Managing a climbing rose from a pot is proving to be a bit more challenging than I anticipated. Unlike growing a climber from the ground, I am having trouble getting my climber to bloom. I learned though the more petals the rose produces, the more sunlight the plant needs. After trying everything possible, I suspect perhaps my potted climbing rose isn’t getting enough direct sunlight. I moved her to a different location with the high hopes she will finally blossom. Sometimes relocation is all one needs.
It’s looking pretty good to me! Is this ‘Gertrude Jekyll’?

This is actually just a pic I captured from the http://www... It does look to be a Gertrude Jekyll though. The one I am having trouble with is known as ‘Florentina’, a Kordes climbing rose. In the pictures it is a beauty, but I haven’t seen her bloom in person yet! She gets many petals like a David Austin rose so I think she just isn’t getting enough sunlight.

Perhaps not. Pot grown in shade is doubly challenging.
