The message m
from Tim Challenger "timothy(dot)challenger(at)apk(dot)at" contains
these words:

I have a garden gate over which I'd like to grow a rose on a trellis.
The wall/gate is north facing and gets sunlight early in the morning, but
nothing during the day of course.
The spot is also quite windy.
Winters here are quite cold, say like north England or Scotlandm, with
plenty of snow. The summers can be very warm.

Does anyone have any ideas for a rose that might feel at home here?
One with a scent would be nice but not vital. I'm a bit baffled by the
wealth of choice and don't really know where to start.

You could take a look at one called Alistair Stella Gray. It has
sprays of exquisite double buttery yellow flowers and performs over a
very long period, very hardy and healthy. It is scented but not very
strongly. Mine is growing in a very windy situation, on a cliff
overlooking the sea, on a northfacing trellis erected at the end of a
wind-tunnel.

Janet.
