But if you choose the right variety that will suit the climatic conditions, growing a rose bush is no more difficult than any other flower. This queen of flowers will decorate any landscape with her presence and will be the best gift for amateur gardeners.
Classification of winter-hardy roses
In addition to the division into varieties and varieties, the division is also carried out into groups. The systematization is as follows:
- First group. True roses have elastic shoots in the shape of an arc. Grows up to 5 meters. The spines are beautiful and thin. The flowering is rich and lasts about a month in the first part of summer. The foliage is small. Representatives are winter-hardy.
- Second group. Created by mixing remontant, tea and hybrid tea roses. The plants are interesting with strong growth up to four meters. They turned out with voluminous flowers and are distinguished by their second flowering. Resistance to cold, partial resistance to disease.
- Third group. Created by changing bush roses with voluminous flowering. They develop rapidly and bear fruit a little later. Bright colors.
Luck of Cordes
Roses of these varieties are sometimes called cordesias, but the correct name of the class comes from the name of Wilhelm Cordes II from the dynasty of German gardeners and breeders who managed to obtain plants that formed the varietal group. Most roses in this group are winter-hardy; they are used to breed new frost-resistant varieties.
Quite voluminous bushes - they can reach 2 m in width and height - are excellent for creating a hedge. The flowers are pink, semi-double (up to 7 cm in diameter), collected in brushes of 10-25 pieces, the leaves are dark green. This variety is known for its excellent frost resistance and disease resistance.
Among frost-resistant varieties, roses of this variety are considered one of the most profusely blooming. The flowers are deep pink (up to 8 cm in diameter) with wavy double petals and form thick clusters. The bush grows up to 150 cm in height and 120 cm in width.
This climbing rose, bred in 1955, was considered by its originator Wilhelm Cordes to be his best creation. And quite rightly so. Winter-hardy and hardy, immune to
, capable of delighting with its lush flowering for more than a month. It blooms profusely with bright red flowers with a scarlet sheen, collected in bouquets of inflorescences of 5–7 pieces.
In the garden classification of roses, it occupies a special place that belongs only to it. It belongs to the once-blooming variety, but cannot be considered a classic rambler. There is no need to remove faded shoots, as they will bloom again next year. It fits quite easily under cover and confidently withstands even the most severe frosts. It has been noticed that it lives longer as its own root, so it is better to propagate it by cuttings.
An amazing scrub from 1969, a uniquely beautiful rose with bright semi-double cupped flowers. The complex color as it blooms changes from fiery orange to salmon pink. The golden yellow center of the flower glows from within. The edges of the petals are wavy, which gives the rose grace and unique charm.

Climbing rose: care, pruning work in spring
- With the onset of warm days (early-mid March), cover the exposed surface of the winter frame shelter from the frame and the rose bush itself with snow. This will help protect flowers from spring temperature changes during the day and night.
- After 2 weeks, remove the remaining snow, draw a groove to remove melted water
- Perform daily 20-30 minute ventilation, opening the shelter on both sides
- When it becomes much warmer and there is almost no snow left, begin preparing for the full opening of the plant. To do this, open one or two sides of the shelter for ventilation. Next, throw on the covering material, leaving a small opening so that the flowers can breathe.
- After a week, free the roses from the protective material from the east or north, at your discretion.
- After a couple of days, you can completely open the bushes and remove the leaves from the soil.
- Now we do cosmetic pruning, removing broken, dried out or damaged by cold branches to the whole part
- Next, we irrigate against infections with copper oxychloride or copper sulfate.
- Hill up and cover with spruce or thin agrofibre, lutrasil or fabric
- With the onset of stable above-zero temperatures, and in the absence of the risk of night frosts, we do the main pruning, giving the desired shape to the bush and removing weak shoots
- We immediately treat diseases and pests with the same copper sulfate
- We make fertilizing from a warm infusion of mullein 1:10, calculating 10-15 liters per bush
Expert opinion on growing climbing roses
“Gardeners often share the opinion that roses purchased for growing on supports do not behave like climbing roses: they do not gain mass well, and even for several years they do not achieve the growth stated in the characteristics. How can this be explained?
