Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes
Container sizes indicate plant age and growing capacity rather than liquid volume equivalents. Our containers follow industry-standard nursery "trade gallon" specifications, which differ from standard liquid gallon measurements.

How to Prune and Train Climbing Roses
Pruning should not be done during the first 2–3 years, since Climbing Roses need time to build strong flowering canes. These canes thicken and bloom better each season before they are eventually replaced.
Spring Pruning
In early spring, remove only broken or dead branches to preserve flowering wood. Over-pruning removes your first flush of June blooms. After flowering, remove the oldest canes at the base to encourage new growth, a light form of renewal pruning.
Summer Maintenance
Climbing Roses bloom on old wood. After each flush, prune secondary canes back to 6–8 inches above a bud and maintain the main structural canes. Keep new shoots tied horizontally, as this position encourages maximum flowering.
In colder regions, provide winter protection by mounding mulch around the base in late fall, the best winter care for Roses in zones 7 and colder. Wait until spring to prune further.
