| I was looking for some more suggestions on another rose bush since everyone here has been so helpful ! I have room for one more climbing rose and I would like it to be a creamy color or a white with a creamy center but I would like one that has a fleshy tan shading to it and not pink . Pink just does not work in my garden and prefer a more mascline look. Is there such a color in a garden rose ? I have seen this color in cut flower type rose. |

| Sombrieul is a white climber. Sometimes sold as colonial white. |

| 'Sombreuil,' (Cl.) is a wichurana hybrid, so it should be tough in a wider range of climate zones. (It may have been bred in OH.) I have NO clue about how it will do in your humid heat, but if it will handle the humidity, it is a great grower, and a generous bloomer, and very very fragrant. Good in a vase, too. It was among our first roses, when we thought it was an Old Garden Rose, and it will always have a place here. Jeri |

| Jeri Thanks for the pic it is a very beautiful rose. I believe it does grow well here but I have never seen in person. yes the weather here is quite different here than it is there. I use to live in the oxnard/ventera area Darwin |

| Hi Darwin -- Yes, I believe there's a difference (we are in Camarillo). Sombreuil, though, is one rose I believe could be as good or maybe even better, for you. Jeri |
