How to Plant and Train a Climbing Rose

Like all Proven Winners ColorChoice roses, Rise Up roses are easy to grow. Follow these simple instructions to find success, whatever your skill or experience level. You’ll find planting instructions on the tag that comes with each plant, or you can follow these guidelines:

Light:
full sun – 6+ hours of bright sun each day

Soil:
any average, well-drained soil will do. Avoid spots that are wet or soggy, even if that only happens occasionally

Watering:
Roses have average water needs. Though they can tolerate some dry weather after they’ve been growing a few years, they will flower best, and the flowers will last the longest, with regular watering.

Fertilizing:
One application of granular (not liquid) rose fertilizer in early spring is sufficient, but if you wish, you may fertilize your Reminiscent rose monthly from early spring through late July.

Pruning:
Prune in early spring, just when the new growth starts to emerge. This makes the decision process easy, because you just make your cuts above where a large, healthy bud is emerge. Roses don’t strictly need pruning, but they have a nicer, denser habit and flower much more if they are pruned.

Training:
Climbing roses don’t actually climb, like ivy or true vines – they need your help to get growing in the direction you want. To help them, use heavy garden twine or wire to secure them to the structure you are trying to cover. Once the basic framework for covering your desired has been established, do not cut into the thick branches that comprise it. Instead, focus on shortening the branches that come off those main stems to create new growth and lush, full coverage.

Cute, Kristina 😊! Climbing rose will be beautiful! I always plant away from house, wall, deck, incase it needs painted. I'm also a Biotone 👑, putting in hole and watering, before setting any plant. It works for me! Happy Gardening 💚🌿

Where did you find the locking clip to train the shoots? Would I be able to find them at Lowes, or Home depot

Can I pull out a climbing rose plant to reposition it? It's only been there for a year.
