Climbing Rose ... standard rose bushes. Climbing rose bushes whose names are not prefaced with ‘Climbing’ or 'Cl' are bred by crossing two rose bush varieties. They generally have a heavy spring crop of rose blossoms followed by a repeat bloom and usually a good fall crop of rose blooms with a few exceptions. A few seedling Climbing roses bloom only once and are so noted here. Climbing roses are a diverse group with many different heritages, which makes this a wonderfully useful collection of roses. More climbing roses should be grown as they provide wonderful color in the rose garden without taking up much ground. Large flowered climbing roses differ from Rambling roses in that they have fewer, yet larger blooms (4-6 inches in size) and are not quite as vigorous growers. These blooms larger than blooms on rose bushes of the same variety. Being so diverse, climbing roses vary in winter hardiness. Generally, the climbing rose varieties are hardy zones 5 or 6 through 10 except as noted, some with more or less hardiness as noted.

... passionate about climbing roses. When I was a child we had an amazing garden, so very loved and cared for, a magnificent old climbing rose ran all along one wall. The rose was called `Albertine` a famous old rambler , strongly scented, producing masses of double pale pink blooms. Every summertime it was an absolute picture. The old fashioned roses have such beauty, to my mind they easily outshine the modern varieties. If a rose is generally known as a climbing variety it will grow to be over 2 metres high, often hav...more

Climbing Rose: A Rose By Any Other Name (477 words)

Climbing roses tumbling over an arbour are so attractive, the standard and bush roses are lovely but for me they don't have the appeal of the climber. If you like uniformity in your garden then climbing roses just wouldn't be for you, they do run wild and have irregular but beautiful blooms that often form in clumps or bunches. Climbers will happily tackle the tallest of walls and sheds and cover them in a mass of bloom. Because of their vertical nature they are suitable for almost any garden, you can intertwine them with other climbing plants like honeysuckle or clematis, this gives texture and blend to your garden. I could tend to go off ... Read the complete review

Roses have always played an important part in British gardening but in recent years I have noticed a shift from the formal, high maintenance beds of hybrid teas to a more relaxed cottage garden style using species roses. These vigorous, easy species have graced the rose walks and arches of the major British gardens and are now finding a place in small urban gardens. Given a pergola hybrids such as Rosa ‘Seagull’ and Rosa ‘Wedding Day’ can provide a majestic, but short-lived, display. My personal favourites are Rosa brunonii, Rosa filipes ‘Kiftsgate’ and Rosa multiflora. The first two are very vigorous Himalayan ... Read the complete review
