side.gif (7382 bytes)Roses don't really climb (most of the time).  What we know as climbers are those shrubs that have long (8 foot or longer) canes that need some support.  If the new growth is supported and trained vertically or spread out along a fence, the canes will grow that way. 

We have a few of the better climbers for northern gardens.  Most of the modern climbers are climbing sports of hybrid teas, and they really do not do well in the northern climates.  We have been adding to our collection of climbing roses, and the best are here for your consideration.
