In order to beautifully plant trees in an upright position, it is recommended to use climbing roses. The main thing is to know how to tie up such plants correctly. Not every support can withstand the above-ground mass of flowers.

General rules for the care of a climbing (curly) rose

Climbing rose seedlings have an open root system, therefore, before planting, for a day, they must be left in water. The plant is planted in spring. Before planting, it is necessary to cut the rose into two shoots, this is about 30 cm. The stems are not cut in autumn, this procedure is carried out only in the spring. The root system is cut by 25 cm. After planting, the bush is sprinkled with pre-crushed charcoal. This is done for disinfection.

Climbing roses

When caring for a climbing rose, you need:

  • Watering. In the summer, an old climbing rose can be without moisture for a long time, however, flower growers still recommend watering the plants as the soil dries out. This is done under the very root system in the late evening or early morning. Powdery mildew is a common plant disease. It appears if a lot of moisture gets on the leaves. It is forbidden to water the plant little by little and often.
  • Top dressing. The quality of flowering and the growth rate of the climbing rose directly depends on the feeding. If you do not give the plant useful substances, then it ceases to bloom profusely, loses its ability to maintainability. Top dressing is of two types: root and foliar.
  • Mulching. During this process, moisture is retained in the soil, the growth of weeds is blocked, the plant is additionally fertilized. Peat, manure, mown grass, leaf humus, chopped bark are suitable for mulching.
  • Loosening. To improve the aeration process and reduce weed growth, loosening is carried out.

Tips and tricks from experienced florists and gardeners

The climbing rose is supported by stone, wood, plastic and metal. Several factors affect what the frame for the plant will be made of: the design of the garden, the price of materials and construction, the variety of flowers.

The horizontal bars should be placed 50 cm apart. Additional transverse beams are made if the bush is highly branched.

Note! Large spherical supports are perfect for bushes with large inflorescences. The vertical supports are suitable for small inflorescences.

For a minimum investment, the plant can be planted near a fence or shed. They will serve as a support for the plant. In order for the plant not to become infected with an infection from the support, it must be painted and varnished.

Instead of a trellis, you can use a fence

The climbing rose is widely used to decorate garden plots, however, if it is not properly secured to a trellis or support, flowers will appear only at the top of the bush. It is necessary to form the plant so that as many branches as possible are in a horizontal position, then the gardener will receive beautiful rose bushes with abundant flowering.
