Can an ordinary rose bush (shrub) be tied loosely to the fan and have it grow upwards? Or does it have to be climbing roses only? I'm not looking for anything hugely tall; just a little growth upwards would be nice.

Yes, actually you can, but you have to be aware that some roses only grow to about 4ft so you will have to find a rose that grows to 8 to 10ft. If you go to http://www.davidaustinroses.com/ you will be able to get an idea of what you are looking for. They have a detailed description of each rose they sell including shrub roses that can be trained as climber.

Not too many regular hybrid tea roses get tall enough to climb or train on a fan. Try a climbing rose like Climbing Fairy (pink) or Red Cascade. Both are smaller climbing roses. The best everblooming climbing rose is New Dawn.

You need to buy a climbing rose. Joseph's Coat is a very beautiful one. One plant produces yellow and red roses.
