Betty Corning is super vigorous in my garden. I grow it with Crepuscle which is a very vigorous rose but I have to keep Betty in check to avoid Crepuscle being swamped.

Thanks for the tip! I suppose Crepuscle isn't as vigorous as some, at only 3.5m or so max height. That's precisely why Im asking around for good combinations, as Ive seen how vigorous clems can be and don't want to spend the whole year trying to control one plant as the other is smothered!
New Dawn was there first. I planted a Betty Corning in front of it in a pot at first but found that the small flowers of Betty Corning didn't stand out enough against the New Dawn rose. I saw the pairing of New Dawn with Perle d Azure on a Pinterest page and it looked so lovely I moved Betty and replaced her with Perle, it works much better.

Thanks - very useful to know! I think I'll have to get Perle d"azure. That colour is amazing...

Betty Corning wouldn't be so vigorous if grown in a pot. Mine is OK. Pot needs to be quite big though.
Will you put a rose arch around the door? There isn't a lot of space on the walls at the sides.
