Climbing/rambling Rose - Which one ?
Hi all
I have a south facing wall (front of house) that I would like to grow a rose up. Could anybody recommend rose type ? Thanks I would like a red rose that flowers as much as possible for as long as possible ! (and one that is not prone to disease) I saw one in a gardening book called "Dublin Bay" that looked lovely I also wondered if anyone could recommend any good web sites for rose nurseries that I could paroose through. I've never owned a rose plant, the two houses I've had didn't have any roses in at all. I can vaguely remember my parents putting manure around roses ? So any advice of how to prune and feed them would be appreciated. Thanks Pippa |

Short and petite or hugely rambling, short flowering season but exquisite blooms, long flowering season and o.k. blooms, a plethora of perfumes to match the plethora of colours. Indeed, there must be a rose to satisfy even those with a prejudice against roses. Pippa, you are right though. Some have a certain notoriety for being disease prone and/or other bad habits. So when you think you have decided, let the newsgroup know - there may be some evil gossip about it, whether through actual experience or from hearsay.

Hi, My local nursery is http://www.roses.uk.com/ otherwise known as Cocker's Roses - renowned throughout the NE of Scotland. They do an excellent mail order service, and their roses are hardy - they have to be to survive here! Chris S |

All my old favourites & more besides. I'm starting from scratch again with this garden, all it has is one large cherry tree & lots of wall space. I've just "spent" an absolute fortune at both places but have to whittle them down to something sensible before I dare to click on the "order" buttons. Have you been able to stop at just one, Pippa?

Alicia Gulp.... I know what I'm like when I get onto the Amazon website! I've just had a look at the websites suggested and they look brilliant - decisions, decisions ... (where's my husbands credit card...?) Thanks everyone - I'll post back when i've made a decision and (fingers crossed) it'll enjoy a happy healthy life in my front garden. Cheers Pippa |
