Climbers
& Ramblers
One of the most
spectacular sights in the garden in spring is a structure smothered
in blooms from a rambler or climbing rose. The key is researching
and choosing wisely when it comes to selecting a rose of this caliber.
I have a hard time resisting these roses and I must confess that there
has been more than one occasion when I have attempted to grow a massive
rose on an inappropriate structure. Ramblers tend to be very vigorous
and some can easily consume a small building if left unchecked. Some
climbers are more vigorous than others. So if you need a rose for
a pillar or a small arch, you don't want something like Rambling
Rector unless you want to spend quite a bit of your time with
the pruning shears. Most of these roses only bloom once in the spring
but you can be assured that they will be the focal point in your garden
when in bloom.
