I spoke with a gentleman from Southampton NY which is 30 miles southeast of here. He has a huge rose garden and he recommended K &M roses to me. He told me they used fortuniana. Patrick said, "they take off wonderfully". He invited me out to see his garden which would have been most helpful to me. Unfortunately my youngest sister passed away on Easter and I just didn't have it in me to go visiting anyone. I decided to design and dedicate a garden in memory of my sister. She loved flowers esp. roses and irises.
I have to prune an older Blaze climber this coming Spring (a old thick cane). What do you use to seal off roses? Is Elmer's glue OK?
