| I.should be getting a CLH from RU in the next month and am trying to decide best way to grow it. Against the house, on a trellise, or mounted against the back fence. Any tips or advice? |

| Which area has about 6 hours of sun? LH has very delicate flowers--too much sun and they fry, not enough sun and there are fewer of them. I would also avoid reflected heat, as from a wall or nearby stretch of pavement. |

| Well the brick wallis a western exposure that gets lots of sun. My other roses do well there but the fence faces south so it won't get baked as much there. Was wanting to know if a trellis or arch or just the fence would work best for her. |

| My Cl. Lady Hillingdon baked against the house wall and had to be removed. It's grown very little since then and since I had no place to put a trellis or arch I planted it in a row of tea roses and will try to grow it as a large, free-standing bush. In another garden I grew one very successfully against a chain link fence where it had circulation all the way around it. The intensity of the sun has increased so much since then that I'm not sure how well the all-day sun it had would affect it now. Ingrid |

| While the fence site seems to be the best for the rose I wouldn't suggest training it to the fence unless it's a very sturdy one and you don't ever need to fix or replace it. I'd find a very sturdy trellis or arch to train it to. |
