From location to propagation

Which location should you choose for climbing roses?

Like all roses, the climbing variants also prefer one sunny and warm place, although it can be a little windy. Climbing roses need light and air - for this reason you should also pay attention to that when planting neither larger plants (for example trees) nor other features (such as buildings) of the plant the sun rob.

Which substrate is the best for climbing roses?

Climbing roses love loose, well drained and loamy, humus-rich soil. This ideally has a basic pH value between 6.8 and 7.8. The soil should be slightly damp, but not wet.

What time of year should climbing roses ideally be planted?

the best planting time October days are mild for climbing roses.

At what planting distance should climbing roses be placed from each other?

Depending on the type and variety, climbing roses can be of different heights and widths. Therefore, when planting several specimens, you should pay attention to a planting distance of between 50 centimeters and one and a half to two meters. The optimal distance depends not only on the vigor of the variety, but also on the desired optical appearance.

How can the soil be prepared for planting?

Before planting, the soil must be loosened thoroughly to a depth of at least 60 centimeters. You can upgrade the excavation with plenty of compost and clay powder (available at hardware stores). Too much compacted soil can be upgraded with coarse sand, substrate with a slightly acidic or in this direction tending pH value with lime.

What are the correct ways to plant climbing roses?

Climbing roses are planted as follows:

• Prepare the soil well.
• Dig a planting hole that is at least 40 centimeters deep and sufficiently wide.
• Cut back roots and above-ground shoots by about a third.
• Moisten the roots well.
• Climbing roses with bare roots are allowed to stand overnight in a bucket filled with water.
• Now you can plant the climbing roses, whereby a grafting point should always be below the surface.
• Water the roots again.
• Now fill in the planting hole and tread the soil firmly.
• Water again.
• When planting in autumn, the root area should now be covered with leaves and / or brushwood.
• Install a climbing aid (e.g. B. a trellis).

True-root climbing roses can be propagated by cuttings, cuttings, sinkers and seeds.
