Climbing Rose

Dinaki — Mon, 25 Apr 2016 21:25:25 GMT

Hello

I have been thinking to plant on my garden a climbing rose, M46281 first time to do that and here is my question to you:

the place I want to add them to my rose collection is in the middle of my garden, what kind of a climbing “”material” do I need for them to go up?
A trellis is like 150 dollars in my area, is there a more inexpensive item you may recommend for my budget?

I thank you kindly,
Dina

The roses will get eventually 12' high so you do need an arbor to train them on. It may take 3 yrs for these roses to reach the top and over. I used to tie my roses twice a year -- spring and fall.

As they grow, they are going to get heavy. It's possible an inexpensive trellis won't support them. I'd think more in terms of a metal support of some type.

The video had a wooden arbor behind Philip & MaryBeth(?) that is what you need.

@Dinaki, Hello. I must admit that I like to add "different" types of items in my garden. We have an old wooden step ladder. Eight feet tall, I think. It's too rickety to use as a ladder, but I think something like it would be adorable in the middle of your garden in order to support a climbing rose. Just a thought. I can also envision black eyed susans meandering up the other side of the ladder. Good luck to you.

@Dinaki

The item number you gave for the roses has a video on that page, before you play it you can see a wooden arbor behind Philip and the hostess (it's not MaryBeth).

@Dinaki Keep in mind that you will have to prune the climber, to remove unwanted branches, and to lighten the weight as they can become very heavy on a trellis, which would require being on a tall ladder,and this is why I don't have mine on a trellis, I just let them become a huge bush.

We have a lovely yellow climbing rose. It is gorgeous! And huge. It grows over a very sturdy wooden archway. I wish my rose bloomed more than one time a year and that it had a fragrance. It is beautiful though!

Sounds like your yellow rose is not under the category of climber, but it's a rambler. Ramblers bloom once a year and climbers are repeat bloomers. There are exceptions but these are what they generally are.

The right support for a climbing rose depends on how tall and how wide they are. There are specific climbing roses that are narrow enough and not too tall that they can be trained onto a pillar. Some catalogues even call them "pillar roses" in the description. A rose that gets 8 feet wide and 15-20 feet tall would not be appropriate for a pillar. It would need a bigger support. I have one such rose (Ghislaine de Feligonde) on the ugly chain-link fence along the side of my house. It camouflages it at the front of the house.

It's important to get the right support for a rose right off the bat. You could probably call Cottage Farms or whatever company it is if you need info about the type of support that could handle that rose.
