Anybody good with species roses? The white flowered climbing rose is
blooming in Southern Louisiana right now. It is awesome along highway 21 in
Covington and also along I-12. I've a close--up of the bloom from a vine on
my property in Baton Rouge. Look in the Local Flora file on the site below.
Tried to get a good pic of the vine's habit, but the undergrowth is too
dense. This rose climbs large trees and cascades with the blossoms facing
out. Very dramatic. Blooms annually in April around here.
If anyone knows the name of this beauty, I'd be very grateful to learn it.
Thanks,

It's rosa lavegata which actually isn't a naitive, but and invasive
foreigner that has naturalized itself throughout the Lower South, much like
multiflora has throughout the Midwest and South. It's tender, and won't
grow much beyond zone 7 unless given winter protection.

Not a climber, but a great flower, scent and profuse blooming all summer in heat
of Texas is Rosa rugosa. I have one and no matter what I do to it, I get
blooms.

Rosa mutliflora. Generally discouraged because it's invasive, but it makes
an excellent tresspasser deterrant. Anyone stepping into a patch will become
snagged, with any struggling making it worse.

This sometimes is called Cherokee rose, because it spread so quickly in the
south that people thought it was native.

Thank you for the information. I wouldn't have guessed it's invasive. The
one on my property has not spread in 8 years. In fact I can't even find it
except during the couple weeks in spring that it is blooming! It has
scrambled up a large tree but it is prettier than most of the vines in the
trees :-)
Thanks again, elizabeth

Thank you!
