Cecille Brunner Climbing Rose - Rosa 'Cecille Brunner, Cl.'
This rose says "I live in Southern California" to me better than any other rose. It's easy to grow and provides a mass of little pink flowers year round but mostly in spring.

Banksiae Rose - Rosa banksiae
This ancient Chinese species rose is one of the best climbers for the Southwest. The biggest rose in the world is a Lady Banks Rose growing in Tombstone Arizona. I love it because it's big and easy, it has no pests and no diseases and it flowers for me continually from February through June. Cut back after bloom, never in winter or you,ll get no flowers.
