      We'll see how it goes...I didn't really think about succession planting so the yard may be green all summer after the initial pop of color

      Thanks. I'm still trying to figure out height and succession blooming.
      Last year everything bloomed at the same time and the yard was green for the rest of the summer

      I don't know anything about roses but hopefully, over time, it will look like this

      Rain, just so you're not surprised, climbing roses need support, or they won't know where they're supposed to grow and won't hold onto the bricks without help. You can wire them up, which is prob, your best bet, but that may require screws in your bricks.

      In general;
      Gardening and Koi husbandry are vast subjects and there's only so much you can take in at a time. it's one of them darned learning curves, but in the case of plants, a lot less heartbreaking than leaving hoses on or off, fish that jump out, stupid kid tricks with detergents, koi diseases and the famous complex water quality foot hills.

      This book by Hugh Johnson is a classic and Johnson explains bloom succession planting and plant heights and anything else you want to know.
      Highly recommend. He has a new book out, so please just get this one.

      --------------

      The Principles of Gardening: Hugh Johnson: 9780855332037 ...
      www.amazon.com › … › Gardening & Landscape Design
      After becoming a master gardener in Alaska and gardening for 20 or 30 years in California I picked up this book and learned that all I knew were pieces of the big puzzle which Hugh Johnson has organized into what I would call the 'bible' of gardening.

      4.5/5(5)
      Format: Hardcover
      Author: Hugh Johnson

      ------------------

      Rainey, I have given away all my copies of this book. It comes in a large format paper back version.
      And while you wait for Amazon to send it, much of what you need to know about height and bloom succession is on the tag attached to the new plant.
      Annuals bloom a lot once they get going. They're living their entire lifespan in this current season/year.
      Perennials will generally bloom for a shorter time. Two weeks is not uncommon.
      Height is as you like it.
      Staggered drifts of same plants is how I like it.

      Rain thirty years ago I could have told you all about roses I had over 200 over at Mom and Dads when a water line broke and drowned them all before we knew what was going on. The water line did not even belong too anyone it was a 50 year old line that went too a distant neighbor on the back road. They did not even have a right of way too put it there, anyway you had better have some fungus spray for Black Spot and be prepared too spray every week and after every rain. Angel Face is the worst rose I have ever seen too get black spot. Sorry for the bad news. Ask Nancy Gray Cat waht she uses she has lots of roses and is already complaining about the black spot
