"Barfield White Climber" rose Description
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Notes:
The vigor of this thornless climber, beginning in year two in the garden, is breathtaking! Long 10-15 foot "coach whips" emerge from main canes in mid and late summer. arching over until they touch the ground. Bound to a rebar trellis, these long canes bloom the next spring, never while still emerging and growing. It is currently being tested in Albuquerque by Lee Sherman, in Aptos by Bill Grant, and by Anita Clevenger and Barbara Oliva at the Sacramento Historic Roses Garden. I plan on continuing my research into its ID plus getting this aggressive remontant gem into the trade. So far, it, sadly, has been a very reluctant and unproductive breeder for me, dang it!

Robert Neil Rippetoe (in a photo comment for White Maman Cochet) feels that.... Barfield seems to be allied to the multiflora ramblers and polys. I'd guess it's related to Tausendschön.
