Few gardening feats look quite as impressive as the incredible sight and scent of traditional English climbing roses draping across a garden archway or pergola.
This problem-solving collection churns out flowers for four months of summer and produces a fabulous fragrance which wafts on the breeze through the garden – particularly on warmer days.
Climbing up to 450cm, these roses are perfect for growing up trellises, arches, walls, or fences. What’s more, the first display will appear in the first summer to fill any garden with colour and fragrance.
A breeze to grow and maintain, your collection will include one each of :
- Rose ‘Dublin Bay’ – a sumptuous red double, growing up to 250cm;
- Rose ‘Golden Showers’ – bright sunshine yellow, growing up to 450cm;
- Rose ‘Zepherine Drouhin’ – vibrant pink, growing up to 450cm.
Supplied as three bare root roses, ready to plant out.
Care Information
Planting Advice for your Climbing Rose Collection:
- Roses can be planted at any time of the year, as long as the soil is not frozen, waterlogged or drought-dry.
Plant your rose where it can get plenty of sun for at least half of the day, and where it will be sheltered from the wind. - Roses tolerate wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, so add plenty of well-rotted manure into the hole if necessary and plant so that the graft union (the swollen area when the stems meet the roots) is around 3cm below soil level.
- Water well every other day – daily if the weather is hot and dry.
Rose Aftercare Advice:
- Established roses can be watered around once a week through spring and summer – more if the weather is hot.
- For best results, feed roses in late-March/April and again late July.
How to Prune Roses:
- To prune, just remove any dead, dying, damaged and diseased stems and also deadhead regularly.
- Height can be restricted by cutting back any branches or shoots that are over-long.
- Traditionally, you would cut just above a leaf joint with a sloping cut away from the bud, however, this isn’t necessary, and don?t worry about pruning too much – roses are very resilient and will grow back.
- When pruning, make sure that your secateurs are clean and sharp to prevent squashing stems and introducing disease.
