roses (pink) have been bred for over 200 years. Countless cultivars were created by crossing or selecting particularly pretty mutants. The climbing roses form their own group, which are characterized by their long shoots. Otherwise, the varieties within the group are as diverse as we are used to from roses. Whether simple or very double flowers, whether soft pink, strong red or bright yellow, there is something for every taste.

Climbing roses: These types of roses are suitable

With climbing roses one speaks either of the actual climbing roses or of rambler roses. Both types can develop meter-long shoots studded with colorful flowers, which transform your garden into a fragrant natural experience along fences or rose arches. But while both share a love of growing tall, there are a number of differences between the species that need to be considered before purchasing a climbing rose. If you want your garden to bloom several times a year, use real climbing roses. Rambler roses are ideal for high house facades or large rose arches, because their particularly elastic shoots like to be between 6 and 10 meters long. The actual climbing roses only manage 3 meters with a lot of effort. The growth here is more compact and the flowers are larger. But the choice of your climbing rose not only has a considerable influence on later growth and flowering time, but also on how the plants have to be cared for later.

Everything at the right time Care of climbing roses – both single and multi-flowering – can be found here.
