Hardly any other ornamental plant offers such a large selection of different varieties, shapes and colors as the “Queen of Flowers”, the rose. The group of climbing roses is also very varied, although these are essentially not real climbing plants. Actually, they are just shrub roses that develop particularly long shoots. Like all roses, climbing roses should be planted in autumn if possible.
When is the ideal planting time for climbing roses?
The best time to plant climbing roses is autumn, especially between October and November. Bare-rooted climbing roses should be planted on frost-free days, while rooted container roses can be planted all year round.
Autumn is the best time to plant climbing roses
When you plant your climbing roses depends primarily on whether they are bare-rooted or already rooted specimens. Bare-rooted goods are generally planted on a frost-free day between October and April, while rooted container goods can be planted all year round. This means that climbing roses with root balls can also be planted in the garden in June, although the hot and dry summer months are not ideal for such a project.
Tip
Climbing roses are often planted together with clematis, which are best planted in the ground between August and September.
