The nuances of planting a climbing rose in the open ground. Plant care

Climbing roses, when they grow and begin to bloom, look fabulous. This plant is a perennial with a powerful root system.

If you properly cover the weaving rose for the winter, it will not be afraid of any frosts, every year it will delight you with a chic dense flowering.

Further in the article we will tell you which plants you can place climbing roses next to, and also show in photographs what the most famous varieties of these flowers look like.

The best and worst time

The best time for a proper planting in the open ground in the spring is the end of April, May, the first days of June. Before planting, the seedling is shortened by 2-3 buds.

Reference! During the spring planting of a climbing rose, it will begin to bloom in the summer approximately 15 days later.

In the southern regions can be planted in the last decade of September or early October. Before the onset of the first serious frosts, the seedling will have time to release the first roots and adapt. For the winter he will need to be covered. In spring, active growth will begin, both of the roots and the aerial parts. In summer, the rose will begin to bloom, and the abundance of flowering will be the same as that of old bushes.

The worst option is to plant in the second half of October, in which case the plant will not have time to take root and will disappear in winter. Planting in the middle of summer is also not very successful, since this year the rose will not have time to bloom.

Grade selection

All varieties of climbing roses are divided into clippers and ramblers.. Their main difference is the shape of the bush.

The ramblers have very long, but flexible stems, they need reliable support. Climbers have stiffer and more upright stems.

Previously, they were still distinguished by the abundance of flowering and the presence or absence of aroma. In recent years, breeders have improved clippers and ramblers., therefore, they almost do not differ from each other in beauty, splendor and abundance of flowering.

What plants can be placed nearby?

Climbing roses and clematis - this is the perfect combination. These plants are both braided and have a deep root system. Clematis and a climbing rose can be planted nearby, at a distance of 50-60 cm, and they absolutely will not oppress each other. You must retreat the same distance from the walls of buildings.

Attention! The climbing roses should be removed from the support for the winter and completely covered, so for the neighborhood choose winter-hardy varieties of clematis that bloom on the shoots of the current year, since when removing roses from the support, the clematis shoots can be damaged.

The best option for a duet with climbing roses is the large-flowered late-flowering clematis of Jacqueman or Vititzella.

In front of a bush of climbing roses, you can plant tall plants that are not afraid of shade. Dolphiniums and phloxes will look gorgeous.

It is not recommended to plant grapes next to climbing roses.. While it is small, the neighborhood will be quite successful, but over time it will grow much more than a rose bush, begin to close and oppress it.

Also, you can not plant plants directly under the bush with roses that need a lot of moisture, for example, zucchini, cucumbers, squash. They quickly draw all the water out of the soil and oppress the rose bush.

Growing place

• It should be sunny and well ventilated. Roses do not like the constant shade and wetlands, which never dries. You can not plant in the place where roses had previously grown, new bushes on it will not take root.
• The place, which is lit by the sun all day, is also not suitable, the rose will receive burns of stems and leaves. It should be such that the bush appears in the shade for at least a few hours.
• There should be enough space around the bush to build shelter for the winter.
• The place should be at least under a slight slope, so that rainwater drains without stagnating around the bush.

Important! Roses do not tolerate drafts, so you can not plant them on the corners of buildings.

The soil

It must be loose, permeable and fertile. The best soil for climbing roses is fertile loam.

If the soil is clay and heavy, then sand must be added to it. If the soil is sandy, on the contrary, add a little clay. Also make compost or humus in the amount of 10 kg per 1 sq. Km. m

How to choose a seedling?

They must be taken in specialized stores, in nurseries or at trade shows. It can also be ordered online.

In early spring or autumn, seedlings with an open root system are sold.. This is a huge plus, as you can see its condition when buying. Freshly dug seedlings in a new place take root very well.

The roots can be boxed and sprinkled with peat. Then you need to pay attention to the stems, they should not be stains and other signs of disease. A well-developed powerful root system and buds at rest are signs of healthy seedlings.

If seedlings with open roots were bought in advance and it is too early to plant in the soil, the roots are wrapped with a wet cloth or sprinkled with peat and wrapped in plastic, and then stored in a cool place until planting. You can store seedlings for a short time.

Step-by-step instruction: how to plant a flower in spring?

• Inventory. A pruning shears for seedlings, a shovel and materials are needed to build a support for the rose. It can be made from mesh netting, wood, metal.
• Preparatory stage.
  1. In advance for a day, the roots of seedlings should be soaked in a bucket of water.
  2. Then the roots and shoots are trimmed with secateurs to a length of 20-30 cm, this is necessary to form a powerful root system.
  3. The cut places are powdered with chiseled charcoal on the roots, and on the stems they are covered with garden varieties. This is necessary to protect the seedlings from infections.
• Pit device. The best depth is 60-65 cm, the width should be such that the roots are not crowded, at least 50 cm. If there are several seedlings, they dig holes at a distance of 1 m from each other so that the root systems develop well.
• Landing.
  1. The root neck of a seedling is immersed in the ground by 10-12 cm, this is the best protection against freezing in winter (provided that a good shelter is equipped).
  2. The roots do not press against each other, they must be placed freely, carefully filling the voids between them.
  3. 5 kg of peat compost are added to each hole.
  4. The hole is poured to the level of the soil surface and trampled a little.
• Garter and bush formation. A bush of climbing roses begin to form initially. For abundant flowering, he needs a garter.

  Important! It is impossible to fix branches only vertically on the supports, this will lead to the fact that only the top of the bush will bloom.

  1. The main branches of the climbing rose must be tied up horizontally. Then the shoots that will be covered with flowers will go up from each, the bush will turn out to be lush, and the flowering will be plentiful.
  2. You can also tie up shoots in the form of a fan so that they stretch to the sides and up, without interfering with each other.
  3. If you need to braid an arch or pillar, then the shoots are twisted around them and attached in many places.
• First watering. It is the first top dressing of a newly planted plant. It is watered with a mixture of phosphobacterin and heteroauxin, diluting them in water in the proportions indicated on the package. You can replace them with humates.

How to care next?

Regular feeding

During the period of intensive growth of the climbing rose, before flowering, it is necessary to carry out at least five dressings with manure. This is her best fertilizer.
