Can anyone tell me the name of this rose? I know it's a climber, is long-lived & disease resistant.

Check "Alberic Barbier." It fits your description.

You're welcome, Renee. Since "AB" has been around since 1900, I think it's proven its worth!

It sure is indestructible! I need to move it because it really is in a bad spot.

It would be best to do that when the plant is dormant, Renee. If you must move it during the growing season: water, water, water!

Climbers when they set right can be magnificent. I had one by surprise i bought at a kmart, no name, it took off and covered the entire side of the barn within a couple years and bloomed all spring into fall. magnificent. Since you live in VA, I would say it came from Montpelier and just call it your "Virgin Dolley Madison Blushing Bride Rose" and enjoy the story which you can embellish each year with more cocktail parties..;)
