I'm planting one today. I hope mine is as prolific as yours. I had Climbing Iceberg there since 2006 & it died over winter. I ordered what was left on sale at Edmunds. I looked at other climbers & this seems like it's one of the best new climbers.

mine is doing well and is once again covered in flowers and at least 6 feet tall in May. Love the way each bloom lasts so long and is such a brilliant orange. hope yours does as well.

Thank you.
After winters of 2013-2014, 2014-2015, I tried buying more own root roses last year. But this past winter I lost a lot of old established own root roses including minis & minifloras that I'd planted in 2002 through 2008. I don't winter protect, only add additional mulch around bud unions if I didn't plant deep enough to have them under the soil. I add extra cedar mulch around bases of all of them.

None of the mini or mini-flora I grew survived my zone 5a winter either. They all died the 1st year !! Now I aim for the TALLEST & largest rose FOR OWN-ROOTS.

I am in the pacific northwest and planted this rose in 2012, it grew well and had lots of blooms in it's first year. Unfortunately whenever it rained the flowers became very heavy and sort of melted into a slimy mess. I have it in a large pot right now while i make a new rose bed against the house partly under the eaves. i am hoping this will help preserve the blooms when it rains as it is a beautiful rose with a wonderful fragrance. Anyone else have this problem with it?

I have my CPM planted in heavy alkaline clay, with a limestone layer underneath. CPM is aggressive as own-root, secret plenty of acid to go uphill into the rock-hard-clay area. No balling nor mushy problem here, despite heavy rain. It was stingy in its 1st year, then I gave it sulfate of potash and it blooms lots in partial shade (less than 5 hours of sun). Very healthy as own-root in my dolomitic clay.

I found a reference to this rose in Botanica's Roses-2nd Edition. It says it is a large flowered climber,
Simi USA 1968 Parentage New Dawn x Fashion There is also one picture of a flower.

Thank you for your interest blueisland.
There are two different 'Casa Blanca' roses. HelpMeFind has both listed :
Casa Blanca (large flowered climber, Sima 1968)
Casa Blanca (floribunda, Select Roses B.V.). Intro 2003.
The floribunda has only been sold in The Netherlands I understand. Not much is known about it.
You probably need to move your photos out of the floribunda page and into the climber page.

thanks for letting me know. When I did a search only the floribunda came up so I didn't realize there were two roses with the same name.
