Miniature Roses

Need climbing mini yellow rose with less sun

19 years ago

Hi,

I am looking for a climbing mini rose that gets only about 3-4 hours of sun. I am thinking of putting a trellis against the fence. It will get sun from about noon to 2:30PM and then later in the evening (after the sun passes a huge tree.)

I am totally new to rose gardening and I have no idea where to even begin! Someone told me Red Cascade would be a good choice, but I was wondering if there is a yellow climbing rose I can put on instead. It would be nice if it had scent also and if the bloom period was long. (I've been told Red Cascade is scentless.)

Thank you very much!

Tomo

I doubt that any of the climbing Miniatures will prosper in that little sun. They may grow, but they won't rebloom well. This sounds like a site better suited to Clematis, perhaps?
