I have in my garden a very well established (probably 30 years old) climbing rose tree, which branches I need to cut radically, as they are covering the most precious sunlight I will use to have a vegetable garden. I do not have the heart to cut this rose tree; however, I want to redirect its growth. Some branches have a 1 1/2 inch section.
I have grown roses for years and the ones that climb take the most time cutting back each year.....If I were you I'd research the subject...it is complicated to answer here...if you want to save the rose as I do I'd contact a local gardening business to remove it and replant it somewhere else...b
I don't see mention of this climber on this website, but I am in love with it per the pictures I see on other websites. I read that it is not the best as far as disease resistance but the color is beautiful and the fragrance is said to be incredible and it climbs 15-20 ft. Any comments?
Here is a link to a nursery that sells top notch roses for you.
Link >> http://www.highcountryroses.com/zephirine-drouhin They will be able to give you great information on this rose. She is a beautiful rose and I know some folks in local rose societies that do grow her well. Tell the folks at High Country Roses that Stan The Rose Man sent you.
Hi! I am trying to grow roses for the first time, and bought two, bare-root, from David Austin USA. One is a Claire Austin climbing rose, and when it arrived, it was smaller than any of the pictures I have seen of climbing roses. How should I approach training it? It has some new growth: should I start tying longer pieces to the trellis, or should I let it get larger first? If so, how large? And should I eliminate the smaller of the new shoots? I've been having trouble finding information about very young roses online, and would greatly appreciate your advice. Sincerely, Lorin Kleinman
I believe in training climbing roses as soon as possible. Tie the canes off to your desired support structure early on as the canes become large enough to tie off well.

6 years ago I planted 2 yellow climbing roses about 5-6 feet apart. They did great-grew full and with large beautiful blooms. Last year one of the climbers sprouted sub-standard RED roses. The other one is still sprouting the yellow blooms. Why would the color change on the one bush?
Most rose bushes are hybrids which can have many grafts from other plants. I have roses with 4 different colors. It makes a beautiful bouquet!
s? I just replanted it in New soil, Miracle grow, the best !
Moving a rosebush while it is actively growing can kill a rosebush. It is best to wait until they go dormant and then move the bush or bushes in the early spring before it starts to leaf out. I recommend watering your rosebush with some water that has both a product called Super Thrive and a root stimulator in it. Give the rosebush this same type mix the next 5 or 6 times it needs watering. The super thrive helps the rosebush deal with transplant shock and other stresses, the root stimulator helps get the root system to growing well. The leaves turning yellow are caused by stress shock and the fact that the root system is now not established enough to support all the growth. Thus the bush sheds leaves. Once the rosebush has recovered using the water mix mentioned above, sprinkle 1/2 cup of Epsom Salts around the rosebush, work in lightly and water in well.
A neighbor gave me a beautiful bright orange climbing rose. When it begins to bloom in Spring, it is covered with blooms. After that initial time, there are only a very few blooms at a time. What am I doing wrong? I live in Maryland (zone 7) and we have extremely humid summers. Is there a special plant food I should be using and how often? Thank you for any assistance you can lend.
Do you know the name of the rose? If yes, then search for that specific rose's care. Breeding for repeat blooming roses has had varying degrees of success. Regardless, repeat blooms will not match the flush of spring blooms. There are aspects of care that do make a difference in repeat bloomers. The plant needs full sun, at least 6 hours of direct sun daily; it should be fertilized several times during the growing season - the timing will depend on which fertilizer you use; and annual pruning stimulates more productive, younger canes. Check the website of the American Rose Society for detailed information.
1st year planting hybrid tea rose. (1st attempt at roses) zone 5/6 very dry,hot and humid year. Plants have been watered every other day,fertilized twice a month via miriclegro rose formula. Outstanding foliage growth but not many buds nor blooms. What went wrong?
If the rose was planted this year, it may simply be focused on root growth at the expense of blooms. Feeding twice monthly seems excessive; too much nitrogen favors leaf growth over blooms. I'm not familiar with the product you mentioned but let's assume you followed the application instructions exactly. Does the plant get at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily? Did you research your variety at sites like American Rose society and know that it is a re-blooming variety? The site will also help you learn how to prune this rose. Plant tags are too often not accurate or not what the average gardener will experience. With cooler weather, you may see bloom activity. A heat stressed plant may bloom less to conserve energy.
