Climbing Rose Maintenance and Management
Today's focus is on sharing some knowledge about rose bushes, specifically climbing roses. The maintenance and management of climbing roses is a great tip worth collecting!
Climbing roses bloom continuously from spring to summer, adding great beauty and playing an important role in vertical greening. They are excellent materials for pergolas, trellises, fences, hedges, and arches.
Climbing roses mainly rely on hooks and other organs to climb upwards. A climbing frame or guiding frame needs to be set up, and in the first one or two years after planting, it is necessary to frequently tie the new vines manually to help them grow along the guiding frame.
Proper pruning is quite important for the growth and flowering of climbing roses, and pruning should be done every year. The pruning method involves first cutting off the dense vines from the base, retaining the strong branches, and then manually tying them in a certain pattern on the frame. If the vines have covered the entire trellis, some branches can be thinned out to prevent overlapping growth, which is beneficial for flowering.
After the flowers of climbing roses have withered and before the bud differentiation, diseased, entangled, overlapping, and aging branches should be cut off from the base to prevent the dense growth of the vines, ensuring that the vines are evenly distributed, with sunlight penetration, which is conducive to the growth of new branches. Climbing roses are fertilizer-loving plants, and to make the flowers large and vibrant, frequent fertilization is needed.
Fertilization should focus on organic fertilizers with chemical fertilizers as a supplement. Chemical fertilizers should mainly be compound fertilizers. Generally, fertilization should be done once or twice a month, except in severe cold or heat. During the winter dormant period, a batch of compost can be applied as a base fertilizer, which is beneficial for the growth of new branches the following year.
The above content shares the full details of climbing rose maintenance and management. I hope it can help you, and I also hope everyone will come to see more green plant and flower experience and knowledge!
