I planted it in the last century. It has survived ivy to the extent that i forgot it was there and being cut down to sticks by a builder, which actually rejuvenated it. It has mingled with a maroon clematis that i don't remember planting. Mine faces west in partial shade but it's sheltered. It's a survivor and had earned its place in my garden
I am looking forward to my first Iceberg roses B3, but only planted this climber earlier in the year, so will have to wait - how long? Perhaps next year. We have no roses in flower here yet, apart from one or two Masquerade blooms, but it really hasn't got going yet.
I saw a lovely looking rose today at Belton House (near Grantham) - meant to take a photo on our way back past it but we ended up taking a different route back.
It was a large rambler, few thorns- leaves very similar to Ghislaine de Feligonde - it was completely covered in perfect miniature yellow rose blooms - an inch or less in diameter and held in groups - the overall effect looked great in the sunlight and close up those miniature rose flowers were so interesting.
ok I have a couple of problems today, the first one is my son's only rosebush. He is new to gardening and seems to be having a lot of problems lately. First let me say that he lives on the coast of Northern California which gets a lot of rain and fog, which contributes I think to some of his problems. here is a picture of his tea rose (It's a red one, but I don't know the name) There is some browning on the edge of a few leaves and it looks to me like the leaves might be curling a little. Any ideas on what it's problem is and how to fix it?

Think it was Rosa Banksiae Lutea
