Your favourite climbing or rambling rose

[PermanentTemporary]

So I’m an easy sell as I’ve just had the David Austin bare root roses leaflet sent and am now imagining a huge tumble of roses in ooh, about five tears time…

I’ve lived in a house with a Malvern Hills in the garden which was spectacular, and I want something as scented as possible, what are your favourites??

I've got Claude Monet in my back garden, he's a trooper

It has a lovely rose scent and is strong and sturdy. The photos are from 31st May, and still got flowers on now.

(I also have Souvenir de Mme Leonie Viennot on order, as a bareroot, to go over my arbour.)

Oh WOW!!!!

I should hide these threads somehow... rose greed is getting the better of me

This is becoming an impossible thread ❤️ Every time I think I’m picking one I decide on something else… might need a spreadsheet…

Oh he is very lovely! I need more room!

Rambling Rector. Lovely scent, laden with tiny flowers, very quick grower.

This is the problem - so many beauties, only so much space...😩

I also have a Notre Dame de Calais on a public facing fence, very pretty flowers but the thorns are savage (which is why it's planted where it is). It's north facing, so I had limited scope.

@olderbutwiser Do you have any photos of your rose? I have one in my garden that AI identifies as potentially Souvenir du dr Jamain, but mine grows in full sun, which apparently this rose doesn't like. It is also not fussy at all, flowers repeatedly and smells like heaven.

I’ve got a Blush Noisette which has a lovely scent and flowers prolifically for a long period.

@HomeCountyHome I’m sorry to learn that A Shropshire Lad has been retired. I put one in last year to climb up my front porch and I love it. Looks like some are still available here in Aust, but if I ever move I may have to dig this one up to take it with me!

I have Wollerton Old Hall and Cymbeline as ramblers, and they are both terrific. I began training them into obelisks this last winter and gave them a good lot of aged manure, and they are both currently flowering their heads off.

I have struggled a lot to choose from all these beauties but am ordering a Lady of the Lake. Thank you all so much!

Strawberry Hill and Wolerton Old Hall smell gorgeous!
