- Picking the right climbing rose for your garden can be a bit overwhelming with so many great climbers and ramblers to choose from. In this video, I'll highlight some of the most popular and sought-after varieties of climbing roses, including some from David Austin, others from Kordes and Meilland. I'll also discuss the basics of how to train them in the landscape.
If you find these videos useful, there are a few little things you can do to help me out:

My goodness, I'm only a quarter of the way into this vid and my bank account is in tears 😁😂. Also husband just loves when I "discover" empty spaces in the garden. I think I just discovered another that would be in need of some apricot climbers.
Of his list: I cannot overstate how much we love our westerlands! We have two trained over either side of an arbor. They meet in the middle and are wonderful.
Buy bare root, cuttings or seeds.
@@The_Black_Anarchist bc those are cheaper? Any specific recommendations? I just moved into a house with a yard and am trying to plant a handful before fall. New to roses.
@@carolinebarley I spent weeks planning and picking out the right plants. It's hard to make recommendations without knowing what you already have. Before I buy plants, I take pictures and put them together to see how they would look.
Aldi has climbing roses in store for $8! If you have one around. What a steal!
The David Austin Gertrude Jekyll does wonderfully as a climber or a shrub. The breeder sells both angles. I love them so much, I'm putting more in. Its the only rose that I can smell the final single blossom of the year as I walk by it this mid October in zone 6 New England! It's scent is truly amazing! Not a single black spot or mildew. Actually the aphids didn't even bother it! You won't be disappointed in your purchase
Thanks!
Don Juan was a favorite of my clients. I love that roses take so many shapes.
WOW so I searched up “how to prune dead head rose” and after watching that video I was wondering if I got a good climber rose.. so I clicked on your channel & this was the first video suggestion 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video! May I also recommend DA 'The Generous Gardener'. Flowers truly reminds me floating water lilies. Every time I look at this climbing rose, images of Monet's paintings jump to mind... 🎨😆 Flowers are fleeting however and only lasts for a couple of days, but she's a productive rose with an abundance of flowers. She's also known for producing large rose hips in autumn. Gorgeous fragrance that carries through the air on hot sunny days. 🥰
Thanks so much Marthin - I'll look for it!
This was a lovely video, your love of roses shines through, and I am especially glad you stress a lot of scented roses. For a long while, this wonderful characteristic was almost gone, in exchange for big blooms etc. thank you so much. Growing roses has been my hobby all my life, at 72 years old, my favourites are Pink Peace and Climbing Pink Peace. They are so hard to find lately. Also hard to find but deliciously scented is Papa Meilland. Thanks for this enjoyable video. Windsor, Ontario, city of roses.
Thanks so much!
I have been buying roses more than spaces I have in the garden. Polka produces one of the largest blooms that attracts me. 🤔 start thinking if I can plant some in the park next to my house 😅
Rent your neighbor's yard! 😂
Planted a "Coral Dawn" this year. Man did it grow! At least 10 feet. And big beautiful fragrant pink blooms. Looking forward to adding a contrasting colour rose next year
Thank you. I am learning a lot from your videos. Just starting to love roses.
I love all roses, my favorite! Bought a new house last year, and there were none in the yard! Went to Lowe's got several on clearance brought them home gave them a new home, they are getting ready to bloom, getting new leaves, can't wait after this cold winter here in TN thanks for the tips on climbers!
Wow, what a beautiful comment, how are you? I'm Paul and I want to be your friend and I'll be happy if you accept my friendship. If you don't mind, you can leave your WeChat WhatsApp, line phone or video group, I can add you. Let's talk. Thank you 🙏
Thank you Jason, this was a timely video as I’ve just order my first climber ( Olivia Austin CL) and I’m considering adding a second to my garden. There are several you’ve showcased that I think are quite lovely so I’ll have to look into them. As always your videos are great and very interesting so thanks doing them. A fan from Austin, Texas. Oh and congratulations on your “retirement “ !!
