Description of groups of climbing roses, ramblers and climbers
When choosing plants that will decorate arches or gazebos, you should pay attention to the classification of flowers. There are two groups of climbing roses. The first group includes small-flowered ramblers, and the other includes large-flowered climbers.
Rambler has thin creeping or drooping stems that reach a length of up to 4 meters. The inflorescences are double or simple; they are impressive not so much in their shape as in their quantity. The branches are pliable and flexible, so they need support. They are remarkable because they can bloom on shoots from previous years..
Climber is a long-flowering plant. They are decorated with large individual flowers or inflorescences (up to 5 buds) and rigid branches up to three meters long. They grow more slowly, but flowers are present on all branches: last year’s and young ones. The plant increases its volume in width, and the branches are difficult to tie up, so rose growers often grow it without supports on erect stems.
Varieties of the Klaiber group
The Climber group was obtained as a result of mutations of the buds of hybrid tea species and Floribunda. This group includes many climbing roses of different varieties. All are united by a pleasant smell and beautiful flowering that lasts throughout the warm season.
Ducat

The representative of bright red flowers has large buds - up to 18 centimeters in diameter. The variety is distinguished by a spreading tall bush, about 2 meters wide and up to 3 meters long.
This amazingly beautiful plant has ruby, almost brown buds on last year's shoots. And the new branches are decorated with purple roses. The variety blooms continuously and abundantly. Dark leathery leaves highlight the beauty of the buds.
This variety has gained popularity because the plant has good immunity to diseases and resistance to changes in weather conditions.
Alibaba
A plant with a fabulous name has double inflorescences of an unusual coral or apricot color. The edges of the buds are wavy and bloom simultaneously; on one peduncle - up to five pieces. The exotic aroma is reminiscent of apricot and passion fruit.
Alibaba grows up to two meters high and does not need heavy pruning. In addition, the plant easily adapts to weather conditions. And for resistance to various diseases it has been repeatedly awarded at competitions.
Varieties of the Rambler group
Climbing bushes are distinguished by soft, creeping branches and intensive growth. Shoots can reach 10 meters in length. At the same time, plants delight with a rich selection of various varieties, which are particularly resistant to various diseases.
Rosa Red Rambler
This park plant is intended to decorate the most prominent places. Fiery buds framed by green foliage provide joy all season long. Each re-blooming of buds is more abundant than the previous one.

Varieties of climbers and ramblers suitable for different regions of Russia
The choice of weaving beauties varies, depending on the climatic conditions of a particular region.

- Flamentanza with bright scarlet buds;

- dense yellow rose Baroque;
- Blue Moon with deep blue inflorescences;
Among Rambler, the optimal varieties are considered:
- large variety Camelot;

- large-flowered Rosarium Uetersen with pink flowers.
The emergence of new varieties of climbing roses has made it possible to grow them in the Siberian region. These varieties are quite resistant to frost and wind, but require shelter for the winter:
- Chippendale;
- Queen Elizabeth;
- Golden Celebration;
- William Shakespeare 2000;
- Westerland.
The northwestern territory is dominated by a temperate continental climate. It is recommended to grow the following varieties here:
- the densely leafy, spreading New Down rose;
- cream Ilse Krohn Superior;
- Super Excelsa, with bright raspberry buds;
- densely double variety Santana.
In the southern regions of Russia you can grow Climing roses.They have poor frost tolerance and shade tolerance. But in warm places the flowers delight with large and bright buds.
Important: in order for roses to gain weight and meet the stated characteristics, attention is paid to the climate of the region, the composition of the soil, and plant care.
Landing
Seedlings of weaving roses can be rooted or grafted, as well as with an open and closed root system. Plants with open rhizomes are planted in the autumn - from October to November, and grafted ones - in the spring. Roses in containers can be planted in open ground at any time.
For planting, a hole half a meter deep is dug. At the same time, a place is allocated for laying the shoots under cover for the winter. In the hole, the soil is mixed with organic matter, and then the plant is watered abundantly. When planting in spring, the branches are shortened to 7 buds, and the root is trimmed by 20 centimeters. After this, it is recommended to treat the sections with ash or garden pitch.
Watering
The bushes feel normal with moderate watering. It is enough to carry out the procedure once a week. Overwatering can cause disease, and drought will prevent roses from blooming to their full potential. A lot of moisture is only needed when planting the plant until it takes root. To do this, it is recommended to make a small earthen ditch around the place where the rose is planted to retain moisture.
Fertilizer
For roses, the best fertilizer is manure or any organic fertilizer. During the period of intensive growth, you can add mineral fertilizer. Fertilizing is carried out before the appearance of buds. Once the plant has bloomed, no fertilizer should be added to the bush.
Trimming
The procedure is performed along the entire height of the bush to form a crown. Pruning improves decorative qualities.
It is recommended to trim shoots in spring and summer.In spring, dead and frostbitten stems are removed. The strongest and longest vines are left on the bush. While the plant is young, rose hips are systematically removed. After 2 years, only rose shoots appear.
In summer, faded branches are removed. This will help the bush rejuvenate and provoke the formation of replacement shoots.
Important: it is not recommended to remove shoots in the fall, as new shoots will grow that will not have time to ripen by winter and will therefore die.
Differences from other roses
Climbing roses of the Climber and Rambler groups are popular with rose growers. This is explained by their advantages:
- unpretentious;
- decoratively beautiful;
- continuous or repeated blooming of buds along the entire length of the shoots;
- winter-hardy;
- buds are single or collected in inflorescences.
Breeders continue to actively work on new varieties, so the distinctive characteristics are mixed.
Application in landscape design
The rich variety of colors and pleasant aroma of the royal plant transform any garden plot.
Rose hedges are popular in dacha landscapes. They are installed along the site, allowing you to isolate yourself from the road or neighbors. Climber roses are most suitable for these purposes. They will ensure planting density to create a dense wall.
Park Ramblers look amazingly beautiful against the backdrop of evergreens. Roses are planted in the foreground, and deciduous, coniferous trees or tall bushes in the background.
Roses look beautiful in vertical gardening. For this purpose, special high supports and trellises are installed along which heavy branches of roses, abundantly strewn with buds, are woven.
The rose looks wonderful in a solitaire. A single plant will be an accent in the design composition.
Bushes look great in a mixborder. In this case, different plants can coexist:
- bulbous;
- flyers;
- perennial flowers;
- cereals;
- bushes.
First, a rose is planted, and then neighbors are selected based on color scheme, shape of inflorescences, and contrast.
