Growing Climbing Roses

Rose gardening is one of the more popular past times

, and one that can create a feeling of calmness, because of the beauty that these roses naturally have.You can never have a fully complete rose garden if you do not try growing climbing roses.This variety of roses are also called trailing roses, ramblers, pillars, and everbloom. They are not vines per se because they do not have support structures of their own. Climbing roses are great ornaments to enhance a fence or an archway in your garden.

Since climbing roses are not able to hold fast to structures the same way vines can, we have to do something to help them. A grower can attach or wind these climbing roses loosely through structures. Most climbing roses can be found on sheds, walls, pillars, fences, trellises, and arbors. It can be anything as long as it is a big and stable structure.

The roses that grow in a lateral direction have more blooms than the vertical ones. The ones that are vertically trained grow short spurs by the stems. The way that climbing roses grow is the only thing that sets them apart from other kinds of roses. They need around six or seven hours of direct sunlight per day. Even if they are roses that grow well in a partly shaded area, they will still need at least four hours of direct sunlight.

If you want to try growing climbing roses, you need to consider the length or the height that the variety you choose can grow to. Some of them can measure as high as thirty feet while some are only up to seven feet. It depends on the species that you grow. You have to check whether the structure you are looking at is capable of supporting the climbing roses. The plants height is dependent on the climate in the area you live in.

You have to choose the rose species that will fit the rest of your garden. There are varieties that bloom throughout the year. Some only bloom during the spring months.

Growing climbing roses is actually easier than other rose plants, because you do not have to prune them as much. In fact the first two years of the plant's life requires no pruning at all. If you prune the roses each year the way that regular rose plants have to be pruned, you will end up with few blooms. You can prune them every three years at the least but you still have to limit it to taking out the small and old canes at the plant's base. The younger canes should be allowed to grow and increase in height so that it becomes easier to trail them onto structure.

Rose gardening is not just purely science, it is also an art which can only be completed with a lot of patience. You might have to wait a while before your roses start to bloom. It will be worth it once you get to enjoy their beauty and wonderful fragrance.
