This month's rose can be trained as a climber or a shrub.
Today, I'll explain some small gardening knowledge about this climber/shrub rose for netizens. Please see the detailed introduction below.
Previously, I recommended a large climber rose, 'Grand Parade', which is perfect for creating a flower wall in the ground. Although many rose lovers liked it, they couldn't plant it due to limited space. Today, I'm recommending a classic Austin rose.
This rose can be grown as a climber or a shrub, suitable for ground planting in the garden or potting on the balcony. It is 'Lady Charlotte'.
Lady Charlotte, also known as Lady of Charlotte, is a classic variety of British Austin roses. It has excellent adaptability and disease resistance, blooms repeatedly in multiple seasons, and the flowers are very colorful. Moreover, the color changes as the flowers open.
When Lady Charlotte first blooms, the flowers are orange-red. As they open, the color gradually turns yellow, eventually becoming a bit pink, with the color fading. Therefore, on the same Lady Charlotte rose bush, you can see flowers of different colors, which is very beautiful.
This month's rose can be trained as a climber or a shrub.
Lady Charlotte is often grown as a climber. When grown in the ground as a climber, it grows rapidly, and the branches can reach 3 meters in length.
If grown on a balcony, it can be potted as a shrub, or trained on a small trellis to form a flower ball or a small flower wall, which is also very good.
The flowers of Lady Charlotte are relatively large, with an average diameter of 8cm, and they have a moderate fragrance, a mix of fruit and clove.
Lady Charlotte also has good disease resistance. If grown as a shrub, due to the numerous branches, some leaves at the base of the lush foliage in summer need to be removed to increase air circulation. If the leaves are too dense, they are more likely to be infected with black spot disease.
The comprehensive method of growing this climber/shrub rose that changes color, as shared above, I hope it can act as a catalyst to solve your green plant problems.
