Bunny ...Bunny ... Posts: 3,471
I'd like to get a couple to hide a bit of fence. Seems so many out there , I was looking at the hedgerow ones as there seem to be alot round here. 
Any others you could recommend as not fussy and likes wet and cold ground? 
Thank you

    How wet is the ground? While roses like moist soil they hate being waterlogged.
    What sort of soil?
    Does the fence face south? North? 
    Do you mind what colour? Repeat flowering?
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Wet or concrete 
    Clay
    Pergola trellis faces south and west
    Other fence faces north 
    No preference just hardy

    Do you mean Rambling roses or Climbing roses?

    Theses are ramblers.

    I have Ghislaine de Feligonde, cream and peach, a repeat flowering rambler which is quite bushy and not as tall as some so it would hide a bit of fence.

    I also have Malvern Hills, another repeat flowerer, pale yellow, which is quite vigorous and is good on a pergola.

    I have Albertine, peach pink, rambler, on a wall which is lovely and smells wonderful but it is very prickly and only flowers once.

    I have Kew Rambler which has pretty single pink flowers with yellow middles, thorny, very vigorous and will grow on a north wall.

    I have Félicité Perpetué, another rambler, but only flowers once in summer, smothered in clusters of white flowers, vigorous and tall, will grow on a north wall.
