The second type blooms only once in spring, with representative varieties such as Alchemist, Florence, and Pink Dragon. The third type is between the single-season and all-season varieties, with a large number of flowers in spring, a few in autumn, and no flowers in summer.

Characteristics of climbing rose blooming
How to make roses bloom more
Everyone knows that roses bloom on new branches, but for climbing roses, in addition to blooming on new branches, there is another significant feature: blooming on weak branches.
In spring, the number of flowers is very large. You will find that the new branches are not very strong. There are no branches that suddenly grow one or two meters high. Most of them show flower buds after growing for about twenty to thirty centimeters. One of the reasons why spring branches don't grow long is that after the winter dormancy, a large number of new buds grow together, and the nutrients are too scattered, so the branches grow relatively weak and produce flower buds to bloom.
In autumn, it is difficult for us to make climbing roses germinate so uniformly. Even if we牵引 them, you will find that the new buds after the new shoots are not many, which has a lot to do with the climate.
If you want climbing roses to bloom more in autumn, the best way is to make the roses weak, preferably stopping growth in summer and staying in a dormant state. Then, when the weather cools down in autumn, the climbing roses will wake up and produce a large number of new branches. This process of dormancy is somewhat similar to the process of winter dormancy.
This method can make climbing roses bloom a large number of flowers in autumn, although the number of flowers is still not as many as in spring, but it will be more than normal maintenance. The Golden Celebration at the Green Plant Enthusiast website, because it bloomed too much in spring, the plant weakened after flowering, and was plagued by black spot disease all summer, but as soon as the weather got a little cooler, it immediately bloomed a large number of flowers, and the flowers were very uniform. Now it is continuing to grow after flowering.
