Your climbing roses will make you even more enjoyable if you know some tricks and tips that will make your climbing roses grow better. 


The climbing rose belongs, as the name suggests, to the rose plants. Although the origin of the climbing rose is in the Asian region (China, Japan), the plant is one of the favorites among German hobby gardeners. There are many types of climbing roses, each a feast for the eyes, if it grows. Some gardeners complain of the sparse growth, while others have a lush splendor. Often it is the soil that is crucial to growth. But there are also other aspects that you should consider.


Tip 1 - Climbing roses need climbing aids

Very important for the rearing of such roses are climbing aids, a prerequisite, so that the climbing rose can reach an adequate height. Walls, pergolas or wooden scaffolding provide an ideal climbing aid. The plants hold on to them and can thus grow up to six meters long shoots. Arrange the branches of the climbing rose so that they run in an arc shape to horizontally on the climbing aid. Here, the cut branches should fill the facade very loose. If you arrange them too tightly, the rose is prone to diseases. In addition, it flowers less vigorously.

Tip 2 - The right location for climbing roses

As mentioned above, the location is also enormously influenced by the growth of a climbing rose. Give the plant a bright, sunny spot. It is important that the climbing rose is not in the shadow of the air. Good ventilation ensures that after rainfall, the rose can dry quickly. This prevents stubborn rose diseases such as mildew, rose rust or blackspot. Water the climbing rose regularly during the first years. Fertilize once a year is also recommended.

Tip 3 - Cut climbing roses for better growth

A quick cut gives the climbing roses enough space to unfold. But the right cutting of climbing roses wants to be learned. They may only remove shoots when they are old and dry. Even dead roses have to be removed. This will help the climbing rose to form new shoots in autumn. In the spring they must not cut away new shoots that come from the ground, because they contribute significantly to the rejuvenation of the climbing rose. All old branches that tower far into the air, on the other hand, lead to creeping aging. If no young shoots have emerged from the ground for a long time, a special rejuvenation cut will help. Here you have to cut a shoot a few inches above the ground. If the plant has vital roots, the climbing rose restarts on the remaining shoot.


Tip 4 - winterize climbing roses

In winter you have to cover the earth around the climbing rose, otherwise the plants freeze. In this way, the roots of the climbing rose are spared and are fit for the new spring again.
