    Moin everyone

    We are currently looking for a yellow and/or orange climbing rose to populate our newly planned pergola. Since yellow/orange climbers are pretty rare, I was hoping for some input from the old masters in this forum.

    Our current favourite would be "Golden Gate" or "Orange Dawn". Are there any experiences or other suggestions?
    They should reach at least 250cm in height without being too aggressive in their growth.

    Hi,

    Planted Golden Showers earlier this year, got some beautiful flowers now, though its still getting established before pushing up some tall shoots.

      Thank you @wiseowl those look gorgeous. I will definitely look them up.

      And also thanks to @ricky101 . I've shown them to my wife and she said "they are a little pale aren't they?". Guess you can never get it perfect:noidea:

        Good morning @Black Dog my friend yes I'm not taking anything away from "Golden Showers" but it does tend not to hold it colour very well due to one of its parents (Captain Thomas):smile:
