Looks like a climber to me because reminds me of my Rose 'Excelsa'? although I think yours is a dark red?

Does look like a climber. Maybe if you don't have anywhere else to plant it you could get a plant support like say a pyramid or an obelisk over it and train it up that. If it proves to be a rampant climber you'll have to find it somewhere else. Lovely colour though! Good luck,

I reckon its more likely a rambler because of the growth habit and the smaller flowers. If it has one main flush of flowers for about 6 weeks and then stops, that'll be a rambler. Can't see the flowers clearly - possibly its Crimson Shower or Excelsa. Do as Tess above says, give it support and see what it does. May be better grown up a wired wall, a trellised pillar or against a wired up fence.

I do hope it is something like an Excelsa', I have 2 of these climbers and both flower non stop from mid summer to the autumn giving a lovely show, but the colour is listed as crimson-pink and they do not look as dark as yours.

thanks for the feedback guys.obviously it wont pay to transplant it against a wall while its in flower I presume???

Er, no, best wait till autumn.

sorry im a bit of a thicko with plants haha

We all are when we start, Smasher - I remember when plants were just 'bushes' or 'flowers' to me...
