This rose is what I would recommend as the best yellow climber in a warm climate. It is so vigorous and always has lots of its buttery yellow, fragrant blooms. It is also disease free in my garden. Its only fault would be that the blooms are easily damaged by the rain.

Debby, I live in Chico, CA--very HOT summers. Most yellows fade rapidly to white--how does the duchesse hold its color in heat. Certainly looks beautiful in the photos! sally |

We get very hot here in San Bernardino county. DdA holds her color very well with little fading. That is one of the reasons I recommend this rose so highly. Debby |

Thank you so much for your input--I see I can purchase it from Greenmantle Nsy. You are the second person to highly recommend this rose to me & we have very little rain here in summer, so it should be a winner in my area. sally love |

Greetings,I am considering Annie Laurie McDowell for a spot in my garden that gets less than full sun (Z 9). The description by K. Rupert sounds terrific; Shade tolerant, VFrag, CB, VDR Thornless. Do you find it performs as stated? Do you have any other recommendations for a rose with these characteristics (any color, 6-12 ft)Many thanks, Lizzie

Lizzie,My Annie Laurie McDowell is still in a pot, I hope to put it in the ground this summer. Per Kim's recommendations I have been pinching buds to encourage growth. I plan to put it against an east facing wall based upon his recommendations.Debby

Debby, I see you have an established plant of Reve d'Or. I have what I think is Reve d'Or, but the peachy color is not as pronounced and it carries a supply of thorns. I had heard this variety was nearly thornless. While my canes are not covered with thorns, the ones it has are judiciously placed and quite sharp. Is your plant armed in this way? Thanks, JoeB. |

Joe,
I did not see your message here when I replied on Rosarian's Corner! The color is very variable with the season and I did doubt the authenticity of mine the first year. I think I have more pictures of it on RC then here on HMF. My plant came from Chamblee's.

Debby your garden is lovely. I'm especially interested in your critique of 'Bridge of Sighs' as to disease resistance and overall health/vigor. Also, does the color fade a great deal in sunlight or as they age - the bloom in your garden is so very different from the one in Clliff's garden in the desert? In reading Philip Harkness' book "Reliable Roses" he says flower production is prodigious. I live near "hot, humid Atlanta. Thanks so much for your input. Marilee

Marilee,
I am sorry that it has taken me so long to reply. The 2nd picture of Bridge of Sighs is not mine. My plant is still small and potted. I hope to get it in the ground later this spring. I would like mine to look like that picture too!
