Top 20 of best reblooming climbing roses

BEST REBLOOMING CLIMBING ROSES

A top 20 selection in random order!

The list is made up of real climbing roses that rebloom almost continuously (Perpetual) through late spring, summer and autumn. Two Flushes isn't enough to make the list. I've also looked at availability which is an important factor too. Noisettes and Tea Noisettes undoubtedly rebloom the most so they are well represented in the list. Your input has been very valuable. There are really good repeating climbers which didn't make this list but are still a good choice. Some examples are Bouquet d'or, Mme Bérard, Gloire de Dijon (find a strong specimen), Strawberry hill, Teasing Georgia, The Wedgwood rose, A Shropshire Lad, Jasmina, Laguna, Bienvenue, Coral dawn, Awakening, New dawn, Bantry Bay, Sénégal, Étoile de Hollande climbing, Meg, Compassion, Sombreuil, Plaisanterie, St Swithun, Spirit of freedom, etc...

Top 20 best Hybrid Teas

BEST REBLOOMING AND HEALTHY HYBRID TEAS TOP 20

Hybrid Teas dominated the rose world for more than an entire century but their reign is declining rapidly. More and more modern Hybrids (crosses between different families of modern roses) are released and new real HT's with pure upright growth and only some flowers at the top are getting rare in the EU. Most new roses are a cross between HT's, floribundas, species roses and DA roses. But in this top 20 we only have real typical HT's. We've looked at health, reblooming quality and fragrance because everyone loves a fragrant rose.

The Top 20:

Chandos Beauty

Prince Jardinier (Francis Meilland)

Sophie Rochas

Line Renaud (Dee-Lish)

Pope John Paul II

Frédéric Mistral

Belinda's dream

Diamond Jubilee

Valencia

Savoy Hotel

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (Pure poetry)

Sœur Emmanuelle (cathedral bells)

Sweet Mademoiselle (Mlle Meilland)

Tropicana

Paul Ricard

La rose du Petit prince

Charles de Gaulle

Pullman Orient express

Double delight

Annapurna 

So these are in random order some of the best HT's you can buy at this moment. Of course there are many others that are also worth growing but they just lack that bit of extra health, reblooming speed or fragrance.

These include: Just Joey, Chicago Peace, Peace (Mme A Meilland), Gräfin Diana, Fragrant cloud (duftwolke), Yves Piaget, Chartreuse de Parme, André Le Notre, Tiffany, Beverly, Maria Callas, Barbra Streisand and many others.
