Climbing roses play an important role in the garden by providing the interest of a vertical element in contrast to the low-lying shrubs and bushes. Think of them as roses in the air. People have grown climbing roses for a long time, but in the beginning most were once blooming or lacked hardiness or had small flowers. Imagine the excitement over the arrival of ‘Dr W. Van Fleet’, the first large-flowered climbing rose and its repeat-flowering sport, ‘New Dawn’. The large-flowered climbing roses, including many direct descendants of ‘New Dawn’, are described and generously illustrated in this book.
