I'm not sure what zone Alex Ng is in, but in the south, Cherokee Rose would
grow 75 feet or more up into pine trees etc. Pretty white blossoms in
spring - but only one bloom time. Devlish thorns however. In spite of its
name, it's a native of China, escaped into the wilds in the southeast.

Hi,

Got an idea. The cedar hedges that seperate b/w my neighbor's property
are getting too boring. So, I thought about buying climbing rose that
will climb onto the cedar hedge to give it some colour. But when I look
at the climbing rose bushes, the rose branches are actually quite thick
and I wonder whether it will collape the cedar hedges down.

So, is climbing rose on cedar hedge a bad idea?

Thx

Rose canes do not grab onto anything and "climb." To grow well,
most roses need a lot of maintenance and lots of sun. Honey suckle
might be a better idea, but personally I can't see the improvement of
a cedar hedge.
