Overview
Modern Hybrid Climbing Roses could be considered to be badly named in that they don't actually climb by sending out twining tendrils but rather-more produce long lived branching stems which need support over an arch or a trellis.
There are a huge number of varieties and cultivars in just about every colour under the sun. All however feature full foliage so therefore provide a good backdrop to the generally large and colourful blooms.
Climbing Roses are sometimes referred to as Rambling Roses, but Ramblers have a separate group of their own as they do genuinely ramble, while climbers need human assistance.
Soil: Rich, slightly acid, loamy soil, moisture retentive but with good drainage.
Addition of organic matter like compost prior to planting will be beneficial.
Maintenance: Allow to climb or prune if a shrub is required.
Spray for pests and diseases as required
Water deeply once a week during warm weather and mulch well.
Feed with blood and bone or a balanced rose formulated fertiliser in spring and again in mid summer.
Deadhead to preserve energy for new blooms.
Diseases: Black spot, downy mildew, aphids can be occasional problems.
Other Species: There are 150 species of roses but thousands of hybrid derivatives.
Roses have been in cultivation for around 2,500 years and undoubtedly the most popular garden plant of all.
