It is a few years since I had 'Paul Transon' in my garden but it was a rose I always admired and enjoyed growing.

Climber, Polyantha. Highly rated for its sheer flower power and ease of cultivation. Fragrant, semi-double bright pink flowers appear in regular clusters right up to autumn. The nearly thorn-less stems are easy to train or use as a cascading shrub. A sport of the bush rose discovered in 1952. Deciduous

Austin Climber Rose. A yellow rose of delicate beauty; the golden yellow blooms are fully double and nicely cupped. The growth is strong but graceful, displaying the flowers nicely. Deliciously scented with an award winning fragrance. Good disease-resistance and repeat-flowering.
