Hi---I am going to get a climber rose for my back fence and was wondering
which ones everyone likes. I am in zone 9 or 10--southern Calif....I have
the notorious "Iceberg" on my list and Dublin Bay.
Other suggestions.... (I already own Joseph's Coat)

Depends on how tall your fence is, and how much "footprint"
room you have (for canes to get in your way while walking by
or mowing). I have Champney's Pink Cluster along one
fence and it does great, lots of canes, lots of blooms, very
vigorous bush. And it doesn't get too tall, like some of the
other Noisettes I have (which reach 20' or more), but it does
reach at least 6'. I put a wire trellis in front of it because
it tended to droop too much into the driveway.
