yellow climbing rose
 

Can anyone recommend a yellow climbing rose to climb up a wall and around a
doorway please? My intention was to plant one either side of the door and
get them to meet over the top so I'm not after anything too rampant, more
like 8-10'. I'd like it to be repeat flowering, heavily scented with full,
large flowers of the old rose, rather than hybrid tea shape. (Have tried D
Austin but can't find anythign with fits those criteria except Pilgrim and
I've got one of those so wanted a different one.) Thanks in advance,

Gloire de Dijon is fragrant and flowers from July to September. It is
a buff yellow and of the tea rose type. It's a major favourite of mine
- wonderful plant.

Maigold? It's (almost) single flowered rather than "full", but very
beautiful. If you dead head the first flowering you'll get another
later.

I was just going to suggest that, we get a second flush without the
deadheading must like us :~)