First of all, of course, the climate of the region where the rose is grown, the composition of the soil, care
In addition, attention should be paid to the following things:
- You can provoke high growth of the bush by correct placement on the support. Here you can use the method of horizontal arrangement of the main lashes, then the shoots of the second order will grow with greater force and tend upward. A spiral garter is also suitable; the second-order shoots that appear will also continue to wrap around the column higher and higher. The support must be at least 1.8 m. Bases in the form of huts, pyramids and similar shapes are not suitable for roses.
- As a rule, after flowering it is recommended to trim the brushes into rings. Therefore, in pursuit of active growth of the bush, it is necessary to artificially curtail the process of bud formation. This will allow you not to trim the lashes, maintaining the length they have reached for the next season, and will also give more strength for growth itself.
- Well, and mandatory regular watering and fertilizing, depending on the weight of the bush.” (Andrey Vladimirovich Tkachenko, expert).
What roses bloom all summer: photo, description
Continuously blooming roses begin their active growth in late May - early June. This process lasts throughout the summer and continues into the fall. This feature is an undeniable advantage over varieties that bloom only once. Despite this, people plant other types of this beautiful, beloved flower.
Roses that bloom constantly (all summer and autumn) most often belong to the following groups:
It should be noted that practically all varieties from the polyantha group have a high degree of resistance to various vagaries of weather, diseases and pests. They are also distinguished by abundant, continuous flowering. Also, polyanthus roses are unpretentious and can grow in any region, regardless of soil and climatic conditions.
What roses bloom all summer? Photos and descriptions are presented below:
- Arctic Fire (Arctic Fire). A very fragrant ground cover plant with incredibly beautiful snow-white flowers. The low bush (about half a meter) blooms profusely in early June and this process continues until the end of September. The petals are terry and delicate. They love warmth, so it is recommended to plant them in sunny areas without shading from any buildings or plants.
- Avila Palace (Avila Palace). These are very beautiful roses that bloom all summer (see photo). The rich light red hue of the buds fits very harmoniously into the landscape design of the country courtyard. The plant belongs to the floribunda group. In order for roses to bloom all summer, it is important to choose a sunny place in the garden, since they are very demanding of constant consumption of sunlight. The bush is relatively low (up to 1 m in height). This variety also requires constant care; fertilizers should be applied on time and the necessary pruning should be carried out.
- Bonica 82 (Bonica 82) . Another representative of polyanthus roses. The main feature is abundant and long flowering, right up to the first frost. These are unpretentious roses that bloom all summer. They do not need special care, and they are not particularly picky about the planting site and the soil in general. The only element of care is the obligatory pruning of the bush for the winter. Today, Bonica 82 is one of the most sought after continuously flowering rose varieties in the country.
- Aquarell (Watercolor). They belong to the hybrid tea varieties of roses that bloom all summer. You can buy this beautiful plant at any flower shop; it is quite popular. During the blooming process, the flower changes many shades (from light red to cream), especially during budding. Their centers are almost always deep yellow. The flowers themselves are very large (up to 13 cm in diameter), the petals have a complex structure. The bush is relatively low, just over 70 cm on average. It is practically not affected by black spot, late blight and powdery mildew. Florists often use similar varieties of roses, which bloom all summer, to create bouquets and various compositions, as well as in landscape design.
- Iceberg (Iceberg). What varieties of roses bloom all summer? This question is often asked by amateur gardeners. Experienced florists offer Iceberg. What does the name say?

This is the most popular climbing rose, blooming all summer.
Plants with long stems and small flowers
If we consider this group of roses, then the positive qualities include the rather spreading growth of the stems, which are ideal for decorating a personal plot and fences. Although they cannot please you with large buds, the maximum size of which does not exceed 5 cm, they conquer them with a large number.
Super Excelsa is an unpretentious and very hardy variety, which is most often planted along paths and near fences, since the stems cover an area of no more than 4 square meters. These roses prefer shade; in the sun they quickly lose their bright fuchsia shade.
