English Roses As Climbers.
A few of the more robust English Roses, when planted against a wall, can be trained as climbers.
They will grow , in cool regions, to about 8 ft tall. In warm areas they can make about 10- 12 ft.
Some of the best are:
"Graham Thomas": The well known yellow award winner, which looks stunning as a climber, particularly against a dark coloured wall.
"Constance Spry": One of the very best and quite tall at 12 ft. In early July, when in full bloom it is a sight to behold. It is once blooming, but to continue the display try growing a late flowering clematis through it. Large peony shaped pink blooms.
"Snow Goose". A healthy climber, with a multitude of small white blooms in flushes all summer.
