Twining Bloomers: Clematis & Climbing Rose Combination

Clematis and climbing roses magically intertwine on vertical supports—like the wall of Jerilyn Silver's barn in Nambé, NM. Designer Sarah McCarty combined 'White Dawn' (large-flowered climbing rose) with 'Venosa Violacea' (blue-violet clematis, 1883).

NM winters cold/dry—McCarty "winterizes": slow-release organic fertilizer dug in, 12–18 in. mound of soil+mulch around each crown with center hole for slow-drip hose.
