Thanks Lozza - consider one sold - I didn't have a clue whether I would be able to find a suitable rose for those positions or not. I would love to try one at least.
Need some more suggestions though. I want to mass plant something along a fenceline - will PT give good coverage without being too rampant and heavy - how much support would it need and how close should I plant to get the coverage? Would I be better off planting it on the embankment with some other ramblers.
I understand P T has wiry, vigorous growth. Is it thorny though because I am not up for pruning thorny canes. I have rejected the idea of bougainvilleas for the same reason.
Appreciate the help. My order for PT and some others will be in next month I hope.
Yes I am familiar with Renae but hadn't got round to considering it for the embankment - thanks for the suggestion - don't quite see it on my bush fence - perhaps an Alister Clark? Might scrap the idea of a rose there.
It isn't that I want no thorns as most roses have them - just that I am wary of how thorny some get in a sub-tropical climate. I haven't the first clue about the ramblers. I have fallen for Paul though.
What if I planted Renae so she sprawled up the embankment, might need 2 or 3 and interplant with Marie Pavie, Margaret Merril, White Meidland...and others?
I am not a fan of the carpet roses although Appleblossom is quite pretty.
