Most roses bloom in the summer months, with some varieties only showing their blooms for a few weeks, others until the first frost.
The flowering time of roses varies from variety to variety
Differentiation between once-blooming and repeat-blooming roses
Above all, various bed and small shrub roses inspire with an extremely long flowering period and tirelessly produce new flowers. They belong to the so-called repeat-blooming rose varieties, which - in contrast to the once-blooming and wild roses - start the flowering season quite late. However, not all roses that bloom more often are so tireless, some also bloom much shorter or only remount, i. H. they form a secondary bloom after the main bloom.
One-time blooming roses
Once-blooming roses often begin flowering between late May and mid-June, with blooms lasting about five to six weeks. Many of the historical roses or the so-called park roses belong to this group, because modern breeds are usually trained to flower for a longer period of time. Nevertheless, roses that bloom once have a great advantage, because they are much more winter hardy than many roses that bloom more often.
Frequently blooming roses
Many roses that bloom more often have their main bloom in June and develop a second, albeit often weaker, secondary bloom in August. Varieties with a long flowering period should be pruned regularly, because removing faded heads ensures that new flowers are constantly formed. This measure also keeps roses healthy, because faded flowers are often a gateway for fungi and other pathogens.
tips
The various wild roses bloom particularly early, often showing their blossoms as early as the beginning of May. Although these do not remount in summer, they adorn themselves with magnificent red rose hips from late summer.
