hampartsum said:@krun422 Karen, I was wondering about your choices. Perhaps my first question is about your colour choice: red. With the background of bricks, reds will tend to fade into the back colour and won't be as visible, so would orange-reds. What will stand out is the greenery of the foliage. On the contrary, whites will be stand out in contrast. When Jeri posted Fourth of July that is almost a non stop bloomer but striped in with white, my immediate reaction was this ought to fit best. Of course I don't have an idea what white porch means.( the general colour of the background) The wooden structure is painted white? Would you want to plant exactly the same on both ends How far apart are the posts on either end?. Perhaps two different ones that complement each other could be an alternative too.

Hi Arturo, yes the porch rails, trim and posts are white. Not sure how to describe the brick but it's not super red. It's kinda whitewashed. I got the idea for a red rose from my hanging basket of red geraniums. I attached a photo. The porch is probably 15 feet wide and I was hoping to plant the same rose on both ends. I do like that the Fourth of July is a non stop bloomer and it is certainly cute.
Thank you!
