A variety of climbing roses are available on the market. We present the most beautiful climbing rose varieties such as Jasmina, Santana and New Dawn.

Climbing roses decorate house and garden

Roses (Rosa) have been cultivated for over 200 years. Countless cultivars were created by crossing or selecting particularly pretty mutants. The climbing roses form their own group, which are characterized by their long shoots. Otherwise, the varieties within the group are as diverse as we are used to from roses. Whether single or double flowers, whether soft pink, strong red or bright yellow, there is something for every taste.

Climbing roses: These types of roses are suitable

In the case of climbing roses, one speaks either of the actual climbing roses or of rambler roses. Both types can develop meter-long shoots studded with colorful flowers, which transform your garden into a fragrant natural experience along fences or rose arches. But while both share a love of growing tall, there are a number of differences between the species that need to be considered before purchasing a climbing rose. If you want your garden to bloom several times a year, use real climbing roses. Rambler roses are ideal for high house facades or large rose arches, because their particularly elastic shoots like to be between 6 and 10 meters long. The actual climbing roses only manage 3 meters with a lot of effort. The growth here is more compact and the flowers are larger. But the choice of your climbing rose not only has a considerable influence on later growth and flowering time, but also on how the plants have to be cared for afterwards.

You can find everything you need to know about caring for climbing roses - both single and multi-flowering - here.
