I would very much welcome your recommendations for a climbing rose for
a south facing wall about 7 feet wide and 10ft high - repeat flowering
and very fragrant - colour not a consideration - Thanks


Do you want large flowers varieties or small flowered ones? With flowers at
head height or is your priority to cover the wall even if most of the
flowers are at 10ft or more? Are you happy getting on ladders to prune 12ft
tall roses? Would you prefer less vigorous varieties that, say, got to 6 or
8 ft?

Less vigorous up to 8ft repeat flowering and fragrant smallish flowers- thanks
