Hello Fellow Gardeners,

As far as I’m concerned, roses are a must have for any garden! Many feel that roses are difficult to grow, or don’t grow in our cold climates. Wrong! The proof is in the pictures of my own rose gardens above, and as you can see, there are lots of beautiful rose options for cold climates!

Today we’re going to continue our look at cold climate climbers! Make sure to check out The Best Climbing Roses for Cold Climates Part 1!

John Davis

John Davis features pretty pale/medium pink double blooms, a slight fragrance, and grows 6-7 ft tall! It is hardy to zone 3 with no winter dieback, and blooms from late June on.

New Dawn

New Dawn features lovely pale pink blooms, is moderately fragrant, and grows up to 6 -10 ft. It’s hardy to zone 4, but the feature that really sets this wonderful rose apart is how often it blooms…according to Heirloom Roses, New Dawn is “always in bloom!”

Alchymist

Alchymist features old fashioned blooms that fade from a pale coral to a pale yellow. It grows up to 12 ft, blooms only once (but it’s long lasting), and is hardy to zone 4. One of the characteristics that really makes this climber stand out is it’s strong fragrance!

I’ve personally owned all three of these gorgeous roses for several years now, and they’ve all done really well in my garden. Each of them have a unique feature that sets it apart! Climbing roses are some of my favorite roses because they can really make a statement in your garden! However, if you don’t have a special place to let them climb, you can also grow many climbers as shrub roses!

Stay tuned for more cold climate climbers!

Happy Gardening,

Marie Suzanne
