..lovely photos again from everyone.. my garden is like a desert compared to some above... no rain here.. not a drop..
I don't do cuttings these days and if I did I would take them in November, so there wouldn't be any leaves on them... if anybody does them in summer perhaps they could advise @Dirty Harry ?.. it's outside my thinking to take rose cuttings in summer ..
@ShepherdsBarn .. I remember your old cottage wall with the red rose... I think the structure is so informal and there are no real rules here, so whether you want the same rose each side of the window or 2 different ones, that's down to you... with such walls I would choose different roses because co-ordinated formality like that isn't my thing..  I would probably also go with roses may repeat a little, but from an earlier period, without regarding it as essential, but it's really up to you what you choose... it's a fun option.. Do you have any in mind?..Â
Turns it is Earth Angel @cooldoc, I bought it from TCLottum as Herzogin Christiana! ooh your rain, luscious.
Lovely gardens edhelka and newbie. I like Faustinia very much edhelka, I hope it continues to do well for both of us. It occured to me that your swing would make a good rose arch eventually newbie77.
Faustinia is lovely, is it keeping it’s colour for you in the heat @Tack and how is the fragrance? I’m asking you rather than edhelka since her climate is milder.
Ah, lovely luscious rain cooldoc, I’m so envious! I have this spring photo of MW as my current homepage just to remind me of cooler, fresher times..
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
I do treasure that photo Fire, since it’s so rarely that colour for me, cool springs only!
I’m tempted try a Burgundy Ice standard from TCL to replace the dark clematis wigwam in the centre of my east border. The clem fried and died. I had the shrub, which was fine in heat but it was such a gangly thing I got rid. Gangly for a standard might work, but it could be horrible as well, since I recall the foliage wasn’t too healthy..

Faustinia Nollie, it was in morning sun for those 2 hottest days but in full sun all day on a hot concrete patio the rest of the time. Photo yesterday after I deadheaded from this Maybe the brown blooms is what you'd get! The fragrance is good, better than AbFab, I get more than just the aniseed, also peach in the morning. I like it a lot but then I think Golden Beauty is great too, here it is, middle of the trio below but as a calibration mine is still gold today, not as bleached as yours so maybe Faustinia would too. This is totally not a photo showing off the incredible clematis, not faded one tiny bit after opening during peak heat.

I know I said I won't buy anything. But... I think I was wrong.
