    @WhereAreMySecateurs is it a sunny spot or half ?
    Do you want more rambling style or more classic roses. Choices are unlimited 😉.
    You could merge two climbers…

    You have loads of choices @WhereAreMySecateurs but I’ll throw out one suggestion, Lady Hillingdon. 
    Thank you. I love the suggestion but not sure if she'd be hardy enough for here. Think tea roses are on the delicate side (? Might be getting mixed up). Trevor White says she is Zone 8 (can withstand -7 to -12) and it did get colder than that last winter. Beautiful colour though.

    It is west-facing, but its afternoon/evening sunshine is somewhat impeded by another neighbour's conifer. I could chop down my own buddleia to the south of it to give it more midday sun, though.

    I like the idea of merging climbers actually and yes the choices are overwhelming me. I have just planted the short rambler Super Excelsa to go over my shed just across from it, so not that.

    @WhereAreMySecateurs A few more… Wollerton Old Hall? Mme. Alfred Carriere? New Dawn?

    Hi all

    Does anyone know where I can get a rose called 'Peace' - it was my late parent's favourite rose, and I'd dearly like to grow two of them in remembrance of them.  

    Thanks

    @WhereAreMySecateurs , some of my old shortlist for tall climbers.

    City of York
    Guirlande Rose  
    Desprez a Fleurs Jaunes
    dreaming spires
    malvern hills
    Aimee vibert
    Leontine Gervais ( Some sources say it repeats while other say it does not) 
    Can give you some orientation  what you like or dislike 😉.

    @Omori...the Britishroses website looks interesting with a great choice of roses I currently favour, so I would be interested to know if you have any recent experience of using them.