Thanks!
My list just got bigger!
If you like apricot, orange colored roses(the color is hard to explain. Kind of like the sky at sunset over the ocean on a clear day), Tangerine Skies Arborose is a gorgeous climbing rose that produces large strongly scented blooms.
Thanks for the recommendation. I'll get it onto my own personal want list.
I have a Gertrude Jekyll, she is 20 years old now. I’m in zone 5a, northern Colorado, and she is Blooming now. I’m eXpecting frost tomorrow night!
Thanks Mary. I'm rather looking forward to this one!
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm I have 3 Gertrude Jekyll but they are shrubs roses. I moved them from Southern California to Georgia
Bare root. They are all doing well. Was shocked to experience Japanese beetles. Your video on this was very good!
Thank you so much for this info. Love the videos and all the presentation and straightforward education. This has helped me tremendously in growing my roses.
Bookmarked, looking for a sunny space in my garden and start shopping soon. Thanks Jason 😁👍
My pleasure!
Can you make a video of thornless roses? I would sure appreciate it. I also appreciate that you have such a variety of colors and roses. Very lovely. Love your cleome too!
Zephirine Drouhin is thornless climber that can put out 12 foot long canes. Wonderful fragrance. Its supposed to be repeat blooming, but in my Zone 9 flowers a lot in spring and then only sporadically
Thanks Jason for all your information on climbers, I wish I had more space, but also more importantly the sunny spots. 👍❤️😊
If you have the space, Paul's Himalayan Musk once bloomer, but can't beat the performance. Blooms over long period. Mine is growing about 20' up an old maple tree. Also, love Lady In Red climber.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Lovely video, perfect for this time of year when the skies are turning grey in Scandinavia. My favourite climber is actually Buff Beauty, so it made me really happy to hear you mention it. I have one in a large pot that is waiting for me to find a place to plant it.
Laguna surprised me this year with its beauty and strong damask fragrance. There is lighter pink sport that is called Sweet Laguna - I "accidently" bought it - and have troble finding a place for it. It's an addiction...
Jason, Thank you for this video about climbers. I am an avid rosarian and left my established roses behind to move to acerage. Last spring I put in a formal rose garden here with about 70 new roses, plus about 10 climbers. I am new to climbers and have planted two Pretty in Pink Eden climbers on my wrap around porch. It gets morning sun and afternoon shade. I hope the Edens will be okay with morning sun exposure.
I also planted Joseph's Coat and it put on a major show in its first year this summer! I have David Austin's Strawberry Hill and DA Colette, which can both be grown as climbers. I really appreciate you sharing the pruning videos and information about climbers. Thank you!
Sounds lovely! Thanks for sharing the details of your garden.
Jason thank you for a very good idea about climbing roses
Super info about roses many many thanks Jason have also subscribed, your the one-stop oracle for all things roses.
Another excellent review Jason. Really appreciate that you actually grow the things you recommend.
And interesting facts to back it up
Cheers Jason and Colleen 🌱🌱🌱
Thanks for the encouragement Jason and Colleen! I'm glad you've found these useful.
I'm so happy that you mentioned your love for the rose, 'Ghilsane de Feligonde' as I planted one last year. It had a few blooms and continued to grow super tall!! I can't wait to see if she survives our cold temps here in Zone 5b, NW Illinois. I also would recommend for cold climates, any of the Canadian Explorer roses including John Davis, William Baffin and John Cabot - super hardy roses.
Wow, what a beautiful comment, how are you? I'm Paul and I want to be your friend and I'll be happy if you accept my friendship. If you don't mind, you can leave your WeChat WhatsApp, line phone or video group, I can add you. Let's talk. Thank you 🙏
My favorite climber is Zephirine Drouhin, thornless as well and marvelous scent.
Thanks. Not so healthy in my area (foliar disease) but I'd grow it if I could!
