Climbing Roses

Climbing Roses - There is no investment, for less money, which will so dramatically change the appearance of a garden or landscape than a properly placed climbing rose.  Our modern Low Maintenance, Climbing Roses bloom on first year growth and offer prolific rebloom throughout the season. 

Climbing roses have a place in any garden. You can probably recall any number of beautiful magazine images of sunny, rose covered arbors or a rose-covered lattice framing at a home’s front door. Climbing Roses are extremely versatile garden performers. You can choose to let them artfully climb vertical structures, leisurely tumble over a picket fence or carefully train them on horizontal fence rails to create a narrow hedge.

Carefully choosing the right variety of climbing rose for a particular location is important.  Below we’ve grouped Alan’s Picks of four outstanding climbing roses.  These varieties have been proven in thousands of gardens over many seasons for their colorful reblooming, low maintenance requirements, excellent disease resistance and cold hardiness.  The restrained growers are best used for a confined area such as a trellis or horizontally on an arbor.  Expect at least 5 ft. of growth each of the first few years.  The unrestrained grower, New Dawn, is bested used for larger, unconfined areas where it can take over.  Expect 10-15 ft. growth in early years.  All of these climbing roses mature quickly in just 2-3 years.
