Lady Banks roses are a vigorous climber with clusters of soft butter colored tiny roses. I got mine from cuttings from my uncle who lived in Moncks Corner, SC. His were planted on a chain link fence and they covered the entire fence along the back of his yard. They are a pain in the tush to root, for me anyway. Out of three attempts of about 12 cuttings each time, I got ONE to actually root. To tell the truth, I didn't think it had made it either, so I put the pot out under my fig tree beside the well house. The following spring, I noticed that it was climbing in the tree. It's already bloomed out this year and then we had a killing frost. That took care of the blooms right now, but it should come back out again. My whole tree was a gorgeous yellow. Wish I had a picture to show you. The draw back is, you have to keep it pruned so it doesn't completely take over everything. Just delicate little clusters of yellow roses. No noticeable scent.
