A few weeks ago I had pleasure in illustrating a number of the Rambling Roses that were doing particularly well this year. This time it is the turn of the climbing roses.
In general the climbing roses tend to be less vigorous and are usually more likely to be repeat flowering than the ramblers.
Choosing just six has been difficult but here is my selection for this week.
One: Compassion
Two: Constance Spry
Three: Arthur Bell
Four: Madame Alfred Carrière
Five: Sombreuil
Six: Mermaid

It is a lovely rose and although each flower fades quite quickly it continually produces new fresh blooms even in the very hot weather we have had.

Lovely pictures and some roses that are new to me. Are particularly liked Sombreuil – but a little hard to pronounce!

I really like compassion, even tho I usually prefer yellow roses! Also, those foxgloves go so well w/the Constance Spry. I didn’t know the difference between ramblers & climbers. Think I’d go for the climbers, for that repeat flowering!
