I never had roses but need a thorny climber to cover horizontally across the top of my privacy fence to discourage people jumping over. I am zone 5 (northern Ohio) and need a HARDY climber that is DISEASE resistant and grows very long so I can train along the fenceline. I just don't want to be dusting and spraying constantly like I see my Grandma do with her roses for mildew and blackspot, etc. Is Polestar the one for me? Any thoughts or suggestions?

Altissamo-- the only cilmbing rose that Barry Coate, my UCSC hort instructor reccomends. It has a very long lasting bloom-single but large and a velvety rich red with yellow stamens. No fuss, plenty of color and dependable.

You might want to take a look at 'Antique '89'. It does have a reputation of being well-armed with thorns and was bred by Kordes.

Polestar has viscious thorns and thrives in Zone 3 (Calgary). I have seen it grow up past the eaves of a house here. No disease problems that I have seen.

HelpMeFind is just a rose data base not a rose nursery. In answer to your question, this rose would grow in the middle and southern part of the UK.

Upon visitng the website "ivillage gardenweb" there was a post from someone in Sweden that said American Beauty cl. was identical to "Wrams Gunnarstorp" named after the manor from which it was found. You might want to check into this.
