Advice on a climbing rose please

Barbara B , your climber looks fantastic , love how you have trained it , great ...

That IS a beaut PdB, barbara. How old did you say it was? 3?

Roseman , Magic garden roses have Duchess de Brabant climbing too , i'm going to take a day trip up there soon , i chose that one cause i have a small arbour and all the other climbers are too big , except for Pierre , which i had there , but it got BS and no fragrance , so out it came of course , i'm going to plant a clematis with or on the other side if i ever figure out how to do it . Don't know anyone who has planted clematis and a climber together but i know it can be done , just not sure how ....

Hi,
I have clematis planted with all the climbers in my "rosewalk". Just plant them twice as deep as you think they need.The only one whose name I can remember is Niobe and it's planted under Crepuscule.
It looks great when they're both flowering. The clematis need to have a cool root run, so some people put stones or pavers over them.

Barbara, your Pierre is absolutely luscious and beautifully trained.

Hi,
Pierre de Ronsard is very easy to shape. This year it has evened itself out more with a branch to the upper left. When it starts flowering (in a few days) I'll post a new photo of it. It's probably about eight years old. I have wondered if Red Pierre has the same growth habit.

Roseman its a HT double delight variety rose..I bought it barerooted this season and have grown it next to a big steel arch.Very healthy plant with alot of shoots and going to flower soon.The area it is in is a large space and good soil.

Sorry Danny, I misread your post. Ok then can we have photo of the arch, Double Delight, I would run it up it loosely, given over time it will thicken up and you do not want to cut off the food supply by strangling it with the metal arch.

Thanks roseman I forgot to post pics can you send the link.

Red flowers more than pink at my place ? And seems a healthier rose as well ?

That's interesting Thee, comments I've heard often have it the other way around.

I'll get another pic soon to show you a full view, mine flowered right up till it was time to prune

Would love to see it Thee, thanks.

Thanks Balinbear, your Claire is a lovely creature isn't she. Lucky you can provide her the space she needs. Unfortunately my space is much smaller. Love looking at everyone's ideas though!

Barbara B , just on growing clematis and climbers together , did you plant them in the same hole and if you did ,how far apart ? I don't have a big area , maybe i could plant rose one side , clematis the other side , but the pics i have seen you plant them together , do you have any pics , thanks
