I have bought a climbing rose. How quickly do you think it will grow. I have made a frame of about twelve feet for it to grow along, just curious of a timescale.it is an iceberg with beautiful white flowers, it has grown about a foot since i planted it. see photo

It looks happy! It may wait until next year to really get going. Should look spectacular.

It's a beautiful specimen, and must be very happy where it is. 12' should be enough - you are in control! Just prune it yearly to keep within your frame. They are usually pruned in late autumn or winter, after all the flowers are over. With a new plant, you may want to train growing shoots to your frame. I'm sure others will have further advice for you.
