Default How do climbing roses climb?

As far as I can tell there is no such thing as a climbing rose (as in a
vine which will twine, or things with suckers to attach to walls).

The rose is a rambling rose (remember the song?) which rambles about all
over the place. If you tie it into a framework it will grow upwards and if
you lead it into the branches of a tree it will ramble all over the place
but without artificial support it just falls over.


Would you consider calling a climbing/rambling rose without any support
at all ground cover?
