Descriptions of the best varieties of roses of the Climber group and their characteristics, planting and care
Many gardens are decorated with picturesque garlands of blooming roses. Some of them cascade down, others decorate arches and trellises. Climber roses are coveted residents of home gardens. No wonder they occupy leading positions in vertical gardening. Beautiful decorative columns are created with the help of roses. With the right care, beautiful flowers can be enjoyed multiple times per season.
Description of groups of climbing roses ramblers and climbers
When choosing plants that will decorate arches or arbors, you should pay attention to the classification of flowers. There are two groups of climbing roses. The first group includes small-flowered ramblers, and the other includes large-flowered climbers.
Rambler has thin, creeping or drooping stems that reach up to 4 meters in length. The inflorescences are double or simple; they are impressive not so much in their shape as in their quantity. The branches are pliable and flexible, so they need support. They are remarkable in that they can bloom on the shoots of past years.
Climber is a long-flowering plant. They are decorated with large individual flowers or inflorescences (up to 5 buds) and rigid branches up to three meters long. They grow more slowly, but at the same time flowers are present on all branches: last year's and young ones. The plant grows in width, and the branches are difficult to tie, so rose growers are often grown without supports on erect stems.

Climing roses can be grown in the southern regions of Russia. They have poor frost tolerance and shade tolerance. But in warm places, flowers delight with large and bright buds.
It is important: so that the roses grow in mass and correspond to the declared characteristics, attention is paid to the climate of the region, the composition of the soil, and plant care.
Landing
Saplings of weaving roses are self-rooted and grafted, as well as with an open and closed root system. Plants with an open rhizome are planted in the autumn, from October to November, and grafted plants, in the spring. Roses in containers are planted outdoors at any time.
For planting, a hole is dug half a meter deep. At the same time, a place is allocated for laying shoots for the winter under a shelter. In the pit, the soil is mixed with organic matter, and then the plant is watered abundantly. When planting in spring, the branches are shortened to 7 buds, and the root is cut 20 centimeters. After this, the sections are recommended to be treated with ash or garden pitch.
Watering
The bushes feel fine with moderate watering. It is enough to carry out the procedure once a week. Overflow can cause disease, and drought will prevent roses from blooming in full force. A lot of moisture is needed only when planting a plant until it takes root. To do this, it is recommended to make a small earthen ditch around the place where the rose is planted to retain moisture.
Fertilizer
For roses, the best fertilizer is manure or any organic fertilizer. During the period of intensive growth, mineral fertilizer can be added. Top dressing is carried out before the buds appear. As soon as the plant has bloomed, no fertilizer can be added under the bush.
Pruning
The procedure is performed over the entire height of the bush to form the crown. Pruning improves decorative qualities.
Pruning shoots is recommended in spring and summer. Dead and frostbitten stems are harvested in spring. The strongest and longest vines are left on the bush. While the plant is young, rosehip shoots are systematically removed. After 2 years, only a rose shoot appears.
In the summer, faded branches are removed. This will help the bush to rejuvenate and provoke the formation of replacement shoots.
Important: it is not recommended to remove shoots in autumn, as new shoots will grow, which will not have time to ripen by winter and therefore will die.
