This rose has never actually gotten black spot here in hot, wet, muggy zone 7a. This will be its fourth season. Never a dot. Nothing. Ever. I moved my two plants from shady and shadier locations against the back deck (where, incidentally, the jap beetles never seemed to find it for two years) to the front yard in full sun (partly shaded by a sparse tree in the afternoon). The only damage done was by caterpillars, and then the jap beetles did find them. I never have had a huge problem with millions everywhere like I've seen in nightmare pictures, though, so I accepted that as sort of an expected problem I never had to deal with before and knocked them off whenever I got out there. Just a fantastically healthy, vigorous rose.

Noted by
Antique Rose Emporium:
" ‘Dublin Bay’ is a very double, red climbing rose introduced in 1975. What makes it stand out amongst others is the size of its double blooms. They are easily 4 inches or larger. It is also very versatile in the garden as it can be grown effectively as a pillar rose or even in large containers where it will cascade over the sides. Disease resistant, cold hardy and fragrant."

This one has always been on my wish list, but I could never find it. I don't grow many climbers anyway. I just don't have the set-up for them, but I have always wanted to try this one.
