Hardly any other type of ornamental plant is as rich in varieties and varieties as the rose. The different types and varieties of the "Queen of Flowers" are not only distinguished from one another by their color and flowering rhythm, but also by their growth habit. The so-called climbing roses are ideal for greening house walls, arbors, pergolas and fences.

Once blooming climbing roses
These types of roses are also known as rambler roses. As a rule, they are significantly taller and also wider than varieties that bloom more often and therefore require much more space. As a rule, ramblers do not need growth aids, as they grow up on almost any trellis with the help of their very long, very flexible shoots. Rambler roses do not form a second flower, but show their blooms - depending on the variety in spring or summer - only once per growing season. Once-blooming varieties usually only bloom on perennial wood, which is why pruning should only be done very carefully.

Climbing roses that flower frequently
Climbing roses that bloom more often, on the other hand, show a second, slightly weaker bloom in autumn. These varieties do not grow quite as tall as the once-blooming ones, which is why they are better off on smaller climbing aids such as pergolas, rose arches, trellises or fences. However, they are not suitable for greening house walls.

Modern climbing rose varieties
These are primarily spontaneous mutations from so-called hybrid teas, which show enormous growth potential. These rose varieties often stand out due to their particularly large flowers (which usually have to be supported so that they don't snap off) and are particularly robust and floriferous, especially compared to the historical climbing roses. Modern climbing roses are suitable for greening house walls as well as for trellises, rose arches and pergolas.