The Snow Goose variety is ideal for decorating vertical surfaces or creating a beautiful flower carpet on a designated area of land. The plant's brushes are composed of white lush buds, the number of which can reach more than 20 pieces. The flowering of this variety can be observed all year round without interruption, and the plant does not require special care.
Super Dorothy is a hardy perennial plant that blooms in late spring and can bloom until the first frost. Super Dorothy with crimson flowers is most often found, but there are other shades of buds.
If you need to plant roses that bloom all summer, and at the same time withstand winter well without special shelters, then you should choose Rambling Rector. In addition to its high tolerance to cold and heat, this variety is distinguished by its unusual buds: immediately after the rose blooms, it has an ivory color, but literally after a few days the color changes to dazzling snow-white. The racemes can contain up to 50 flowers at a time, and the stems reach 5 meters in length.

Shrub roses
An area with bush roses always looks unusual, cute and cozy. After all, there are not many ornamental plants that are distinguished by the variety of their colors, the shape of their inflorescences, long-term flowering and excellent aroma. Therefore, this variety of roses is ideal for gardening and landscape design. By growing species with different flowering periods and different colors, you can form original compositions from shrub roses. In addition, single spreading bushes planted in the center of the nursery also look great.
Specimens of this category are branched shrubs, reaching two or more meters in height and having semi-double or double flowers. Such varieties are similar to cultivated rose hips, but with regard to the color palette, size and degree of doubleness of the inflorescences, in this they are significantly superior to it. The same can be said about the duration of flowering. Some varieties of these roses bloom once during the season, others delight with their appearing flowers repeatedly during the summer period.
Shrub roses are distinguished by dense and, one might say, continuous flowering until frost, resistance to fungal diseases, high humidity and low temperatures. They grow too quickly and have strength and endurance, and they are also almost picky. Therefore, they are planted for their winter hardiness in gardens located in regions with harsh climatic conditions.
Rose varieties for different regions
It is impossible to give an example of rose varieties that are most suitable for a particular region within one article. Therefore, below we will describe the most common ones, due to their aesthetic qualities, as well as their high level of viability.
Large-flowered roses
An erect bush with large bright red flowers covering it from the base to the top. It is grown both on a support and in the form of a scrub. Flowers last a long time and are not afraid of strong winds or rain. The variety is characterized by high resistance to diseases, as well as frost resistance. And, although the rose is recommended for cultivation in zone 5, it also shows its qualities well in regions above this zone. For example, it feels great in garden plots in the Moscow region and Leningrad region.
The rose is the brainchild of the Krodes nursery, and has all the stability criteria typical for varieties of this company: frost resistance, strong immunity, immunity to rain and winds. At the same time, it is distinguished by its decorative nature, having adopted the beauty and elegance of the flower from hybrid tea roses. The color is classic red. The bush is tall, branched with bright green foliage with a glossy surface.
Both varieties are repeat bloomers and have a weak aroma.
This variety, according to reviews of many gardeners, occupies one of the leading positions in resistance to adverse conditions.
Another representative of the Kordes nursery. The bush is distinguished by positive growth energy and endurance. It blooms once with ruby-colored inflorescences on last year's canes. This variety is widespread in the Northern regions due to its unpretentiousness and winter hardiness. Tolerates climates with short summer periods. It grows well even in partial shade. It is recommended to grow with a support, or behaves like a ground cover rose. It has good immunity, but in some cases after flowering it is affected by black spot.
It is considered the most sought after rose, as it shows a high degree of endurance both to the cold season and to diseases. It can be grown as a cascading bush, but with sufficient support it performs well as a climbing rose; the length of the vine can reach 5 m. The flowers are soft pink, in hot weather they become almost white, with the smell of exotic fruits. From the moment of dissolution, the inflorescence does not last long, but this is not noticeable against the background of the abundance of flowers. Refers to re-blooming.
Small-flowered roses
This variety belongs to the group of ramblers that can bloom more than once per season. The vines are pliable, form well along the support, but under the weight of the flowers they bend down, creating a “weeping” effect. Each brush consists of 20-40 buds, which bloom gradually. Therefore, although the flowering begins later than other roses, it pleases without interruption until frost. The flowers are pale pink. Resistant to diseases, rain, frost.
