I'd suggest my favorite. The Don Juan. a wonderful woody climber with dark dark red flowers that bloom nearly all year round (mine had cycles, 2 weeks of new growth, 1 week of bud development, a week or more of flowering... followed by 2 weeks of new growth).

though there were occasions where it bloomed two or three times in one month (and even in the winter! the first year i had it it bloomed on Christmas DAY!!) with at least three blooms going at once.

You might have slightly different results depending on where you live. I live in Florida...

heres a nice place to buy them as own root roses: http://www.heirloomroses.com/cgi-bin/browse.cgi?page=item&cat=13&item=432

Good luck rose hunting!

hmmm.. that looks like my dwarf papyrus ("king tut") and an 'umbrella plant' or 'false papyrus' to the left of it... or it could be a different type of dwarf papyrus to the left....

pretty pic!
