I have heard of them now Tel. They are bred by Harkness Roses and have a long flowering period. They are a cross between hybrid tea and floribunda. There is an advertisement for them in Garden Answers which I am looking at this morning. Gimmicky name, but beautiful roses from a good rose grower.

Very pretty roses from everyone.

I was just wondering if it would be okay to put miniature roses at the base of climbers and hybrid teas or just plant annuals that have shallow roots as not to compete with the roots of the rose?

I've observed from walking around the local park that climbers and hybrid teas get "naked knees" and wanted to figure out what would be good companion plants to hide the scraggly parts.

There is a rose sale at flower farm near us and wanted to go with my MIL and see if we can find some nice climbing ones.

If you do decide to buy any climbers, make sure they're repeat flowering ones.

There is the voice of experience. I agree with all that Geranium and Geraniums offer a long flowering season and can be cut back if they sprawl or outgrow their allotted space. Then they will have a modest second flowering, but produce more fresh leaves.

All repeat flowering ones, and not too vigorous. Cants sell them all, too.
