What is a good rose to plant to climb a trellis?
Depends on where you live, the exposure of the trellis (roses do poorly in most-of-the-day shade) and what colors you want.

These are recommendations from the American Rose Society for "top 20 climbers" :

# Democracie LCl, dark red, 1935 8.9

# Royal Sunset LCl, apricot blend, 20 petals, 1960 8.9

# Clair Matin LCl, medium pink, 15 petals, 1962 8.8

# Sombreuil LCl, white, very full, about 1880 8.6

# Dublin Bay LCl, medium red, 25 petals, 1976 8.6

# New Dawn LCl, light pink, 35-40 petals, 1930 8.6

# Altissimo LCl, medium red, 7 petals, 1966 8.5

# City of York LCl, white, 15 petals, 1945 8.5

# Compassion LCl, orange pink, 36 petals, 1973 8.5

# Newport Fairy HWich, pink blend, single, 1908 8.5

# Rosarium Ueteresen LCl, deep pink, very full, 1977 8.5

# America LCl, orange pink, 43 petals, 1975 8.3

# Don Juan LCl, dark red, 30-35 petals, 1958 8.2

# Parade LCl, deep pink, 33 petals, 1953 8.2

# Pierre de Ronsard LCl, pink blend, 40-55 petals, 1985 8.2

# Rhonda LCl, medium pink, double, 1967 8.2

# Fourth of July LCl, red blend, 10-16 petals, 1999 8.1

# Galway Bay LCl, orange pink, 20 petals, 1966 8.1

# Pink Perpetue LCl, medium pink, 32 petals, 1965 8.1



My personal favorite, which did not make the list (probably because it only blooms once a year) is Paul's Himalayan Musk. http://www.climbingroses.com/cgi-bin/bro...
Reply:Roses don't climb like a vine so be prepared to have to weave the growth onto the trellis, fence, etc.



A very hardy rose with small fragrant flowers are any of the "Seven Sister" roses. They come in pinks, red, and yellow.



Good Luck
