Excerpt from the "Three-Step Method for Growing Climbing Roses" series.
Yesterday, the correct牵引 method for rose arches was introduced, which is more suitable for courtyard and terrace gardeners, while it's more difficult for balcony dwellers to achieve.
If you are a balcony enthusiast and love the blooming effect of climbing roses, you might as well try rose pillars and trellises.
Due to the limited space on the balcony, it's not possible to plant a large area of climbing roses. However, it is still possible to create rose pillars and trellises with potted plants. Let's talk about how to grow climbing roses on a balcony.
How to grow good climbing roses on a balcony?
When growing climbing roses on a balcony, we first need to consider two issues:
1. The available space for growth
2. Selection of varieties
How much space is available for growth?
How much space is available on the balcony for climbing roses to grow, whether to create a trellis effect or a pillar effect, these are all issues we need to consider.
If the space is larger, a fan-shaped trellis effect can be created, and if the space is smaller, a pillar can be made. Of course, if you have a large villa balcony, a rose arch can also be attempted.
Selection of varieties:
Due to limited space, it is recommended to choose small climbing varieties. Large climbing varieties grow too fast and may exceed our expectations.
Smaller climbing and vigorous shrub rose varieties, such as Climbing Rose 'Wickwar', 'Margaret王妃', 'Queen of Sweden', 'Jensen', 'Beautiful Kiss' are more suitable for growing on balconies and creating trellis effects.
Smaller climbing rose varieties with thin and soft branches are more suitable for pillars. For example, 'Song of the Vineyard', 'Sweet马车', 'Teng Baby', etc.
How to care for them?
Many people don't know how to care for climbing roses. The main difference between climbing roses and shrub roses is in the treatment of suckers.
After selecting the variety, a support should be set up when potting, but this doesn't mean that all the branches of the young plants should be tied up.
Newly planted seedlings often do not have strong suckers, so we only need to remove the flower buds, let the branches hang naturally, or guide them horizontally, and strengthen fertilization and watering management.
After the suckers grow, they should be straightened and fixed to protect their growth, and then guided in winter.
If it's a large-flowered variety with thick and hard branches, moderate oblique guidance can be done during the growing period to adjust the angle of the branches, facilitating winter guidance and shaping.
In fact, climbing roses are very easy to care for, with strong resistance and vigorous growth. As long as fertilization and watering management and guidance work are done well, they will bloom easily.
Now many climbing roses are approaching the end of their first bloom and it's time for pruning. Tomorrow, I will continue to share the post-bloom pruning method for rose walls.
