Hello All,
As the rain beats down on the roof above me, Iām gazing out at my garden and wondering what rose I could justify buying, to fill a very specific place...
West facing, southerly tilt, wall of new extension but over the bifold doors and window and could turn the corner of same extension into the side passage.
The wall is exposed brick and also rendered brick around the side.
Iād like to use strong wires to support the rose, as the area to be covered is about 5m across one wall and 2 the other side, with about 1m in height.
Iād love a Banksian rose, but I fear that at 12 odd meters plus, it may need restraining too much which would hamper its flowering.
Something almost evergreen would be lovely, to give a backdrop to a possible jasmine clotted cream or a honeysuckle, later in the season.
I love all shades of yellow, blush, apricot, cream, dark pinks, but not keen on reds.
THANKS ALL šš»

I donāt think there any roses that are āevergreenā - if you donāt get much response here you could try posting in the Rose Season 2021 thread.. there are lots of very experienced rose enthusiasts there who can help you with ideas.. I only grow shrub roses so I donāt know much about climbers.Ā

Regarding rose nurseries in general, here are some to check out:
It's not the tidiest of growers so doesn't appeal to everyone but it fits into my somewhat casual style!Ā
