Rambler roses are climbing roses and are characterized by particularly strong growth and meter-long, soft and flexible shoots. The very floriferous plants are ideal for planting on old trees, but also on rose arches and pergolas.

Rambler roses like bright locations

Which location do rambler roses prefer?

Most ramblers prefer a light but semi-shady location - full sun is usually not well tolerated due to the associated heat and drought. Some strains even thrive on north faces, although this is of course not the norm.

In which substrate should you plant rambler roses?

Like all roses, the ramblers also prefer a humus-rich, nutrient-rich, loose and well-drained garden soil. This should be fresh to slightly damp. Waterlogging, on the other hand, is not tolerated.

Are rambler roses also suitable for pot culture?

In contrast to the climbers, which remain significantly smaller, the ramblers, which can grow up to twelve meters high - depending on the variety and growth conditions - are not really suitable for pot culture. If they are still to be kept in the pot, regular strong 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 the deepest possible planting hole with sufficient distance to other plants so that there is no competition for light and nutrients. If the plant is to climb a tree, do not place it directly in front of its trunk. On the other hand, keep a little distance and guide the shoots into the tree with the help of ropes. Furthermore, ramblers should not be planted directly in front of other climbing aids (e.g. pergolas), but slightly offset. This gives the plant more space to grow.

What planting distance should be observed for rambler roses?

A planting distance of at least 80 centimeters is ideal.

When do rambler roses bloom?

Most rambler roses bloom only once a year, usually in early summer - but very profusely and for several weeks.

How to propagate rambler roses?

Ramblers can usually be propagated very well by sticks or cuttings. Colleague-forming varieties can also be propagated by root stolons.

tips

When planting, make sure that rambler roses do not tolerate any competitors for light and food in their immediate vicinity.