The popularity of this rose around the world is gaining momentum every year. Thanks to its endurance and unpretentiousness, it deserves a place among
This rose blooms later than others, but the flowers bloom until the frost.
a list of varieties that are worth planting, even for beginners in this matter. Pearlescent pink inflorescences, with a simple but elegant flower shape, leave no one indifferent. Tolerant of both heat and rain. It tolerates the winter period well, but, for example, in the Moscow region and higher regions it will need shelter. If you refer to reference books, this rose is not a climbing rose. But, according to the experience of gardeners, under favorable conditions it grows well and can reach 2-2.5 m.
Application options for climbing roses
In home gardens, climbing roses are used for various purposes. Plants are suitable as unusual garlands and pyramids, for creating an arch of climbing roses or for decorating a gazebo. It will also look great when landscaping an arbor, fence or column and many other buildings. Roses will help create a gorgeous look.
There are also other, original options for using these plants. If you plant climbing roses near trees or strong bushes, then in the near future they will begin to use them as a support. In such situations, careful care and pruning are required. In addition, the tree can easily overcome such a neighborhood, and the bushes may die. Before using a plant as a support, you should make a thoughtful decision.
Types of climbing roses
For landscaping arches, pergolas, gazebos, and forming living walls, rose varieties that need support are used. This may include:
- ramblers;
- climbers.
This is where the initial choice needs to be made. Because these two groups differ in some of their properties.
Ramblers are truly climbing roses with fairly flexible shoots that are easy to guide along a support. They bloom once. In addition, they are easy to lay on the ground under cover in the fall. They require minimal pruning, or rather, only sanitary pruning, since they bloom mainly on shoots from previous seasons. But this is precisely why they need protection for the winter, even despite the high ratings of the winter hardiness of the variety. It is important to preserve young canes for flowering in the next season. It will be enough to make a light air-dry shelter. If they are left to overwinter, relying only on their own strength, then the shoots that have frozen over the winter will have to be removed and in this case the flowering will be scanty, only on the surviving branches. Today, there are young varieties related to ramblers that bloom repeatedly.
Winter-hardy varieties of other classes
Of course, the longest-blooming roses are not necessarily representatives of the well-known groups of varieties that we described above. Here are a few more interesting varieties for your attention, which can also surprise you with the duration and beauty of flowering.

Ramblers (small-flowered roses)
Plants of this group form long, thin, arch-like shoots, ranging from 3 to 15 meters in length. The formation of flowers occurs on the shoots of the previous year, so it is necessary to cover roses especially carefully for the winter.
The flowers are small, up to 3-4 cm, of various colors. Typically, rambler roses have little or no scent, but this is compensated by their abundant blooms.

Pests and diseases of climbing roses
Powdery mildew. This disease is caused by a fungus. It appears on the leaves in the form of white spots that increase over time. Forms well in hot and humid conditions in late summer. The plant itself stops growing and stops blooming. Which could ultimately lead to his death. To prevent the disease, experts recommend spraying the bushes with Bordeaux solution.
Conitirium - bark cancer. Symptoms when releasing bushes from winter shelter. Red-brown spots appear on the bark; as they grow, they begin to turn black and can cover the entire shoot. The infection is located internally, so infected shoots must be quickly cut out, including healthy shoots, and then immediately burned.
This mushroom grows quickly in the dark under cover. As a preventive measure, nitrogen levels are reduced in the fall, tissue feeding, shelter at the appropriate time and ventilation when necessary, and material removal. Removal and extermination of damaged areas. In addition to them, the plant can be affected by aphids and spider mites.
Planting and care
Climbing roses - varieties of permanent flowering - prefer sunny areas located on the south side. Thanks to good lighting, the development of growth is accelerated, and already next summer after planting, abundant flowering can be observed. It is unacceptable to plant young plants in lowlands, as roses do not tolerate stagnant moisture.
