I don't think I ever heard anyone call these roses by name even though there were several of them around the neighborhood, as well as pink ones. Momma's old fashion climbing red rose (what she and other ladies in the neighborhood called it) was a brighter red and it sure would climb - clear to the top of the mulberry tree by the front porch. The old fashion climbing red rose bloom was more in the shape of a carnation, about 1-2 inches across and in clusters of six or more blooms. - Joyce M. Coomer