Thank you Jason……….love your flowers
I love that one it's gorgeous I never had a rose like that it's gorgeous gorgeous
I have 2 of the Gertrude Jekyll because I absolutely love the scent. I had walked by one at a local nursery and just stopped in my tracks. I needed that rose! You will love it.
Thanks Mary. Looking forward to it!
I can echo this, Mary Jo. Gertrude has the most lush scent ever, as well as stunning color. She is a spiny thing, but worth it!
@@dougkelley2781 Gertrude's fragrance is intoxicating.
I love your videos, thank you so much! Ready to train my climbers which are just super tall vertical stems at the moment.
Thanks for the comments re the scent and florists shape of Don Juan and thanks for the Roberta Bondar recommendation- I love yellow.
Very informative video. Thanks Jason.
Love your videos, they’re always inspiring, and I’m always sharing them, they are so full of useful information and practical easy to follow demonstrations.
You named a number of roses I love, The Pilgrim being my favorite.
Beautiful 😍 🤩 Tha🎉nks for sharing the experience with all the information about the climbing rose.I appreciate it very much.
The Pilgrim is absolutely superb. My favourite. Ours is flowering its socks off (June in UK).
Sticking with you is lethal.. you’re very costly & extremely influential when it comes to roses..i’ve now exceeded 26 of the damasks .. moss roses & gallicas ..Portlands.. i’ve driven the man crazy ringing him every day adding 2 more new & take old one out business.. he must’ve gone bold by now pulling his hair off..so i chose r v roger old rose seller ..gave him 10 more to sell to me.. i’ll drive him up the wall with his knuckles too
I'd recommend Crimson Glory. Been growing at my house since the 70's.
Really did enjoy your video. Very clear & informative. All the best 🥀
Glad to know someone else loves Buff Beauty.
Thank you! Information is very helpful!👍👍👍
By influence of this video, I got a Polka and it has boomed. I ❤ it! Thanks for the recommendations and for the video.
Wonderful to hear it! My pleasure.
Well explained. Loved it.
As always soooo helpful. Thanks Jason💚
@Jane. You're right, beautiful video and what is the current situation in your country regarding the spread of the virus?
@@thomashanks9891 Umm, doesn't seem to be affecting the beautiful roses at all 😅
@@janedonahoe2728Good to hear from you, I'm doing great at the moment and If I may ask do you have a rose garden at home? Looking forward to hear from you
Unbelievable I got a new fence and my intent is to grow climbers. Your knowledge is amazing and I would follow you anywhere I know you got it already figured out 😅
loved your video Fraser
Beautul roses, very informative video. Thanks for sharing.
Wowza. Can definitely see why people are so eager to get heir hands on an Eden rose! I'll be getting a climbing rose this season, thank you for the inspiration.
You bet. It's a real showstopper!
I have Abraham Darby which is apricot color, lovely fragrance and is 8 feet. Repeat blooms a lot! Love it!
Agreed. Abraham Darby is no shrinking violet!
The David Austin rose, Tess is exquisite. Deep red, heady fragrance. Thanks for your video.
Thanks Diane for sharing your pick!
I hope one day you can introduce some Japanese roses. Recent years Japanese breeders make a lot of successful variety and they looks very gorgeous! They has more unique color and shapes, especially the blue roses, it is so special!
Thanks - I'll see what I can find out. Most of what I see in the Canadian market is from 2 or 3 large US producers (Weeks, Francis, Star). I saw a few roses on the market this year from Suntory's catalog, but not 'Applause' (the pale blue/mauve transgenic rose). Maybe as I become more familiar with different suppliers, I'll find a way to add Japanese, Indian or European bred roses to my collection.
thank you so much for the inspiration and your knowledge.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Great video - thank you!!!!! I planted "Ghislaine de Feligonde " and "Felicite et Perpetue " last fall. "Ghislaine de Feligonde" is beautiful. This year I chose "Alchymist" and "Aloha". :-)
Nice. I bought and lost Alchymist this year. Ugh. I'll have to find it again!