Important! In cases where flowers are planted for the purpose of decorating an object, it is best to plant a seedling 50 cm from it.
Experts advise planting bushes in the spring months at sunset. In autumn, seedlings do not have time to adapt and most often die.
Continuously blooming varieties of roses will decorate the area and do not require complex care.
Planting process:
- First of all, the holes are prepared, the size of which should be within 50x50 cm.
- The prepared hole is filled with water.
- The seedling is planted in a hole, which is filled with soil and compacted. If you trim the above-ground part of the plant by 15 cm, you can be sure of rapid growth and rich flowering in the future.
Important! If you still need to plant a bush in the fall, it is best to do this in September, when the rose has time to take root, but does not begin to grow.
In the following years after planting, the seedlings do not require complex care, but it is important to carry out in a timely manner:
- bush pruning;
- watering;
- application of fertilizers.
Pruning shrubs allows you to give the plants the desired shape. It is recommended to water roses every 7-8 days, and add organic matter and minerals to the soil as top dressing.
Note! Plants are planted at a slight slope to the support. If planting is carried out near the house, such a distance should be provided so that the water that will drain does not collect at the roots.
Semi-climbing varieties
We recommend that you read
These varieties of roses are distinguished by strong shoots, so they can grow even in places where there is no special support. They reach a height of 3 meters. Large and densely planted flowers cover the entire bush, covering the leaves and stems with colorful buds. We should briefly consider the most common varieties of these roses in our area.
Semi-climbing roses of the Flammentanz variety have long stems decorated with double flowers of a crimson hue. Usually the size of the bud reaches 8 cm, but you should not expect a heady aroma - there is practically none. This variety is an annual, then it is pruned and new flowering shoots are awaited.
Golden Gate features clusters of yellow flowers with velvety petals. With a good location of the bush, the flowers can be 10 centimeters in size, and the bush itself grows up to 4 meters in height.
The flowers of this variety of roses have a unique, strong fruity scent, but the bush requires some care, especially in the winter season. It must be carefully wrapped to preserve the shoots until the next season. In addition, the plant is susceptible to attacks by pests, which, with insufficient attention from the owner, can lead to a lack of flowers and even death.
The Sympathie variety, unlike the previous one, tolerates negative weather factors very well, grows quickly and blooms profusely. The buds of this type of rose have a bright red color and vary in size for each flower in the cluster. The bush can reach 3 meters in height and up to 2 meters in width. There is only one drawback of this variety - flowering will decrease every year, so you need to periodically replant the bush to renew it.
If you want to have an unpretentious plant in your garden that can easily tolerate any negative factors, then you should pay attention to the Ilse Krohn Superior variety. In addition to its very great endurance, the bush will delight you with milky flowering all summer, right up to frost.
Very rarely does a rose grow to a large size, but this is compensated by huge buds with a diameter of up to 15 centimeters.
Another variety of hardy semi-climbing roses is Laguna. The variety is distinguished by velvety pink buds in the shape of brushes, which exude a persistent floral aroma. This perennial plant does not require special care throughout the year, except for winter wrapping.

Why the climbing rose does not bloom: reasons
- Painful lesions - any disease weakens the garden crop, which interferes with the development of beautiful flowering.
- Wild shoots - many shoots appear as the flower grows along the root area. Untimely removal of which contributes to a decrease in the vital activity of the plant. Over time, the rose grows wild and stops blooming.
- Improperly prepared winter shelter - the lack of free space between the protective film and the seedling itself contributes to the formation of moisture during the warm period of time, which has a detrimental effect on the formation of buds, as well as sub-zero temperatures
- Excess nitrogen supplements - this fertilizing activates the growth of the green crown of the plant, which interferes with the setting of inflorescences.
- Incorrectly chosen planting location - the rose does not like drafts and shading. This can not only lead to a lack of flowers, but also completely destroy the plant.
- Inappropriate pruning – Excessive pruning can result in the removal of young shoots. The plant will not have time to recover and naturally will not form buds.
- Poor soil composition is an important factor on which the entire growth and condition of the rose depends. We choose soil that is fertile, loose, and contains useful microelements.
