Climbing Roses
This group has long arching canes that do not climb by themselves, although they can be trained on a trellis, fence, or other substantial upright structure. Flower form is variable, varying to many small clusters of flowers to almost Hybrid Tea-like. Hardiness and disease resistance varies as well.
