Hardly any other type of ornamental plant is represented in as many varieties and varieties as the rose. The different types and varieties of the “Queen of Flowers” are not only differentiated according to color and flowering rhythm, but also according to their growth habit. The so-called climbing roses are ideal for greening house walls, arbors, pergolas and fences, of which there are both single-flowering and repeated-flowering varieties in numerous colors.
Which climbing rose varieties are particularly popular?
The recommended climbing roses include Bobby James and Wedding Day among the once-blooming rambler roses, Guirlande d'Amour and Compassion among the more frequently blooming varieties, and Climbing Iceberg and Naheglut among the modern climbing roses. Look out for the ADR seal for robust and he althy varieties.
Single-blooming climbing roses
These rose varieties are also known as rambler roses. They are usually significantly taller and wider than more frequently flowering varieties and therefore require significantly more space. As a rule, ramblers do not need any growth aids, as they grow up almost any climbing aid with the help of their very long, very flexible shoots. Rambler roses do not produce a second flower, but only show their flowers once per growing season - depending on the variety in spring or summer. Single-flowering varieties usually only bloom on perennial wood, which is why pruning should only be done very carefully.
The most beautiful single-flowering climbing rose varieties
| Description | Flower color | Fragrance | Leaves | Growth height | Special feature |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bobby James | white | yes | large, grey-green | up to 600 centimeters | very happy to grow |

Frequently blooming climbing roses
Climbing roses that bloom more frequently, on the other hand, show a second, slightly weaker bloom in autumn. These varieties do not grow quite as tall as the once-flowering ones, which is why they are better placed on smaller climbing aids such as pergolas, rose arches, trellises or fences. However, they are not suitable for greening house walls.
The most beautiful multi-blooming climbing rose varieties
| Description | Flower color | Fragrance | Leaves | Growth height | Special feature |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Guirlande d’Ámour | white | yes | dark green | up to 300 cm | very frost hardy |
| Compassion | apricot | yes | dark green-shiny | up to 250 cm | needs winter protection |
| Bienvenue | pink | yes | medium green | up to 250 cm | strongly double flowers |
Modern climbing rose varieties
These are primarily spontaneous mutations from so-called tea hybrids, which show enormous growth power. These rose varieties often stand out because of their particularly large flowers (which usually need to be supported so that they do not break) and are particularly robust and blooming, especially in comparison to the historical climbing roses. Modern climbing roses are suitable for greening house walls as well as for trellises, rose arches and pergolas.
