Further hybridizing is necessary to produce a similar plant with stronger stems. If they'll bloom at the same time of year, make sure the bloom colors are complementary. Use standard roses to accent a pathway or flank a door. Climbing roses can be combined over a trellis in complementary colors. For example, combine the dark pink rambler 'Excelsa' with the light pink climber 'New Dawn' for a vivid color statement.
Roses are heavy, heavy drinkers.
They like hefty, regular meals, and they want to be rewarded for the show they put on.
