I don't know how it works where you are,
but in the USA roses sold by nurseries come
with tags that provide a name and, usually,
a classification, like Hybrid Tea or
Floribunda. You might check to see if
such a tag exists someone on your rose
bush.

Climbing roses can be a real pleasure. They
can also take up a lot of room and send
canes into mowing paths! They usually take
about three years to get established, and
are heavier feeders than shrub roses.
Photos should be posted to a web page or
binary newsgroup and a link posted here.
This is strictly a text-only newsgroup.
But please do post a link. We love looking
at rose photos. :)
