You stated in another thread that your William Baffin grows and blooms well in part shade. I have a spot that only gets about 5 hours of sun that is on a post and needs a climber. How much shade is yours in? Does it re-bloom during the season or just in the spring for you? Is there another climber that might be better? I have no color preference and it doesn't have to be fragrant. It just needs to tolerate the shade, bloom and get tall.

Thank you!

Captain Samuel Holland. It isn't the beast William is. Or the screaming pink that I personally never could tolerate.

I'm not familiar with CSH, mad, but in looking at it on HMF it seems like a pretty bright pink too. I don't mind a really bright one because that would actually show up better in the shade.

Originally there was a Dublin Bay there but I killed it. It was very top heavy (because that was where all the sun was) and empty at the base so I pruned it down to the ground one fall hoping I would get some new basals. Big mistake! It didn't come back the next spring. My own stupidity.
