Climbing Rose Iceberg - RosaClimbing roses create a romantic atmosphere in the garden, especially when in full bloom. They grow quickly and can transform walls, pergolas, fences, or rose arches into a sea of flowers full of colour and fragrance. They pair beautifully with other climbing plants.
Why choose climbing roses?
- They add height and structure to your garden.
- Perfect for brightening up bare walls, fences, or pergolas.
- Many varieties bloom multiple times per year and offer a lovely fragrance.
Tips for growing climbing roses:
- Position: Plant roses in a sunny garden area which has at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. Plant low-growing plants in front to shade the rose's base.
- Support: Provide sturdy support, such as a trellis, pergola, or wires along a wall. Guide the branches horizontally to encourage more blooms.
- Soil: Plant in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. Add special rose soil when planting.
- Care: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, and fertilise in spring and mid-summer with rose fertiliser.
Pruning tips for climbing roses:
- Remove dead or damaged branches in spring.
- Trim side shoots back to 3-5 buds to encourage blooming.
- Guide new shoots in the desired direction and carefully tie them in place.
With proper care and pruning, roses remain a stunning feature in the garden for many years. Give them the attention they deserve, and they will reward you with lush blooms and beautiful colours.
