Rambler roses are climbing roses and are characterized by particularly strong growth and meter-long, soft and flexible shoots. The very flowering plants are wonderful for planting old trees, but also rose arches and pergolas.
How do you plant rambler roses correctly?
To plant rambler roses, choose a partially shaded location, prepare humus-rich, nutrient-rich and well-drained soil, and ensure sufficient planting distance (at least 80 cm). Plant in October or on frost-free days between October and April.
Which location do rambler roses prefer?
Most ramblers prefer a light but partially shaded location - full sun is usually not tolerated well due to the heat and dryness that comes with it. Some varieties even thrive on north sides, although this is of course not the rule.
In which substrate should you plant rambler roses?
Like all roses, ramblers prefer humus-rich, nutrient-rich, loose and well-drained garden soil. This can be fresh to slightly moist. However, waterlogging is not tolerated.
Are rambler roses also suitable for growing in pots?
In contrast to the climbers, which remain significantly smaller, the ramblers - which grow up to twelve meters high - depending on the variety and growing conditions - are rather not suitable for pot culture. If they are still to be kept in pots, regular, heavy pruning is essential.
When is the best time to plant rambler roses?
Rambler roses are also ideally planted in October or on a frost-free, mild day between October and April. Well-rooted container goods can be planted all year round - provided it is frost-free and the ground is not frozen - but the hot and dry summer months are less suitable.
What is the best way to plant rambler roses?
Rambler roses need a planting hole that is as deep as possible and with enough distance from other plants so that there is no competition for light and nutrients. If the plant is to grow on a tree, do not plant it directly in front of its trunk. However, keep a little distance and guide the shoots into the tree using ropes. Ramblers should also use other climbing aids (e.g. B. Pergolas) are not planted directly in the middle in front of them, but rather slightly offset. This gives the plant more space to grow.
What planting distance should be maintained for rambler roses?
A planting distance of at least 80 centimeters is ideal.
When do rambler roses bloom?
Most rambler roses only bloom once a year, usually in early summer - but very prolifically and for several weeks.
How can rambler roses be propagated?
Ramblers can usually be propagated very well using cuttings or cuttings. Runner-forming varieties can also be propagated by root runners.
Tip
When planting, make sure that rambler roses cannot tolerate any competitors for light and food in their immediate vicinity.