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm …..I’m in love with all of these roses but I’m in Calgary, AB Canada. Can I still purchase from you?
Thank you for this!!!
Belissima escolha de trepadeiras, flores incríveis...
Mais um video fantástico
Love your collection ! We have the same taste. An Austin climber that's worth suggesting for fragrance and flower production is Strawberry Hills. As for a favorite apricot color, there is an oldie that grows pretty big, but well worth the space and time; her name is Alchymist ! If you plant this one, and even though it's a once bloomer, she'll definitely become a favorite !
My favorite climbing rose that also looks beautiful as a freestanding shrub is Colette.
It grows to the size of a forsythia or a bridal veil spirea and when in main bloom in early summer, makes a beautiful and fragrant specimen that's absolutely awesome.
It does rebloom later on in the summer, but not as fully as that first bloom...but the whole plant is very shapely when left to grow untrimmed.
Thanks for sharing your pick!
Thank you for sharing this video. Very informative. I will check your website and pick some roses. 😍😁
Wow, what a beautiful comment, how are you? I'm Paul and I want to be your friend and I'll be happy if you accept my friendship. If you don't mind, you can leave your WeChat WhatsApp, line phone or video group, I can add you. Let's talk. Thank you 🙏
Those roses are absolutely gorgeous. Cheers from your newest subscriber in Ottawa🍁
Thank you Jason for another informative video showcasing some gorgeous climbers! I'm still working on my one and only 'John Davis' (which you had recommended in another video), if that produces blooms, I'll maybe have to get some more!
Did it bloom or does it look like it will this year? 🤞🏼
@@lookforward2life It did bloom and was gorgeous on one cane as rabbits ate the rest!
Beautiful Rose 🌹Love it so much 💖
I just bought the proven winners rise up lilac (I normally wouldn't order roses from PW but I needed a heat tolerant lilac anyway and was tempted while ordering on their website). supposedly one of the best climbing light purple roses, I can't wait to grow it!! I'm actually probably going to keep mine as a landscaping shrub rose
yes, been looking for polka
I just potted up a bunch of my new dawn cuttings and My wife and I discussed it and decided to plant them at our new trellis that we recently put in. It was funny because right after we had decided about it, your video showed up and the new dawn what is the first one you mentioned. LOL hey! By the way, your channel is awesome! I’ll be glad when I can get a mist system set up here at my new nursery.
You've got a pretty good collection of plants going there! Best of luck with all your propagation.
I had a Kiftsgate rose on a very very large Arbour for years. Incredibly prolific it expanded to 20+ ft branches. It is white and when it blooms the fragrance it amazing. Bees absolutely coated the flowers and you could hear them from quite a distance. Alas, the Arbour rotted and collapsed as did the rose. I was successful at 3 cuttings and would love to replant. Would love to grow up a strong tree. This rose is a winner if you have LOTS of room!
It sure is! So massive.
Florentina is a wonderful rose, super disease-resistant. I saw it in the Europa Rosarium in Sangerhausen in Germany at the beginning of September. Despite the rainy summer it looked incredibly healthy and had lots of flowers. Another super-healthy one was Bajazzo which is also a repeat-flowering rose.
Thanks! I'll look for Bajazzo as well.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Take a look at Golden Gate, John Cabbot and Tradition 95 too. All of them looked absolutely fine while others had serious problems with black spot (some of the roses I saw there were completely bare).
Another excellent video! Wish I could support your farm, but not so here in Chicago. I appreciate the recommendations yet can't decide which to choose! :)
Thank you for telling us about roses 😍🌹🇮🇹
Very much my pleasure Alexis.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm I have ordered 2 Madame Isaac Pereire and thanks to your help they will be beautiful 💜

Hi Jason, happy to hear u will “retire” doing something you love…that’s the way to do it ! Best wishes as u go forward…Thanks again for another informative vid…would love to know if you have any recommendations for a climber in a tropical climate ?
