    Having just erected two rather handsome looking arches in my garden I am now looking for four climbing roses to stick next to them.

    I need them to grow six feet in a few weeks and be repeat flowering. Preferably through the winter as well.

    Whilst the above may be a little unrealistic - any recommendations anyone? I don't really know anything about roses. Especially climbing ones.

      Mr Wise!

      The colour and shape don't massively concern me as long as all four are the same. I prefer a compact bloom rather than one of the floppy types. Sorry if my terminology is a bit lax.

      The garden is aligned east-west and gets about ten hours sun during the summer. Maybe a bit more.
