Care tips for climbing roses
Soil
You should always plant roses in well-fertilized, well-drained soil.
Sun or Shade
The above-mentioned roses will do well in the shade. They should all be exposed to plenty of daylight, you won’t have to worry about them receiving too much sunshine.
Watering
Water the roses on a regular basis, especially during the first season after planting and during dry spells in the summer. However, be careful not to overwater them, as waterlogged soil may quickly lead to fungal diseases. Mulch to retain moisture and in late fall as well, to provide insulation over the winter.
When to plant climbing roses
Plant climbing roses after thawing in late winter or early spring to give the roots time to develop before the summer.
How to plant them
Dig a hole large enough to accommodate all of the roots. Loosen the dirt at the bottom of the hole so that roots can grow into it more easily. Then gently set the plant in it, lightly pack the earth around it, and thoroughly water it.
Pruning
In the first couple of years, when the roses are establishing themselves, prune modestly in late winter or early spring. Pruning the lateral canes encourages growth, but never trim the canes at the base. To encourage growth, pinch, cut, or prune dead leaves.
Fertilizing
In the early spring, apply organic fertilizer to roses.
Diseases
Although climbing roses are disease resistant, especially when compared to many other plants, they can still acquire issues such as powdery mildew and black spots. Remove any dead leaves from around where your roses are planted to keep them disease-free. You should also make certain that the soil in which you grow roses is not excessively soaked.
Aphids are attracted to climbing roses. They are frequently removed by simply spraying the roses with a vigorous stream of water. Here is more on removing aphids. In more extreme situations, pesticides can be used. Pest and disease problems are always best dealt with early, before they become more serious. Therefore, you should inspect your plants for any indications of illness on a frequent basis.
