Rose for Rose Arch?

I have just bought a rose arch for my garden. It is in a fairly exposed situation and I was wondering if any of you could recommend a good climbing or rambling rose for it. I want something hardy and that will produce lots of flowers with lasting blooms rather than something that has all it's blooms at the one time and then a week later nothing. Think I would like white flowers but it doesnt have to be. Meant to say, I'm in Northern Ireland so want something that will grow well there, and also that is available here !





Thanks

My two favourites are Phyllis Bide, smallish pom pom like flowers in dark cream with pink edges (From David Austin) and Purple Skyliner, small dark purple semi-double flowers with a lovely scent (Peter Beale). They both flower for ages, have lots of flowers, and are tough. You would be better with a small flowered one if it is exposed.

Have a look at the link. Some good advice available!
Reply:A Lady Banks rose produces beautiful yellow flowers and is extremely prolific...with no thorns. However, it is not "everblooming". If you like would like a particular rose, you might co-plant it with a clematis that blooms on the roses' "off" season. Or Jasmine,, if it grows in your climate. Co-planting gives you a lovely layering of color and blooms all season!

Reply:i have here David Austin's handbook of roses, you can get one or look at his website www.davidaustinroses.com. It lists roses for each situation with pictures and gives all the info you will need.





one that sounds a possibility is Snow Goose - it does not grow too tall and it repeat flowers well. It bears large sprays of small, glistening, white flowers. The outer petals are quite long and the yellow stamens just visible, giving it a charming, almost daisy like appearance. Stems relatively thornless and straight but they are still easy to train over an arch or across a wall, fence of trellis. Very healthy and reliable. Sweet musk fragrance 8ft.
Reply:Albertine- lots of pink flowers grows well and quite quickly. Only problem is that is very thorny.
