PlantFiles: Large-flowered Climbing Rose
Rosa 'Dream Weaver'

In four years, this rose has done virtually nothing in two locations (zone 6). It hasn't sent climbing canes and provides just some sparse blooms. It lives through the winter well enough, but just does nothing. It is one of my worst roses for blackspot, getting disease already early in the spring.

Dreamweaver was the first rose I grew-first climbing rose, too. I bought the plant on sale at a Target garden dept that was going out of business in Denver. I dug the he__ out of the planting hole & amended the soil intensely and planted it in a terrible condo yard with blistering aft. sun & no am sun at all. And this ADORABLE rose grew 10 ft from June to august and bloomed like mad all that first summer. 2nd year people stopped their cars & knocked on my door to find out what it was. 3rd year they cut it down to fix the stairs & that only egged it on. WHAT A ROSE!!!! No disease, constant bloom Spanish bougainvialla look to the growth habit, no diseases, even in a really compromised situation. If you want a gorgeous climbing no-fail rose, Dreamweaver is your BABY!

Bushy, vigorous, pillar-type rose. Throws out arching canes covered with healthy green foliage and multi-flowered heads of ruffly, frilly, medium coral-pink roses that are stunning especially when there are two or more plants! Sweet old-rose fragrance. These lovely flowers don't last long in vases for me, they are better on the bush.
