| They sound too good to be true. Are there any nasty surprises awaiting me? I have quite a small garden which is north facing (although it doesn't seem too overcast to me I daresay the roses might think differently) so I need to pick and choose roses quite carefully and repeat/continuous roses which will climb a bit (trellis coated fence) which can tolerate some shade sound like just what I need.
This is my current working list to decide from
Reds
Altissimo
Nur Mahal
Parkdirektor Riggers
Skyrocket
The top 3 seem similar (single) so I should probably get this down to one or maybe two.
Yellowy Gold
Golden Showers
Pale Yellowy
Celine Forestier
Danae
Pax
Penelope
Out of these I'm favouring Celine Forestier and Danae
Whitish
Prosperity
Mme Alfred Carriere
Like the look of both can't decide
Pale Pinkish
Cornelia
Kathleen
Sally Holmes
Narrow Water
Felicia
Out of these I'm favouring Cornelia
I also like the look of violette although it's not a climber or repeat/continuous but it is an unusual colour. I was quite keen to have New Dawn but I heard it can get quite big and that it can often stop repeating.
Advice or comments on any of these or suggested replacements welcome as I am a novice rose gardener. Realistically I can probably get only 5 or 6 roses into the space I have so I want to avoid ones that don't give me maximum benefit.
