Choosing a flower when buying
A wide variety of varieties of weaving roses can satisfy every taste.
- It is best to purchase a plant grown or grafted in a nursery. If the flower is selected according to the catalog, then you need to remember that the seller does not always inform the buyer about the possible disadvantages of the variety.
- If the rose is chosen because of an attractive flower, then you should ask the seller which group the variety belongs to. This will help you choose the right place to land on the site.
- Curly roses take root well in a new place on their own roots (without grafting). If the root system is open, you need to carefully examine the roots:
- The root must be strong and well developed.
- The presence of kidneys at rest is welcome.
- Stems should be firm, without cracks, damage and stains.
- If the flower is sold in a container, you should pay attention to the base of the trunk. It should be dense, slightly lignified.
Seedlings with a well-developed root system take root well and planted in early spring or autumn.
Growing
Before planting a climbing rose, you should determine the method of growing the flower.
Propagation and planting methods
Seeding is a time-consuming and lengthy process growing this plant, since not all varieties of roses can be propagated using seeds. Step-by-step instructions on how to propagate.
- If the seeds are collected or bought in a specialized store, they must be stratified (soak the seeds in a humid environment in the lower part of the refrigerator for 4 weeks, followed by planting in warm soil).
- After that, fill the planting material with water. Grains that float to the surface are empty and should be discarded.
- Mix the seed material with sand and sow in light soil.
- The first shoots appear 1.5-2 months after stratification.
- Sprouts are transplanted into separate pots, producing moderate watering, until the plants get stronger and are ready for planting in open ground.
This planting method is not very popular, since there is a large percentage of death of seeds and immature shoots. The best way to plant climbing roses is considered a method of breeding by cuttings or layering. In order for the rose to take root quickly, cuttings need to be cut in the spring, before flowering begins. The middle part of the cut shoot is cut into cuttings with three buds and planted in a pot of earth.
When planting cuttings, the cut under the lower kidney should be oblique (45 °), and above the upper kidney - even.There is an interesting option for rooting in potatoes. For this, the prepared stalk is stuck with the lower end into the young potatoes and, together with it, is immersed in the hole. Potato tuber will create a nutrient medium for the cuttings until the roots appear.

Rules and stages of landing
To get a healthy plant with lush flowers, you need to consider some landing rules:
- Climbing roses are often used to create hedges or decorate walls. In order to prevent root depletion and the plant blooms longer, it should be planted at a distance of at least 50 cm from walls or fences. Also, neighboring flowers and shrubs should not be located close to the rose.
- Before planting, it must be foreseen that the climbing rose needs support.
- It is better to plant a rose in the fall, so before the onset of frost the flower will have time to take root and adapt in a new place. With the onset of spring, active growth of roots and green mass will begin, and then flowering will begin.
- For the development of the seedling to be complete, you need to prune the roots and stems. Weak roots should be removed, then the remaining strong roots will develop more actively. With shoots, they also act: the weak are removed, and the strong ones are shortened by 2-3 kidneys.
When a place is selected and seedlings are prepared, you can begin preparing the pit. The ground for the rose should be loose and permeable. The top layer of soil, which was formed after digging a hole, needs to be mixed with humus, you can add a little lime and phosphate fertilizers.
The pit should be twice as large as the root lump of the plant. The roots should smoothly straighten inside the pit. The root neck needs to be deepened by 10 cm.
Care
Breeding climbing roses does not require much effort, and as a result, the territory is transformed beyond recognition.
- Weaving roses are well adapted to life in climatic conditions of medium latitude.
- One of the most important points is choosing the right place to land. It should be protected from drafts and well lit by the sun. If groundwater passes close to the surface of the site, then some slope or elevation will do.
- Most varieties of climbing roses are resistant to frost and drought.
- Watering should be moderate. Waterlogging of the place of growth of the weaving rose should not be allowed.
- Roses respond well to fertilizers. In the rainy season, the bushes can be treated outside with mullein infusion. After wintering, you can feed the plant with ammonium nitrate, and add organic fertilizers during the warm season.
To let the weaving rose bloom every year, need to trim bushes in a timely manner, removing weakened and dead shoots. Strong shoots are pruned only to give shape to the bush, and new processes are tied to a support. Transplanting an adult climbing rose will require accuracy.
- The procedure is best done in early autumn, carefully untying the shoots attached to the support. Then trim the long shoots in half.
- The hole should be dug in a circle with a diameter larger than the root lump.
- After removing the bush, you need to brush off the ground and cut off all the weak and "shaggy" roots, after which you can transplant the flower to a new place.
- Relying on frost resistance of climbing roses is not worth it, since winter temperatures are difficult to predict, and sudden jumps can lead to the death of the bush. Therefore, for reliability, it is better to cover the rose for the winter. To do this, at the end of autumn, you need to remove the lower leaves from the plant along with the petioles, remove the tied lashes from the supports and bend them closer to the ground, tying them with a plait.
- Then spud the base of the bush with dry sand and cover with roofing material. The procedure is carried out in dry weather.
