I like hybrid teas myself, quickly followed by floribundas and then there are some nice grandifloras....*sigh*... I just have no land at the moment.
Have never tried climbers but, btw, the sweet peas are starting to bloom here in SoCal. I first saw and inhaled them today on my walk. Oh, and wisteria is on the way...
Don't mention wisteria to me...I had huge amounts of it in Ogden, and as beautiful as it is, it is a weed! LOL!
