Roses that bloom all summer?

Question

I would like to have climbing roses that bloom all summer long like my mother's used to. The color dosen't really matter but hardiness and scent are a big plus. How are all season bloomers labeled? Any suggestions on names? I live in zone 6. Thanks.

"Blaze" is just what I am talking about, but I was hoping for the same performance in other colors.

I have found out through trial and error that most 'repeat' bloomers usually have a first flush in the spring, sometimes have sporadic weak blooming through the summer and then a fall blooming.

I'm not sure about roses marked 'continously.'

I think roses must be labeled 'blooms profusly Spring through Fall' or they don't.

I was hoping someone with a first hand knowledge would reply.

Answer 1

Simplifying rebloom patterns of hardy roses into a few single-word descriptions such as "repeat" and "continuous" can be confusing. The value of rebloom depends on the length of the rebloom period and on floral density. Heavy spring bloom is typical of most hardy roses, but flowering during summer and fall is highly variable among the cultivars. (1)

Jolee g... these "everblooming" & repeat bloom climbing roses may be what you're looking for:

Jeanne LaJoie: One of the best of any type climber. It is covered with rich pink miniature blooms in great profusion in the spring and fall, with good rebloom in between. It is disease resistant and easily propagated. It can reach up to 15 feet, although it can be pruned to keep it in a smaller area.Hardiness: Zone 5-10 very winter hardy for zone 6 (2)

Blaze: One of the finest and most popular red climbers. Bright scarlet, semi-double, small(3 inch), cupped blooms produced in clusters with light fragance against dark green foliage. Profuse blooming and always in bloom. Hardy zones 5-9. (3)

BERRIES ‘N’ CREAM Even though Berries n Cream is a climbing Hybrid Tea rose, the foliage and flowers manage to stay relatively clean. Disease resistance to the usual culprits (blackspot, rust, and mildew) is generally excellent. Medium-sized, semi-double, ruffled blooms that are swirls of old rose pink and cream. The lovely blooms are produced in bouquet-like clusters. The branches have few thorns. An added bonus is its pleasant fragrance.(4) Zones: 5-10 According to
http://www.gardenmob.com/blog1/2006/10/02/rose-berries-n-cream/ it "produces roses throughout the entire season."

ICEBERG: The most sought after and hard-to-find Climber today. In the spring it is covered with clouds of pure white, semi-double blooms. Zones 5-9 Good repeat bloom. (5)

New Dawn: A reliably hardy and healthy climber & the first plant in the world to be patented. It is a double flower, pale pink in color, with a mild old rose scent. It is easy to grow, resistant to pests, and can even be grown in as little as 4 or 5 hours of sun a day! The foliage is shiny and very healthy, & it can easily reach 15 feet. New Dawn and its descendants must be deadheaded differently than the average ever-blooming climber. Just pinch off the dead bloom, as new buds develop directly behind these and will be lost if you prune back the lateral. Hardy to Zone 5 (6)

I love the beautiful color variations of Joseph's Coat, but some people feel it has some drawbacks: http://www.gardenmob.com/blog1/2006/10/30/rose-josephs-coat/

P.S. jolee g
Joseph's Coat actually did bloom continuously, in full bloom, the entire season, & I enjoyed this plant for many years.
I loved how the flowers changed colors from day to day!

Soil Requirements: Well drained, humus enriched, slightly acid. Growth Rate: Moderate to fast Unique Characteristics: AARS 1932 Pruning: In spring to remove old dead wood annually. After bloom, remove spent flowering laterals to between 2-3 buds of remaining branch.

Answer 4

The answer above is great. I'm strictly a nonprofessional but I've read that if you allow the blooms to stay on so that they develop "rose hips" (when all the petals fall of and only the bulb of the bloom remains) it will shorten the bloom life of your plant. Perhaps someone can confirm this.

Answer 5

try a 'knockout' rose or climber. The new ground cover roses also bloom all season. Just ask your local nursery for "knockout" roses or "ground cover" roses...good luck
