Climbing Roses

Climbing roses are actually wild roses.

Roses climb by being trained either through a structure or being tied to a structure.

If left untrained, they will climb up any and everything, if given the chance.

There are two types of climbing roses:

  • Large-Flowered Climbers
  • Climbing Sports of bush roses.

The large-flowered climbers usually produce more flowers, but the climbing sports present the more vibrantly colored flowers.

These beautiful plants can produce flowers in colors of red, pink, orange, yellow, or white.

 

Climbing Rose Care

Roses in general like:

  • Full sun
  • Well-draining soil,
  • Regular watering
  • Periodic fertilizing
  • Regular pest prevention and surveillance.

 Climbing Rose Pruning

As with most plants, climbing roses will need some TLC once in a while to keep them healthy.

They require constant pruning and training so they don’t get too rangy.

Only start pruning your roses about 2-3 years after they have established, removing the oldest canes.

In general, only prune spring-flowering climbing roses just after they have finished flowering.

It is okay to prune continual-blooming Climbing Roses at the same time you would prune the shrub type of rose in your local area.
