I've already pruned back my roses and put them to bed for the winter, but in the extended entry is a shot of the first bloom we had this past spring. Enjoy.
This climbing rose sits next to our front door. Blooms start out deep salmon, and fade through peach with yellow tints until finishing out a pale pink. By autumn, the vines go up and across the top of our doorway, and we get waves of blooms all summer long. The fragrance is very delicate.
Here's another shot of the same rose later in the season after it really gets going.

TD,
I hope I answered all your questions? If not feel free to ask or re-ask whatever you still have questions about.

One thing that worked great for us was to plant daffodils all over the place in the rose beds, that way you get early spring color and interest until the roses get going. Crocus would work great too.
