Climbing rose

Description

Climbing roses green up trellises, pergolas and house walls with long, flexible shoots and abundant flowers. Repeat-blooming varieties such as 'New Dawn' provide flowers from June to frost, while single-blooming rambler roses produce a spectacular display of blooms in June. Planting them with lavender or garlic keeps them healthier.

Care instructions

Plant the climbing rose in autumn (October week 43) or spring in a sunny, airy spot with deep soil and tie the main shoots horizontally to the trellis to promote abundant flowering. Prune repeat-blooming varieties in spring (March week 12) and remove spent blooms regularly. Water in the morning at the roots so that the foliage stays dry and powdery mildew does not develop.
