    I need a purple/pink rose (not climbing) that grows up to 6ft tall. There is a lilac clematis already planted that could climb through it. I would be interested in some recommendations, as I know very little about roses. Repeat flowering would probably be good.
    Hope someone can help.

    Queen Elizabeth is a strong plant usually, often used for hedging so would suit what you are looking for. Some others which may suit include

    Corvedale reaches 5x4 they claim, mine is about 6', growing conditions probably

    Calypso is a climber, height from 6' to 15' just prune it each year for the height you want.

    Rhapsody in Blue is not quite so tall but the colour may be more what you want.
