Definitely something to aspire… What varieties of roses do you have? I probably missed that in a previous post.

-- Zone 4a or 4b... depending on where you are standing!

Mtkate: Sorry I dont know the variety of the roses as they were in my backyard when we moved to this house. They were not doing well as the sun didn’t get to them sufficiently and they had not been cared for.

So pretty and colorful.

It is hard to see, but I think that I see 7 leaves, and that makes me think it is a type of wild rugosa. My dad had some, and they bloomed profusely along his latticed fence. Very nice indeed.

Did I also see some clematis leaves mixed in? I am not certain of that, but I thought that I saw some. Nice touch. I have some clematis that decided it would like to climb up the purple sandcherry after it had finished its bloom.

Yes I do have clamatis planted along the wall as well. Unfortunately the prettiest one is usually finished before the roses come out. I was given a very mature clamatis this spring from a neighbour who just moved in and didn’t want them. ( I believe that this is the one that is in bloom just now and it is also the purple but much smaller) I had already purchased a new one but wasn’t about to turn down this huge mature one with a root system that was probably about 14” of nearly 1” roots….wow So now I have 3 clematis along the fence in amongst the roses.

-- Dahlitsa

Lucky you. My clematis have overtaken my climbing rose. I had planted a beautiful blaze rose, but it died the first winter, and a new rose came up from the root stock which was a single white rose that lasted about a day and a half. I use it as a trellis for the clematis. I think that there are three different clematis that are using the rose canes for support.
