Best Roses for Pillars

10 years ago

I have 2 tall arbor posts in front of my horse barn that I would like to put pillar roses on. Other than climbing Pinkie and Crepuscule, I am not sure which ones would work. Can anyone make some suggestions? I am thinking red would show up best, the barn is beige with white trim, but am open to anything. Thanks.....

Any climber with somewhat flexible canes should be workable.

I think Heirloom has Super Excelsa. That's a lax caned reblooming rambler, not exactly red but it would do. Crimson Showers would be nice but maybe hard to find. Have you heard of Perennial Blue? It has the same growth habit with mauve flowers. Rogue Valley has a number of these Wichurana types(now called R. Lucae).
