Climbing rose Dublin Bay
Hello all,
Is it possible that a climber can sometimes revert to a non-climbing form? I planted Dublin Bay along with two other climbers a couple of years ago. Fourth of July and Iceberg have reached the top of the pergola and massed on top. Dublin Bay is still only at about the same height as my non-climbing roses, four feet. I really enjoy this rose but boy is it slow to climb. Cheers, Chris |

... Hello all, Is it possible that a climber can sometimes revert to a non-climbing form? I've heard of shrub roses that became climbers but I'm not sure of the other direction.

Dublin Bay is still only at about the same height as my non-climbing roses, four feet. I really enjoy this rose but boy is it slow to climb. Cheers, Chris I'm not familiar with Dublin Bay, but I have a 4 year old Don Juan that's still struggling to reach the top of the arbor, while the New Dawn on the other side reached the top and beyond several years ago. It might be the variety, or something about conditions the plant doesn't like, or maybe the individual plant isn't doing as well as it should for whatever reason. Gail near San Antonio TX Zone 8 |

How is your weather? Around here in MN z4a, people grow Dublin Bay as a shrub or short pillar. It dies back most winters to the snow line or lower and is slow to regrow long canes. Still is regarded as a nice red. Regards, Charles -- Charles Perry Reply to: ** A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand ** |

For an older photos of the pergola (about two years ago) you can check out http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=3.4553 I live in California so the weather not killing the rose to the snow line as mentioned. I live in the foggy San Francisco Bay Area and Dublin Bay is very disease resistant. Anyway, thanks everyone for your comments. I just wanted to follow up and let everyone know that it is worth being patient with Dublin Bay. Cheers, Chris |
