I am trying to remember the name of the pink climbing rose that was
over the front of the House we had in Hastings in the early 50's,
My mind has gone blank
Any ideas?

New Dawn? Everyone had it in the 1950's

That name doesn't ring a bell, the plant was all over the front of the
house up to the roof when we moved in in 1953 so it must have been
several years old at that time.
]It took a very severe cutting back very well and was still growing
there when we moved away in the early 70's.

Albertine or Madam Gregoire Stachelin, but there are an awful lot of big
blousy pink climbing roses
