New Dawn and unknown rose in bloom. The unknown dark red rose is at full peak, while the New Dawn is just starting its show. Clearly, I need to get a trellis up for these guys. It's on my to-do list...my very lengthy to-do list :)

That UK red one is DR HUEY, the rootstock that NEW DAWN is grafted onto. If you like it, let it grow, but personally, I'd rip that sucker outta there. It IS virtually a "sucker." It will compete with NEW DAWN and eventually kill it most likely. I have this problem on several roses, and the grafted varieties hardly do anything anymore. I did lose SIGNATURE to rootstock last summer. And I'm going to have to totally dig out the others and yank the whole section off the base of them, otherwise the same thing will happen to them.

Yep, the Doctor all right. It can be pretty but it only blooms once and there are better red climbers that would look pretty with ND and repeat bloom as well.
