Article Directory :: Home & Family Articles Growing Climbing Roses - A Beautiful Garden Companion By Esther Smith Republish: EasyPublish™ Published: 13Sep2010 Word count: 406 Viewed: 151 time(s) Get Free Content For Your Site Climbing roses are not considered true vines because they don't grow their own support structures to hold onto surfaces. Also known as pillars, ramblers, trailing roses, they are the ideal ornament to grace any archway or fence - a rather majestic statement that you were gifted with a green thumb. These magnificent plants appear at first to be almost impossible to train. With a bit of patience, however, they are really quite easy to attach to a trellis or similar structure and will easily cooperate by spreading their branches to create a massive effect, not to mention an utterly brilliant display in color. All climbing roses can be loosely attached to a structure or wind through a trellis, arbor, fence or almost any stone wall. Climbing roses that are trained to grow laterally rather than vertically often produce more blooms. Vertically trained, they will produce short spurs along their main stem or cane which will produce blooms. Climbers need about six to seven hours of direct unfiltered sunlight a day; even plants that are said to do well in part shade still need about four to five hours of direct sunlight per day. When it's time for rose planting, you should consider that climbing roses need planning as the height and length they will grow to, must be considered. Some species can grow to be around thirty feet in height. Others can grow only to seven. Supporting these heights and weight should be well planned in advance. Additionally, consider which type of climbing rose is going to suit your garden. Some varieties are ever-bloomers all throughout the season. Others are spring bloomers -- they only bloom briefly. A real plus with climbing roses is that they require very little pruning. You can relax for the first two years. If your climbers were pruned every year they would produce fewer blossoms anyway; definitely counterproductive. Every three or four years, pruning consists of removing small canes and old or less vigorous canes at the base of the plant. At once vigorous young canes are encouraged to grow and to become long and flexible; much easier when training them through and onto structures. No rose garden is truly complete without including climbing roses into the mix. They add grace and nostalgia to any garden. Remember that patience is required as they take a while to get established and start blooming. Their beauty and fragrance are well worth the wait. E.B.
