| I love ramblers, it's unreal surrounded by thousands blooms after a long day of work, it's like stepping into a fairy tale....I'd love all my ramblers re-bloom, is that too much to ask? So far I have mme Alfred Carriere and Darwin's Enigma bloom through out the season.Is it possible to see Blushing Lucy and New Dawn re-bloom? They are about 7 years old. I have planted other repeat ramblers this Spring, (Peggy Martin, Cl Pinkie, Cl Fairy, Sally Homes), but they have a long way to go. Thanks |

| 'New Dawn' should re-bloom, as it is the repeat blooming sport of 'Dr. W. Van Fleet'. Evidently it sometimes sports back to that parent, which I understand is identical except that it is a once bloomer. So, if yours is mature and not re-blooming, you may have gotten Dr. W. Van Fleet somehow. Jackie |

| Cl Pinkie is terrific for me here. She shot up in the first year. In the second she got to about 20 feet including the arch-over and in her third is in almost continuous bloom. All this on own root here in Florida. I clip what I can and she sets hips if I don't. |

| Thanks everyone for the input. I am going to try deadheading this year for Blushing Lucy and 3 of my New Dawns. I might plant some other climbers ( bloom on new wood) next to them to keep the colors going. Growing season is so short here, keep trying to get the most of roses and colors during 6 months warm weather :-) Thanks again |

| One of the definitions of a rambler is no or little rebloom. It's a loose term for a lot of different roses. I'm told to call New Dawn a large flowered climber and things like Super Dorothy a climbing polyantha. So your Blushing Lucy survived the winter well? It would seem then that you aren't too badly limited as to what climbers you can grow. There are some ramblers bred for cold climes. Polar Star is one. I think the Geschwend roses were intended for cold. |

| Polar Star and Geschwend are very pretty, thanks for mentioning them. Yes, Blushing Lucy is doing very well here, I have two of them, the one wrapping around the porch(facing North) has very little (almost none) winter damage, the other one 30' away got eaten by rabbits , I moved the root to a sunny spot facing west two months ago, will see how well it blooms next Spring (blooms on old wood). I ordered Bloosomtime and Awaking to grow with my three New Dawns , to keep the colors going; and Renae will be growing with a Blushing Lucy. I want to have blooms around the porch all the time. but I love Blushing Lucy too (even she is a once bloomer for my location), so I am going to twist them together! No big deal! :-) I just purchased a Cl America to twist with Cecile Brunner Cl- another once bloomer for me. Cecile Brunner Cl doesn't grow tall in this iceland. You're right, New Dawns is a big climber, not a rambler, I tried to keep the title short, so upgraded it to a rambler for a short time :-) |
