What's a Rambler, anyway?

In the world of roses, there are 5 popular types of roses most commonly grown in garden. They are: hedge roses, bush roses, miniature roses, climbing roses, and rambling roses.

What's the difference between a climber and a rambler?
I'm glad you asked. It's a point that needs serious clarifying. In a world where terms are frequently interchanged, it's helpful to redefine things. Here's what I mean...
A climbing rose USED to be defined as any rose that was prone to climb... as in, up a wall, into a tree, around an arbor or even framing a door.
And a rambling rose USED to be a title given to any rose that was prone to ramble... as in over a wall, along the ground, or hanging down from a trellis.
But now, in the garden world, things have changed.
Rosarians are no longer the purists that they used to be, in categorizing their hobby.
Yesterdays former rose snob is today's realist. Since most climbing roses can be trained to cascade downward (rather than grow upward), couldn't they be classified as a rambler also?
Similarly, since few ambler's can't be trained (or at least coaxed) around the rungs of an arching frame, couldn't they qualify as climbers? After all, many climbing roses don't hold on their own, and must be draped and tied down..

Realisly, most bush roses (though not all) can be trained to climb, if all but a few select canes are cut back, and it is allowed to amble (not ramble, mind you), up a trellis.
And while we are on the subject, virtuallly any climbing roses can be coaxed into bush form if it is pruned back enough (though, to be fair, not all climbers will bloom without sufficient height).
Still, though, my point has been made.
Sooo, at the risk of seeming slip-shod and accused of term switching, I here and now present my stand.
This blog is devoted to ramblers and climbers.
Have a good day.
