| First of all I just want to say I feel like I post a lot of questions but while I am not new at gardening and I have always had a roses the extent of my rose knowledge was it is a red, yellow or pink one and I pruned them in the spring. I just recently developed a interest in earning more about them and have made many of my rose choices due to the advice of people on this forum. It has been a pleasure learning from everyone's experiences. Having said all that I will say thank you for everyone's patience as I am sure this will not be my last question :). And finally my question is this ......can I plant a new climbing rose with a already established New Dawn? I want something that repeat blooms since my New Dawn only blooms in the spring for me. I also have a newly planted Peggy Martin on the other end of the trellis but she's a baby but I know when she is established she will be a once bloomer also. Looking forward to what anyone has to say. |

| I just did this last weekend! :-) I planted a Blossomtime and an Awakening with my 3 New Dawns ( 7-8 yrs old,only bloom once in the Spring), and I planted one Renae with Blushing Lucy (7-8 yrs old,once bloomer for me)........ |

| Unless your trellis is huge or you mean to spend your life pruning, I'd say New Dawn and Peggy Martin would take up all the space and then some. A photo wood be helpful. |

| I will get a pic this weekend. I was hoping to plant a short climber that repeat blooms so I will have color when the ND and PM are done blooming. My New Dawn looks scrawny to me and has never really turned into a monster like I have heard it can be. My PG is a very small, I received her as a cutting and put her in the ground so I don't expect her crowd anything out anytime soon and I really only want to plant something new on the side as the ND. |
