Looking for an no-need-to-deadhead repeat bloomer
Comments (3)thanks for the good ideas. Archduke Charles looks like a perfect fit for my taste - I especially like roses that are more than one color. Actually I've considered using Monsier Tillier in this spot against the fence, (I love its various colors). It has completely outgrown its place in another part of my garden, and I've wondered if I could keep it to a more modest size; it has formidable thorns as well (!). I never find these choices easy!...See MoreHow many repeat bloomers to you have that actually repeat?

Comments (7)I agree with Sara--Dublin Bay is a nice red, fairly good disease-resistance, and has some repeat bloom periodically throughout the summer. Bad news is that, like most climbers I've grown, the repeat is sporadic--not very reliable or strong. Based on my experience, the repeat problem is common among climbers. Maybe it also relates to how long the climber has been growing in your garden--I think maybe you need to wait about 5 years to get it really going. In fact, the only decent repeater I ever grew was Golden Showers--which I had for 15-20 years, but didn't really repeat good at all until the last few years when I started paying it special attention and watering it more. (It got RRD--wouldn't you know it, just when I got that baby performing well!) I think St. Swithun will need a few extra years to perform well too. (I had it briefly--another victim of RRD). I am presently growing The Pilgrim--which hasn't done a lot its first year, but the blooms are gorgeous. Same is true, I'm told, about Teasing Georgia, which has more color than the more pastel Pilgrim (or so I am told). Like St. Swithun, I expect to wait 5 years to get something really good in terms of repeat bloom. I used to grow Viking Queen which was somewhat more ready to bloom and seemed quite promising on that score. However, the blooms were not as lovely as the Austin blooms. I have an order in for Spring for the hybrid multiflora Ghislaine de Feligonde---which I'm excited about. Entirely different look, but I'm already anticipating that it won't be a strong rebloomer--or so the comments would lead me to believe. My Eden climber was one of the most gorgeous bloomers you could have, but not strong on rebloom. That's about it for my experience with climbers. I usually concentrate on finding disease-resistant climbers under 12 feet (for my pillars). All the above climbers are reasonably bs-resistant. I also run a clematis up each pillar--to give me a bit more bloom to pick up the slack when the roses are in no hurry to rebloom. Hope that helps.

Comments (11)I have several echinacea varieties, but have the best luck with 'Prairie Splendor' when deadheading. There are others here who can probably address results with other varieties. I get rebloom on the others, but the blooms are typically smaller than first bloom. On Prairie, I get blooms that are the same size (though not as many nor as tall as the first bloom). My PS bloomed from May through October with deadheading. Everything else had given up! I planted the zinnias from May through mid-July. However, I never had to pull out any plants in midsummer as the Benary's Giant bloom and bloom as long as you cut back to a leaf node. I had zinnias until October that were over 4 feet tall. Prairie Splendor can be grown true from seed. Seeds planted directly in late fall or winter bloomed in late summer the following year. There will be some interesting colors that appear as the Benary's Giant bloom so long and the cross-pollination is rampant with butterflies and bees!...See MoreILoveRed