Very beautiful thank you
Great video!
You are AMAZING!
JUST BEAUTIFUL.**
Thank you só much!🥰
Just ordered some Don Juan. I can’t wait to plant them next to my garage and have the grow up the side.
Nice. They'll reward you with fragrance!
Both you’re Austin climbers GJ and the Pilgrim I will highly recommend!
Just hit the like on the way in guys!
Thanks for the vid!

My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Hi from uk luv roses
Oh yeah. David Austin is my choice. I’m going to be looking into finding a couple climbers from David Austin to put on a new pergola that I put up. You definitely gave me a couple great choices

Very good info.best stuff for promoting and getting more people into these beautiful pastimes of glorious perfumes and attractors for pollinating . Just can’t say enough for the content. Sent me a copy of it. Just great. ,!
Thanks so much for the encouragement!
Hello Jason! Love your channel.
Thank you for putting in so much effort - I do realise you don’t have first hand experience of hot/humid climates or warmer ones like zone 11 USA but would still highly appreciate input for those climates too ❤
Thanks in advance
czcams.com/video/trejh_2m9uM/video.htmlsi=v24o5EqUScq-ruVH
Yes , the once bloomming Lady Banks rose comes in a yellow and white or light pink varities. 😊
Thanks...
There used to be some good plant nurseries in Windsor, Ontario, now we have big box stores with incorrectly names plants, would love it if we could get the antique roses, heirloom types.
Great vid Jason. I love climbers !
Thanks so much! I'm a huge fan of your nursery & rose breeding.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thank you. The austin rose you mention. Gertrude Jekyll is probably the most beautifully scented roses I’ve sniffed. For quality and quantity of fragrance it can’t be beat. Another very old Austin you may want to try is Jude the Obscure. Amazing health , powerful fragrance and doesn’t flop around. Colour is a bit like buff beauty.
Fantastic. I love Buff Beauty, so I bet it's worth tracking down Jude the Obscure (maybe for next year - I'm hearing that the variety is pretty much all sold for this year)
thank you very much
Glad you mentioned Westerland… I just bought one bare root in Australia but left it in box too long as weather was so cold windy n wet and by the time I unboxed it, it was nearly dead, however it has some green and a few leaf buds so I sprayed it with rose food and am keeping it watered speaking love and life over it, expecting it to recover! It’s a gorgeous colour though I’ve only seen it online not for real. How would you describe the scent (other than strong …which is good news)?
I'd call the fragrance "sweet", but I suppose that depends on your nose.
Planted Gertrude Jekyll on a tuteur this spring.
For me, two of the best are Aloha (Boerner) and Crimson Glory, both highly scented.
Thanks for your picks Pamela
I just ordered, Bathsheba climber from David Austin.
I have Alchemist as a once bloomer, it’s beautiful.
Thanks Debbie. I've tried to get Alchemist a couple of times, but bad luck on the orders. I'll try again next year.
Wow, what a beautiful comment, how are you? I'm Paul and I want to be your friend and I'll be happy if you accept my friendship. If you don't mind, you can leave your WeChat WhatsApp, line phone or video group, I can add you. Let's talk. Thank you 🙏
I put in a Gertrude Jekyll in last year. Man it’s thorny! Not much blooms in year one. Looking forward to seeing what it will do next year.
Thanks for the heads up
Hi Jason, you have done it again! Being as it is that I am in love with roses your video is absolutely disturbing, I want them all!!!
Please advise me which would be the best acquisition to provide the profusion, beauty and fragrance of one or more roses that will drive where I live (Mallorca).
And can you provide where I can have them shipped to me?
Good God Jason, you inject so much knowledge and admiration with all your knowledge of roses 🌹. Thank you so much.
Very informative! I have Westerland, but not a proper structure for it to climb on; it's good to know it can be grown as a shrub.
Jason, do you - or will you next year sell at farmer's markets south of the river? I'm in SE Langley, within walking distance of … the other rose breeder … but you know - options are always good.
