| Don Juan is my hands down favorite. It's done the best for me, blooming 10-11 month out of the year and growing like crazy: I live near Houston. Don Juan is also disease resistant. I don't spray it, fertilize it, water it, anything. Easier than an old tree. Lady Banks is good for Austin, but only blooms once a year. |

| I second Rev D'Or. It is blooming even in this heat. Very small blooms, bur blooming. Mine grows as a rambler. I did not realize it could be used as a climber when I planted it.

| Plantmaven, Your roses are beautiful. It's amazing that it will bloom so well in this heat. Do you fertilize and water all the time? |

| I apologize. I should have stated that was a spring picture. The ones now are not as many and about 1/4 that size. They are sometimes fed if we remember to do so. |
