My favourite type of rose has to be the rugosa rose. Often scented, beautiful orange red hips and fairly low maintenance

I don't have very good luck with roses!! 
I planted an old-fashioned climbing tea rose I dug up at my dad's house.They were planted by a family relative about 50 years ago!!  It's the only rose I've planted that hasn't died. It has the old-fashioned rose smell  with tiny pink blooms in a cluster I think they are sometimes called seven sister roses.

I think maybe that is the rose that is climbing up the fence between two of my yard sections. It has clusters of little pink flowers. We had them in our yard when I was a kid. I couldn't remember what they were called until I read the post. Seven sisters. They will get new roots if you bend a branch over and cover it with dirt. DR likes Joseph's Coat because it changes colors almost every day. They smell good, too.We have a lot of rose bushes here but I didn't plant any of them so I don't know the names. Well, I planted two. A Queen Elizabeth and a Tropicana. Both are climbing. Dooley

My Joseph's Coat and Tropicana arent growing.  I think I may end up losing them. Those and two others I have, the Perfecta and Irish Creme.

Last year, after acquiring 4 white trellis planters for the garden, I made the decision to put roses in all of them  . I never thought they would grow as quick as they did  . Looked great . Kept having to dead-head and tie back  , or else they would have been out of control . Pruned them all a couple of weeks ago.
