#ProPlantTips for Care:

Grow this Rose in a full sun location to create a spectacular view with its large blooming flowers. Full sun is defined as getting 6 hours of sunlight a day. Plant in well-drained soil so the roots don't drown when watered. Water thoroughly and regularly, especially during drought periods. The root system does appreciate an insulating layer of 3-4 inches of Arborist mulch chips over the entire surface.

This hardy climber is fit for growing zones 5-9 and grows to their full potential fast. Well-known for being winter hardy, which means they tolerate cold temperatures well. This is great for those in colder climates and unpredictable weather! It's a very attractive and reliable Rose and shows good disease resistance. Provide a location with good air circulation and organically enriched well-drained soil and fertilize regularly with a good quality slow-release Rose fertilizer.

Training and Pruning Climbing Roses

Pruning should not be done during the first two years, since Climbing Roses need time to build flowering Rose canes. These structural canes will grow thicker for several years before it is time to replace them. Read all you need about pruning Roses, winterizing Roses, and un-wintering Roses in Spring in our #ProPlantTips Garden Blog!

Spring Pruning and Structural Rejuvenation

Remember that spring pruning is most limited to removing broken branches, and dead tips or correcting the structure of the Climbing Roses. If you remove long canes and side branching you will be removing the first set of June flowers.

1. Prune Roses in early spring just as you see new buds beginning to swell.
2. Remove any dead, diseased, or damaged branches.
3. Identify several new, younger, more vigorous canes to become the new structural foundation of your beautiful Climbing Rose.
4. Remove the fattest, oldest canes out at the soil level, if possible and right after the first set of flowers finishes. Those canes will be replaced with new shoots that develop from the base. As these new, rapidly produced shoots elongate, you will want to direct, train, and tie them into the place you would like them to develop.

Summer Maintenance and Pruning

Horizontal branches produce the most flowers. Prune these secondary canes after flowering, because Climbing Roses bloom on last year's canes (old wood).

1. Cut your secondary canes down to 6 - 8 inches above a bud after the first flush of flowers has finished.
2. Trim the secondary canes back at 90 to 45-degree angles.
3. Keep your structural support canes in place.

In colder regions it may be more difficult to maintain Climbing Roses, so choosing your planting site is important.

Winter protection is best for Roses grown in zones 7 and colder. Mulch is your best, more natural way to overwinter roses by mounding the dormant canes in late fall. Don't fall prune, rather instead wait until spring.
