Color Your Garden With Climbing Rose Bushes

January 28th, 2008 · No Comments

If you want to begin growing roses, consider starting with climbing rose vines. They provide a fantastic addition to the landscape and are considerably easier to care for.

One of the joys of including roses in your garden is undoubtedly the fragrance they provide as well as the beautiful flowers. Who wouldn’t love going outside and basking in the beauty and fragrance of a luscious flower garden?

But in addition to their decorative capacity, the climbing variety in particular can also solve some of your home improvement issues. For example, does your view at home include the plain, drab wall of a building - maybe a garage or utility shed? Or maybe you have a fence that, while still functional, has seen better days.

Since rose vines grow up rather than out, they are the perfect solution to many of these landscaping eye-sores. Although there are many types of plants that can grow with climbing vines, roses are perhaps the most beautiful flower to be had. Why not go for the best and solve your problem with style?

Climbing roses are not difficult to grow. In fact, they can be downright simple - just make sure they will have plenty of sun exposure, good growing soil and of course, a place to expand such as a trellis or fence. The best part of all for gardeners who are impatient is that these vines will grow quickly.

In order for your vine-filled trellis or fence to look its best, make sure to perform the occasional pruning. Maintaining your rose vines is not difficult, but you’ll need to make sure they are properly trained to grow to whatever you’ve attached them to. You’ll derive the most enjoyment from your flowers when you take these simple steps to ensure proper growth.

It should be noted that climbing roses are not the same as the variety you cut and use in bouquets. They are meant to be enjoyed in their natural, on-the-vine state. Keep that in mind when choosing the best location for your plants - you want to get as much enjoyment from them as possible.

There is no need to limit yourself when it comes to rose selection. There are numerous choices so get creative.

A great selection for your rose garden is the New Dawn, a hardy disease resistant climber. Flowers are a soft pink, fragrant double bloom. One of its greatest assets is its ability to bloom for an extended period - who wouldn’t want more flowers, more often?

If you want to have a gorgeous landscape, consider adding one or more climbing rose varieties to the plan. Best of all, because these plants are so easy to manage, your friends and neighbors will think you have the greenest thumb of them all.
