Rambler roses are one of the relatively young breeds and were only bred at the beginning of the last century from a cross between Rosa multiflora and Rosa wichuraiana. These usually very fast-growing climbing roses can grow up to 10 or even 12 meters in height and usually do not even need a climbing aid. They are divided into one-flowering and multiple-flowering varieties.

Once blooming rambler roses
Once-flowering ramblers flower - as the name suggests - only once a year, with most varieties showing their flowers in early summer. The duration of flowering is also quite different. While some once-blooming rambler roses inspire with their splendor for a few weeks, with others the same is over after a short time.
