Maybe your photographs don't capture the beauty of these climbing roses, but your words certainly do!:^) More specifically, they remind me of a major spiral arm in the Milky Way...
Since my job requires that I handle blood, it's pretty important that I don't have anything thorny in my garden. Instead of growing thorny climbers, I grow confederate jasmine on trellises along my fence to hide its ugliness and in a few select spots along my house to soften the look of brick.
Jasmine isn't as spectacular looking as a rose vine, but its fragrance is incredibly spectacular and it stays green year around, to boot.
Jasmine is lovely! I looked up Confederate Jasmine, and it seems to require full sun; and also will likely not survive a bad NJ winter.
My roses are in the one patch that gets full sun; I hesitate to move out of line with the development and sacrifice front lawn. I'm always in search of flowering plants that are shade-tolerant and that might attract hummingbirds (I'm ever hopeful on this count.)
I don't understand jobs that don't let you handle roses. :)
Arun, May I use your photos to promote our business of selling roses? I would like to keep them in our website, pinterest, newsletter and possibly instagram and facebook. Our business is called Northland Rosarium. We sell mail-order roses in the USA. Thank you for your consideration. Theresa

As long as there's never a rose without a prick, my job won't ever be a bed of roses -- but at least it'll never be guns and roses.

Thanks for the help with where I should plant my new climbing white dawn. Your pictures are beautiful!
