| Bugs, etc. are local issues - what state or place are you in? I have not done this with a potted rose, but I have grown Madame Alfred Carriere 25 feet up an evergreen pine tree - I never do anything to it except give it a bit of water in our summer drought, and once a year I throw osmocote at the base. It climbed all the way up there by itself - my plan was that it was going to climb on the garage, but as soon as it got up to the garage roof it took off over the neighbor's fence and up his pine tree. Looks fantastic, and has for 15 years - if it has any problems they are not visible from below, and I am NOT climbing up there to look for any! Jackie |

| 25 feet wow that's impressive thanks for your reply Jackie |

| I also grew MAC against a huge Yew, and it worked out great because in the winter I would pot the canes into the bush-great winter protection. |
