How to promote the growth of bamboo shoots in climber roses
The editor answers for the netizens about the experience of maintaining green plants on how to promote the growth of bamboo shoots in climber roses. Let's take a look together.
Regular readers of articles know that it is not recommended to buy large climber rose seedlings, as many of these large seedlings are grafted. They may look big, but they have weak bamboo shoot growth ability. After planting for a period of time, they often lack vitality and find it difficult to burst new bamboo shoots.
Even if the climber rose seedlings are cuttings, if they are super large, they may also experience growth stagnation and low plant vitality due to lack of pruning, excessive flowering consumption, or severe renewal damage. So what should we do in the face of these situations to restore the vitality of climber roses?
Methods to strengthen climber roses
For example, the climber rose in the following picture may look quite large, but it is obvious that there are almost no new branches, only a few older branches.
If we cultivate such climber roses using normal methods, the plant may remain in a state of growth stagnation for a long time. If it is infected with diseases and pests, it is often easy to develop black stems or wilt directly.
Sometimes, when buying super large climber rose seedlings, if the plant condition is good, many plant enthusiasts will tie the branches straight to make the climber roses grow taller and larger quickly, like the picture below.

However, in fact, keeping the rose branches in an upright position is not conducive to the growth of new bamboo shoots. Since plants have apical dominance, nutrients are transported to the top, so new branches also grow at the top.
And the original old branches are relatively weak. The new branches growing from these weak branches will not be strong either, which is easy to understand. For climber roses, if we want to create a flower wall or arch, we need strong long branches to achieve the shaping needs.
To promote the climber roses to grow strong new branches from the base as soon as possible, Green Plant Enthusiast Network suggests you use the layering method to strengthen them.
The method is simple. Just untie the originally straight-tied branches and let them grow naturally downwards.
If the branches are relatively short, you can use the layering method, hang heavy objects on the branches, keep the old climber rose branches horizontal, force the nutrients to flow back to the roots, and promote the germination of new buds at the base.
