Shropshire, England, and they add a totally new dimension to the landscape in that they are mini-climbers reaching 5 feet in height with a spread of 36 inches. All over the rose world and in cottage garden circles everywhere, there will be a cheer of celebration, as the roses will be the perfect size to fit on what I call a Victorian tower. Can you imagine a tower with Rise Up Amberness surrounded by Unplugged So Blue salvia?

As a horticulturist, I hate to confess that pruning heirlooms or old garden climbing roses has caused me on more than one occasion to do too much thinking, “Should I cut here?” With these mini-climbers, it is much simpler. Just cut back by at least a third, maybe a little more, to a good healthy bud. These roses will all have the same basic requirements, good organic rich soil with plenty of sun. As usual, a bog is not your friend.

The Reminiscent and Rise Up roses offer one more critically important trait: memories. Your children or grandchildren who grow up with these roses will remember not only the wonderful fragrance in the landscape, but also the time with their family and what their childhood was like.
