thanks gardenquilts...social climber is in second and third year with me and i added new dawn this year by impulse before i knew it was ultra thorny. if new dawn doesn't flourish and take with me i will investigate the own root and antique. if new dawn sticks, i will stick with social climber and new dawn. they look good with all clems.
i do not plan to dive into roses as a collector , just the counterpoint of a few and the seasonal interest. i love the clem rose combos i see on the forum, and other places, but can not take up another addiction.
actually don't know why i didn't just buy more social climbers, as it has been my only success with roses to date. i think it is because the plants haven't really gotten huge as i envisioned, but maybe this this year they will "leap". here is a social climber from last year in my garden. with a young ville de lyon clem.
maybe if i were in a little more rose friendly climate....like oregon.......but the texans have good luck with roses too it seems!
