One in Adelphi, Maryland, one in Wildwood, Florida, one at the US National Arboretum with a grandfatherly interest in many more around the DC area (unless noted, pictures are taken the day of post)

New Dawn if just beginning to flower on the east (and south) side of the house
I remember a New Dawn rose climbing 50+ feet into a pine tree in the backyard of a house that we moved out of when I was in first grade. It's really a great climber; no diseases and it reblooms a bit, a lot if you deadhead it but when the vine is 50+ feet in the air that's an issue. The flowers in the picture are actually abut 30 feet from where the plant is growing; I trained it up and across the back of the house, around the corner and up the chimney.
