Climbing Roses
I'm looking for climbing roses available locally, I have a rambler but it is very slow to rebloom. The only climber I have is fourth of july. Any others available commonly?

Re: Climbing Roses
Abraham Darby can also be grown as a climber to 8ft or more. Benjamin Britten maybe 10 feet or more. Crown Princess Margaretta, Don Juan, Graham Thomas, Teasing Georgia are all good. My personal favorites are Abe Darby and Golden Celebration. I am now trying Strawberry Cream Twirl which looks promising with hybrid tea sized flowers on a climbing rose. I'm sure there are dozens of others but you need to look at your preference for color first and then decide which ones are in your options. I am also trying Nahema.

Re: Climbing Roses
Ramblers are huge (even upto 30-40 feet) and only bloom once but that is profuse blooming. They can be left on the ground to ramble away. Climbers are smaller some only 8-10 feet and they can be continuous blooming but will likely not have a massive single flush of flowers.