Thanks Heidi. We're planning some events around the lower mainland (and even further out) and we'll update on the website as we work out details.
Eden rose is so beautiful
wow, that is just tremendous Jason, tons of good information and ideas there. I'm sure I will be viewing this video again.
I have Don Juan in my yard but much prefer my Dublin Bay.
btw, you talk fast enough the CC gets to be a real mash-up. Probably no way you can edit that.
I'm going to agree with you on 'Dublin Bay' for consistent garden performance, but 'Don Juan' has that intense Damask scent that I can't resist. Thanks for the heads up on the captioning. YT sometimes needs a bit of correction, so I went back through the file.
In Southern Ontario we lost our Eden roses. I had it for years and I’m not the only one. The nursery said they had a huge fail rate this spring.
Not sure what happened to cause this.
I have Wollerton Old Hall which is absolutely gorgeous and never has a drop of blackspot in zone 7A if you're looking for a David Austin.
Thanks so much! I'll look for it
I have 2 Wollys and adore them. Stunning colour and scent.
Hi Jason,
Do you sale climbing Iceberg? I have many climbers but am looking for this one right now. Love to watch your video, very informative.
Diana
Wonderful suggestions. We planted Sally Holmes and Altissimo together and they make a great couple; 'Al & Sal' as we call them.
Nice - I grow both, but not together. Maybe it's time to introduce them!

Most incredible beautiful video HALLELUJAH
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Love your videos!
In my experience, many clients are disappointed to learn that many climbers on the market such as 'Eden' and 'Don Juan', are not cane hardy to cold winter areas of Canada and suffer severe cane damage as a result. They generally don't survive on their natural roots and require a graft that must be buried deep. Also needing serious winter protection on top of that, if they're envisioned to adequately fill a whole garden structure, they may still suffer substantial damage regardless of any winter protection they receive. Eden and Westerland can be treated as small shrubs in colder zones since they winterkill right down to the ground.
The following climbers (or large shrubs that can be trained into climbers) are suited to cold Canadian zones 3-5 on their natural roots. Depending on micro-climate and winter-type, wind and freezing rain can do a nasty number on roses. The canes of these varieties should hold up better or suffer less or minimal winter damage.
*Canadian Explorer Climbers:* Sir Thomas Lipton, William Baffin and its sport, Lucy Irene, John Cabot, John Davis, Quadra, Henry Kelsey, Captain Samuel Holland, Louis Jolliet, Alexander Mackenzie.
*Additional Climbers:* Albertine, Lilian Gibson, Polestar, Ramblin' Red, Repens Alba, Above and Beyond, Carmenetta, Dortmund, Rosatoum Utersen, Alchymist, Fruhlingsgold, Ames Climber, Cherry Frost and sometimes New Dawn.
If anyone else has more to add to this zone appropriate list, please do chime in... 🌹
Thanks very much for your recommendations. If you're on Facebook at all, I'd invite you to join the Canada Rose Exchange - I'm sure others there would be happy to hear about your suggested varieties.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you! I've been meaning to set up a Facebook account for quite some time, so now there's a good reason to do so, lol. Sorry about the typo in "Rosarium Utersen".
If I may ask, what is the coldest (or lowest) winter temperature where your roses grow?
I have a gorgeous Fantin leTour! Beautiful!
Strongly recommend Gertrude Jekyll, it’s beautiful and edible, you can make rose jam
Thanks - good to hear!

Thanks Jason for another comprehensive video. Can you please advise how good Buff Beauty's disease resistance is? I see this rose was bred in 1939. Normally the roses that old are not very disease resistant. (example: David Austin's Golden Celebration).
Thanks for the question - 'Buff Beauty' is very healthy. It's from a different breeding line than the old hybrid teas that struggle so much from foliar disease. On helpmefind it's rated "Excellent" by users in both foliage and disease resistance, and from growing it now for more than 10 years, I can confirm.
