One of Warner's 100 best climbers. There is some argument as to whether 'Aloha' is a true climber for it takes some time to grow more than 6 ft., but in time it will. The excellent foliage is large and glossy and highly resistant to fungal diseases. Flowers: large (up to 5 in across), pink with a terracotta centre. It flowers in June and again in September, with plenty of flowers in between. This is an excellent variety to take indoors as the flowers have a good scent and firm, long stems.

p. 54 - Produces a wealth of large blooms fairly early in the season. It has a spicy, damask-like fragrance.

p. 106 -One of Warner's one hundred best climbers. No recorded parentage. It is assumed that it is of Bourbon origin. Upright to 12 feet or more. Flowers: in trusses of 3, 4 in across, full, quartered, deep pink, but there is a mauvish-purple centre and the expanded flower shows an attractive and unusual pale, almost white, rim. It has one main flush of bloom with occasional additions throughout the remainder of the season.

Copenhagen Another climber that has never quite lived up to its early promise, 'Copenhagen' won a certificate of merit from the R.N.R.S. in 1963 and many nurserymen immediately added this bright red, fragrant and repeat-flowering climber to their catalogues. But by 1980 it had been dropped from the R.N.R.S.'s list of popular climbing and rambling roses, largely because it is a little temperamental, thriving only when it is happy with its situation, takes several years to get established and may take five or six to grow more than 6ft (1.8m). It was the first major success of Danish rose grower Niels Poulsen, and it arose from a cross between an unknown seedling (presumably with climbing blood in it) and 'Ena Harkness', which has passed on its colouring, fragrance and foliage characteristics. In the right situation it will ultimately reach 10ft (3m) on a wall and perhaps 7ft (2.1m) on a pillar. Although there is never a wealth of bloom, flowers are produced in groups during the entire season. The wonderfully bright, deep scarlet flowers are rather special; they are large, with up to fifty petals, but shapely and he coppery foliage, which is not profuse, blends perfectly with the blooms. As well as its rich fragrance, 'Copenhagen' has its good health to recommend it.

Crimson Glory was regarded as a milestone in the breeding of roses when it was introduced in 1935. It was the first deep crimson, velvety bush of real quality and represented a considerable advance on all its predecessors... it became recognized as the outstandingly fragrant rose for more than a decade and was used by nearly all the world's rose breeders...

Page 40: [Photo] Dortmund Produces an abundance of single blood red flowers in mid-June and, provided the seed pods are removed, will flower again in September...
Page 120: [One of the author's 100 best climbers] Description... After the first flush, it is essential that the developing hips are removed because 'Dortmund' very readily sets seed, and if these are allowed to develop, they will inhibit further flowering... flowers: single, blood red, up to 4 in. across, with a pronounced white eye... exceptionally resistant to blackspot and mildew...

'Rosarium Uetersen' is another of the climbing roses descended from R. kordesii and was bred from Karlsruhe crossed with a seedling.  'Karlsruhe', which is directly descended from R. kordesii, is a many petalled pink climber and has passed on many of its best qualities to 'Rosarium Uetersen'.

a recent successful sport is L'Oreal Trophy, which originated on 'Alexander'. Here the vermilion colouring of 'Alexander' changed to the orange of 'L'Oreal Trophy'.

Page 70: [PHOTO] This rose's delightful fragrance, shiny foliage and abundant flowers are not matched by many of the more recent introductions.
Page 124: One of the author's 100 best climbers. May be considered the beginning of a new era in the development of perpetual climbing roses, for of those introduced since it first appeared nearly half claim 'New Dawn' in their ancestry. It is predominantly a lateral grower, but it can exceed a height of 20 ft. on a house wall. Disease-resistant, hardy. The flowers begin to appear a little later than most.

p90 Photo 'Phyllis Bide'

p128 Phyllis Bide Introduced in 1923. 'Phyllis Bide' is reputed to be a cross between 'Perle d'Or' and 'Gloire de Dijon'. 'Perle d'Or' is a pretty apricot old China rose with R. multiflora in its ancestry and the climbing ability of 'Phyllis Bide' is almost certainly inherited from R. multiflora. 'Phyllis Bide' does not usually grow very tall. 8ft (2.4m) being more likely than 10ft (3m), although Graham Thomas suggested that it could grow to 12ft (3.7m). The plant has a dainty airiness, the small but reasonably profuse foliage matched by sprays of little flowers not much larger than those of a miniature rose. Although it is predominantly pastel in the depth of colour, the combination of yellow-pink and pale gold is very pretty. 'Phyllis Bide' is never profusely in bloom. but the flowers are produced at intermittent intervals until quite late in the season. There is a light but sweet scent.
