Don Juan/Golden Shower/other Question
Hi All,
I'm told that the Don Juan climbing rose will have flowers from Spring thru Summer to Fall and is very fragrant. This is precisely what I am looking for except that I would prefer a lighter color than deep red. Is there another climber that offers blooms over several seasons and is very fragrant. I was bemused to see a variety called Golden Shower at my favorite local discount garden center. The spot I have in mind would have filtered afternoon sun - I'm in Las Vegas Nevada so this is probably like Full Sun anyplace else. :-) Jay |

It has a very light, rosy fragrance. But it is very vigorous and stays in bloom here in my Zone 7 garden. The perfect, high-centered hybrid tea shaped blooms are great for cutting. Once it is in the ground for a couple of years it throws long straight stems, great for cut flowers. It holds its flowers and the blooms are lovely for days. The red stays true and deep red. If you do not want red, I would not plant this rose. This is precisely what I am looking for except that I would prefer a lighter color than deep red.

You were not bemused, you were amused. Is yellow the color you want? |
