Climbing Roses

Climbing roses are vigorous growing bushes with long trailing stems making them ideal to cover a bare wall or fence or to train up and over an arch or cover an obelisk. Blooms of Hybrid Tea, Floribunda and Old Fashioned varieties are available within the Climbing rose category making it easy to find something you fancy.
Allow around 2m between each plant and take care to train the canes in the direction you want. To ensure the rose has established itself do not prune the bush for the first few years, and after this only minimal pruning is required. For maximum flower power try to espalier the long canes horizontally to promote lateral growth and therefore maximum blooming potential.
