Steve812. Do you have deer in AZ? The only critter that could chew rose bushes to the ground, unless you have groundhogs or "whistlers"? Cl. "Dublin Bay" is a sensational rose up north here. For best results, if you ever get it to the long cane point, try and spread the canes out horizontally, then every nub will flower. If up against a house or shed, just build a frame to support the canes. I personally intertwine Clematis with as many climbing roses as I can.
