Have already ordered a Clematis winter beauty for one side to go with Rose Zephrine druaine [I think that's how its spelt]

Very stylish! Nice and chunky, too.

it was quite a chunky price but having seen other people 's flimsy ones collapse i thought i'd go for some strength. several goy members recommended firms. it is certainly heavy.

The rose you have chosen has a delicious scent and will look so lovely with the clematis.
Please take a pic when it has been assembled.

I think I heard that Rose 'Zephirine Drouhin' will grow (and bloom) in shade. Do you know Seaburngirl, is that true?

well i hope so as she is going in part shade.

Zephirine has a good tolerance in shade, some say that it is best grown on a north-facing wall.
I have grown it in sun and shade. Both flowered well.
The only weak/annoying thing about ZD is that they do suffer from mildew. :(
Plant the rose on the shady side and allow it plenty of cool air.
The scent is rarely bettered..

I love this, it's very attractive, winter beauty will look stunning, and Zephrine is so pretty and no thorns.....an extra bonus!

That is lovely..I saw some at the GC yesterday in the sale..but didn't look to see how much they were,as sadly,I don't have space for one..It will look good with the climbers you have chosen :o)
