I don't have any advice to offer but it's gorgeous and you did a great job!!!!

It is gorgeous--what is the current height? I'm guessing 4-6 feet, in which case you may want to save much of the remaining trellis for upward growth of the canes that are there now (my NDs put out 10-15 feet canes, which will extend upward from your trellis to the roof naturally.

Those extra canes on the sides--I don't think you're going to get them on the trellis, which is crowded already, unless you get them going up vertically at the trellis edges. Then you could work them in with the others at the top and send the whole bunch skyward.

Also, any time is a good time to train ND, the earlier the better while the canes are flexible and before it shreds your legs or clothing when you enter that door.

Oh how fantastic!!! I absolutely LOVE it! You did a wonderful job!

You did an amazing job, subk! They look beautiful! If possible try and work those strays back toward the center and tie them in. You have to do this while the canes are still young and flexible. And you have to keep after it all the time to keep it in shape.

I'd definitely save those new canes and train them up vertically. It already looks great and will be absolutely spectacular once the plants start clambering over those roofs. Good for you;well done! bart

Not only does your training job look great, but that's a really snazzy trellis, too!

where did you get those trellis????

You did a good job training the climbers and they look beautiful, but...you're really going to be in a spot of trouble in a few years.

The two areas you have made for New Dawn would be very nice for a smaller climber or pillar rose to mature into. Unfortunately, New Dawn is neither of these things and I would imagine that in your zone and climate, it doesn't suffer much, if any dieback. Without significant pruning, those New Dawns are going to eat those trellises and the front of your house in 2-3 years time. One New Dawn would be enough to cover the entire area shown in your pic.

You may really want to reconsider moving those New Dawns now before they get too large and plant a more manageable climber in those locations.

Not trying to be negative as the pics are lovely, but just passing on advice based on experience.

Gosh, that is so pretty! I, too, would love to know where you purchased the trellis.

If you have 12 feet in height and 35 in width, that is plenty of space, even for New Dawn. You will just have to keep on top of tying up the new canes - it is a baby now. When it gets to be a teenager, it will start throwing out really long large climbing canes. One thing I would be careful about would be to let those new climbing canes grow to long lengths before you try to tie them up - when new they are very fragile. It will be a compromise between letting them get "hardened off" enough to not damage them, and still tying them up when they are flexible enough to do so. You have all of the right ideas in your latest post - just keep up the good work, and remember, even if you make a "mistake", this rose will shrug if off and keep on getting bigger - that is what it does!

RRD is the biggest threat--they aren't easy to remove once they've been in place for 5-10 years, if they get it. Best to be sure the neighborhood isn't harboring any infected plants and then just what we all do, hope for the best and enjoy the beauty!

I would not encourage shrubbiness at the base past what you have already done, because that's the part that's going to want to grow too fiercely :D

Keep the bottom thinned and don't tie in too many canes, or she may become a monster :D That's what I do, anyway. The higher canes will be more obvious when they need a lot of pruning, but I recommend getting a jump on the crazy base canes from the start (or soonish. Letting her get some big roots down first is fine.)

Once you have a few good canes on this girl, don't worry about keeping each one, lol. She gets crazy with it; don't worry :D

It looks lovely! Be forewarned though, in 2-3 years you will not be able to use that entrance door...lol. I planted 7 ND about 7-8 years ago, even though I had plenty warning. They arrived looking like skinny pencils, and now they are the monsters that ate my yard. I severely cut them back 3 years ago, but that only encouraged them to grow bigger. I have not fertilized them in years, and they get only the water nature provides, but they seem to thrive on neglect. The June blooming is spectacular, and lasts about 3 weeks. After that it is very sporadic. I have a relatively small yard, and can no longer give them all the real estate they require, so after this years first blooms, the chainsaw and backhoe will come out.

The stork will be arriving with my ND on Monday, so I was really excited to find these posts and pictures!. I had been thinking about where I was going to plant her and how fast, high, etc. she would grow. I am re thinking of her location now that I have read how prolific she is.

When she is established, and growing I will post some pictures!

My huge ND is hitting her peak this week, and she is just so, so pretty, I have to say! She's a monster, but she's one of the few roses I have more than one of :) Just teach her who's boss ;)
