For centuries, the rose has been the queen of any garden. Many growers grow or want to grow these gorgeous shrubs on their backyards. However, the rose is a rather capricious plant and not everyone manages to get the desired results. This was the case quite recently. Now a huge number of hybrids have been bred, which differ in varieties, types, sizes, a variety of color palette, as well as adaptation to weather conditions, pests and diseases.
Climbing rose rambler
Rumblera roses (from the English ramble - "to crawl, curl") are real climbing plants. The main direction of their use is to decorate the facades of buildings, gazebos and various architectural compositions. The cultivation of this plant will perfectly hide the shortcomings made during the construction of various buildings, and also give them extraordinary beauty.
This result is achieved due to the fact that the rambler rose has thin flexible branches, the length of which can reach 5-6 meters. And due to the fact that they have excellent curly properties, they are often used for decoration. That is why most growers call them "climbing roses".
Description of the species
The foliage has a rich green color. Small-sized roses are collected in inflorescences of several pieces. A distinctive feature of this species is quite abundant flowering. But, unfortunately, flowers appear only on last year's shoots, which indicates their one-time flowering. This period does not last long, only 8-9 days.
Characteristics of varieties
Breeders have bred a lot of varieties of this plant species. But still, those that grow well in the gardens of Russian flower growers remain popular.

Agrotechnics
The soil should be neutral and not acidic. When choosing a place for planting plants, it is necessary to ensure that it does not become waterlogged, and that the groundwater is at a sufficient distance from the root system. Excessive moisture can cause fungal and putrefactive root diseases. Therefore, the best place to cultivate this crop will be a small hillock with a slight slope, along which excess water will drain.
Planting is carried out at an angle of 30 degrees to the future support intended for the plant. Thanks to this slope, it is much easier for the roots to hold a heavy plant, which will then be easier to tie up. The distance from the rose to the support should be about 70-90 cm.
The time of planting a rambler in open ground depends on the region of cultivation. It can be planted both in spring and autumn.
The scheme for preparing seedlings for planting:
- Careful examination and removal of dry and diseased shoots.
- Sprinkling cuts with ash or crushed charcoal.
- Removal of damaged roots.
- Immersion of the root system of seedlings in water for 24 hours.
- Immediately before planting, treating the roots of the young with a weak solution of copper sulfate, this will prevent infection with fungal diseases and decay.
A planting hole must be dug based on the size of the root system of the roses. Typically, it is 60 cm long and 50 cm wide. It is recommended to use only organic matter as fertilizer during planting.
Diseases and pests
This type of rose has an excellent immune system, so the plants practically do not suffer from diseases.The only disease that can still kill them is powdery mildew. But for its prevention, you can use folk and chemical agents. For example, nettle infusion.
Growing roses is hard and time consuming, but the results will be pleasing to the eye. Therefore, if you make some effort and spend time, you can make your site the most beautiful in the area.
