OTHER:  Climbing Roses are similar to rose bushes, except they have climbing canes that allow them to climb upward. These climbers can be grown in a beautiful display covering arbors or arches, or climbing up a fence or trellis. They can be made into a wonderful privacy screen or to cover up something unsightly. Once they begin to grow, simply point them in the right direction or loosely tie the canes & they will climb upward. The huge double blooms of this climbing rose are fragrant, & will attract bees & butterflies. They are repeat bloomers, & have a long bloom time. Roses make an excellent cut flower and these large blooms will last for up to 2 weeks once cut. They are also a popular dried flower.
