Let's get acquainted with the magnificent variety and select the best varieties of climbing roses for the site.

There are two main types of this plant:

Rambler

"Creeping up". These are the most common flowering lashes. In height - from 1.5 m to 7 m. They have medium-sized buds, the number of which per inflorescence is from 5 to 20 pieces. Their size - up to 5 cm, are scattered throughout the bush. Duration of flowering - from 1.5 to 2 weeks, once, in July.

Flexible stems are pliable for weaving. Leaves of medium and small size are located on the stem without thorns. They need support. It is necessary to plant at a distance from each other, sufficient to bend to the ground before wintering. Old or damaged branches are removed at the end of the summer season. They bloom only in the second year of shoot formation. Therefore, careful pruning of the plant is required.

Crumblers

Rambler hybrid. They appeared as a result of crossing several types of ramblers for breeding winter-hardy varieties. This variety survives frosts more easily, vines are less flexible.Flowers are located both throughout the bush, and in the form of armfuls. Leaves with a glossy surface are resistant to diseases and pests. They are larger than ramblers. Thick lianas, up to four meters high, are stable without supports.

There are varieties that require support. One drawback of these rosaceous ones is the sturdy, thorny thorns. Therefore, it is safer to care for them with gloves. Bloom all summer with repetitions or continuously. Old, dead or deformed branches are removed in the first spring months. Flowering from the first year of the formation of a young shoot.

How to care for climbing roses

Reproduction

Carried out by seeds, layering, cuttings.

• The seed method is difficult to use for gardeners.
• Branching the method consists in the fact that the young vine is tilted to the ground until the time when it takes root. Then detach and get a separate pink color.
• Cutting method used more often. After the end of flowering, use the middle part of the vine for further germination.

In horticultural centers there are ready-made cuttings of climbing roses for every taste and color with an open root system or in garden packaging.

Average cost:

Price for a rose bush: from 246 rubles. up to RUB 2500

It depends on various factors:

• the age of the seedling;
• unusual color;
• the width of the choice of the landing region;
• size and unusual
• flower shape;
• flowering duration;
• frost resistance;
• resistance to disease;
• lash height;
• presence of aroma, etc.

How to choose a seedling, mistakes when choosing

In garden centers, rose seedlings are presented:

• in containers. Cuttings in garden containers are an earthen ball, completely entwined with roots.
• With open roots - packed in paper or cellophane, roots covered with hydrogel.
• Packaged - sealed in cellophane, the ends of such seedlings are covered with wax.

It is advisable to choose 2-year-old seedlings with 2-3 shoots. Adult species take root more difficult. The branched stems are healthy, strong, green with a few viable buds. Possible damage from spikes or others.

Black mold, spots, red burns, an unhealthy look of the stems are the reason to refuse this shoot.

By weight, the package with roots should be weighty.

If in doubt, ask the seller to print the plant for root inspection. They are usually folded. Should not be dry, lifeless, or with traces of decay, mold. There may be cases of curved growth of shoots relative to the root (at an angle).

If a visual inspection leaves a good impression, then feel free to buy a seedling and plant it no later than the beginning of the month of May.

The soil

These plants do not like stagnant moisture in the roots. A light, nutritious soil consisting of peat, humus, a small amount of sand for looseness will be suitable. If the soil is not very suitable, its properties can be improved. Add sand to clay to increase looseness, to sand - clay for viscosity.

Boarding time

For planting, you can choose the period before the first frost in mid-autumn, at -5, -7 degrees. In spring, this period is no later than May.

Cuttings planted in the fall will grow harder. But if you doubt that they will have time to adapt, then choose spring time. With this method, the bushes develop more slowly, but more reliably.

Landing

A convenient method of planting is cuttings. Before planting, you need to prepare the root system:

1. First, the roots are carefully examined. The future abundant flowering and healthy growth of an ornamental plant depend on this.
2. If the purchased cuttings are open, then it is worth removing all brown, dead processes, leaving light, living roots.
3. The tangled parts are untwisted, the long ones are trimmed.
4. The lower part is soaked in water to saturate the plant with the necessary moisture.
5. Then they are kept in a clay mixture with fertilizer to strengthen and grow the roots to form a clay shell.

Planting a plant consists of several stages:

1. In the chosen place, a hole is prepared, approximately twice the size of the roots;
2. In order for the roots to grow horizontally, a piece of slate or concrete slab can be laid on the bottom;
3. The stalk is deepened to a height of about 5 cm from the inoculation;
4. The roots are slightly bent;
5. They are covered with a specially prepared soil mixture of peat, rotted manure, ash, sand, compost in a ratio of 1: 1: 1: 1: 1, mixed with 2 parts of garden soil;
6. Watered so that the earth compresses and fills all the voids;
7. Then the surface is leveled, mulched or covered with expanded clay to protect the topsoil. This will keep moisture in the summer and create additional heat in the cold;
8. Additionally, you can cover the seedling with paper or a cloth to protect the unripe plant from burns.

Seat selection

Climbing roses love well-lit places without drafts. This is the southern, southwestern or southeastern part of the site. It is advisable to change the planting site once every 10 years to maintain the quality of flowering, growth and health of flowers.

Watering

Required humidity for roses: 700 - 800 mm of precipitation per year.
Pink vines do not like stagnant moisture, so you don't need to overdo it when watering. During flowering, the amount of water will be required 3-4 times more than usual in order to prevent them from burning during the sun.

Good watering will ensure a lush, long flowering rose garden.

Pruning

The haircut is carried out in the spring when the winter cover is removed from the bushes. Frees from frozen, weak, old, sick lashes. Then, after the end of the flowering period, overgrown, stiff or extra shoots are removed before wintering. Pruning will significantly reduce the susceptibility to diseases of rosaceae and increase their flowering capacity. To create a decorative appearance, one haircut at 4 - 5 years is enough.

Nutrition

The pink queen loves nutritious soil, so do not forget to feed her. The blooming beauty loves organic fertilizers. They can be added to the hole, at the very root, in the spring, in the middle of summer and at the end of the summer season. Diluted mullein, purchased organic mixtures, with macro and microelements, ash is suitable.

Diseases

Climbing roses can be susceptible to diseases and pests:

• spider mite;
• aphids;

The first signs of the disease will be weakened, withered leaves. By examining the leaves from the back side, you can find the pest.

When climbing flower beds are not fruitful, chemicals can be applied to them to kill harmful insects. A good solution would be to treat the vines with special means in the spring before the leaves appear, in the middle of summer, in the fall - before wintering.

Garter

Scourges do not have tendrils to help them grasp the supports. They must be tied up at the initial stage of the appearance of a new process. So it will be oriented in the right direction of growth.

Shelter for the winter

On the packaging with cuttings, the manufacturer usually indicates the conditions necessary for the successful wintering of rosaceous queens.

Usually, the shelter is carried out before the first frost, at an air temperature of -5, -7 degrees. They are bent to the ground and covered with a covering material.
