Climbing roses not only
give you more bangs for your buck, but they add dimension, form and interest to
your cottage garden. The big box stores, unfortunately do not carry these multi
floral varieties. All those listed here are double, repeat blooming and
delightfully fragrant, and the best feature is, they are all in my garden. These roses are all
hardy and vigorous growers, even novice gardeners can grow these.
Abraham Darby bears large, deeply cupped blooms in shades of
pink, apricot and yellow and, in spite of their size, they continue to be
produced for the remainder of the season. They have a rich, fruity fragrance
with a refreshing sharpness. ‘Abraham Darby’ is an excellent, vigorous,
medium-sized shrub. It has a bushy, arching habit and large, polished, rather
modern leaves; flower, growth and leaf are all in proportion and never clumsy. Sort Climber 6-8 ft.
Mme. Driout an amazing finds amongst
Teas, it has flowers of bright rose with stripes of carmine, quite large and
full, that open to show the golden stamens. This rose has intense and
interesting fragrance; Myrrh? This is a moderate pillar rose that can be pruned

Westerland Climbing Roses Magnificent, large, well-formed
5" blooms (petals 20-25) of apricot, copper-orange on a bushy, vigorous,
upright continual blooming plant with bronze-green foliage. We have to keep
busy propagating this one because it is so popular. A truly outstanding shrub
rose! Marvelous fragrance. Repeat blooming. Very winter hardy. Vigorous plant grows fast 10-12 ft.
Lady Hillingdon CL.A vigorous and hardy climbing rose and one of the best tea roses still
in existence. The blooms are made up of large petals, resulting in long,
elegant, waxy buds, which open to large, loosely formed flowers of deep
apricot-yellow. These hang gracefully from the branch and emit a delicious,
rich tea fragrance. ‘Lady Hillingdon’ continues to flower throughout the summer
with unusual regularity. It has fine contrasting dark green foliage, which is
coppery mahogany when young. 15ft.
Mme Caroline Testout
Climbing
An excellent climbing sport of an early Hybrid Tea Rose. Large,
rose-pink flowers, the outer petals rolling back in an attractive
way. Only a slight fragrance. It repeats flowers, producing a good
second crop in September. Strong and enduring: David CH Austin still has one growing
on his wall that was photographed in 1919 and was a mature plant, even in those
days. 20ft.

Van Fleet and almost identical to it with the exception of Awakenings very

pale pink blooms are very-double and born in clusters. Light fragrance, Reblooms

very shiny green. Disease resistant.
Mme Alfred Carrierr There is few white climbing roses to rival ‘Mme. Alfred Carrière’ in
performance. It bears large, cupped, creamy white blooms tinged with pink,
which have a sweet tea rose fragrance. The flowers have a rather informal

strong and upright. 20ft.
