, I can spend more time enjoying the subtle roses.

this one snuck up on me, one day nothing, next day masses of large pink and white blooms wrapped around its post, it was a show stopper!
