Comments (38)Jim- Good to know about Golden Showers. I decided to get one William Lobb to go with my two Fantin Latour roses. I suspect that it might not grow as tall as they say on the website, in my colder climate. In this location it's okay it it's just a big beautiful shrub. Thank you all for your input. I was leaning towards New Dawn for the kitchen garden arbor, but was afraid it might be too exuberant. Finally decided to zone push a little and ordered two Lavender Lassie roses that should arrive early next June. They'll be own root and the arbor will be in one of the most protected locations we have, so I'll keep my fingers crossed :)...See MoreCompassion climbing rose question

Comments (8)It could be a rose of the R. carolina - R. virginina complex, although those generally bloom a bit later in the season. Since these species will hybridize readily, it's hard to tell withoout seeing a live specimen. In any event, it is not R. multiflora, so I would not worry about a virus....See Moremaifleur01