How and when to properly cover climbing roses for the winter?
- For regions with warm climates, a simple shelter on a support post is suitable. We place spruce branches on the ground according to the diameter of the plant’s growth or secure it to the branches with a rope. Next, we insulate the structure with lutrasil.
- In mid-latitudes, a more thorough method of protection will be required:
- Without waiting for a strong cold snap, we remove the branches from the supports and bend them to the soil. There are types of roses that have a tight trunk; we bend it in stages, fixing it with iron staples. The tops of seedlings should not be allowed to come into contact with the ground.
- Plants that have grown too wide in randomly selected areas are tied with a rope, preventing the needles from injuring the stems.
- You can make a detachable frame, placing it next to the branches. A support is created above them, which is covered with film.
- A simple way to preserve plants is to bend the stems to the soil, secure them with rope and insulate them with a layer of fir legs. We put insulation on this structure.
- It is good to hide bushes arranged in a row in a structure made of plywood blocks no higher than 80 cm. Flower vines hidden in this way do not come into contact with the ground or tree, which minimizes infection. We install the fence in the warm season, secure it with stakes and cover it with polyethylene or other moisture-proof fabric. The main thing is that the seedlings are not wet at this time. We close the sides of the huts with the onset of constant cold weather. This method allows roses to withstand -8°.
- A layer of roofing material will help protect you in the cold winter. The presence of a decent snow layer on the shelter makes it possible to maintain the temperature in the structure at least -10°. At above-zero temperatures, there is access to opening and ventilation from the side of the structure.
- Separately, we construct a three-dimensional frame in the form of a rectangle for the growing bush, this promotes free air circulation inside the structure. Using lutrasil, roofing felt, we insulate the structure, the edges of the covering material are fixed with a layer of earth.

Autumn pruning of climbing roses after flowering and preparation for winter: description
We begin preparing for wintering in the summer months:
- In July we radically change the feeding structure. In the spring, the flower crop had nitrogen-containing recharge, which activated the growth of the crop. Closer to autumn, seedlings become necessary to feed, containing potassium and phosphorus compounds. This is due to the fact that young shoots, in the absence of a change in fertilizing, will continue to form, and with the onset of even slight frosts they will receive frostbite, which will lead to rotting during the thaw. Potassium replenishment promotes woodiness of the stem, giving it greater resistance. Phosphorus has a positive effect on the roots of bushes and provides a good stimulus for the formation of inflorescences and buds. We finally fertilize the plants on the 15th of September - this will give the bushes time to prepare for wintering.
- Without waiting for the first frost, we carry out some more manipulations to slow down the growth of the plant, in order to wooden the vines and stop the growth of the root system. To stop the process of formation of new buds and shoots, we stop pruning the shoots. In order for the rose to overwinter well, under no circumstances do we remove existing buds from the bushes.
- At the end of autumn, we remove all leaf cover from the branches.
- Next we move on to the trimming stage. This must be done to make it easier to cover the pruned bush, in order to prevent it from freezing and becoming infected with parasites and pests. We carry out sequestration with the appearance of five-degree frosts. This will allow the bushes to harden and survive in more severe conditions. When pruning in autumn, we eliminate vines that can harm the garden rose: infected parts are dangerous for the entire bush. In addition, we destroy broken, frail areas, dried buds and greenery. We leave strong shoots no longer than 0.3 meters.
Reproduction of climbing and climbing roses by layering, cuttings: description
Green cuttings.
It is usually carried out in June, at the beginning of flowering:
- We take cuttings from stems with 2-3 internodes.
- We mow the bottom of the cutting at a 45° angle right next to the bud, and cut the top straight, at a short distance from the bud.
- We remove the entire foliage from the lower part, and remove half of it from the rest of the area.
- Next, we lower it into a container with a mixture of earth and sand or directly into the soil to a depth of 0.5-1 cm.
- We hide it under a glass jar or film. We put it in the shade.
- Watering without removing the polyethylene.
By layering.
- With the onset of the spring thaw, when the branches begin to come to life, we take the selected vine a little further away, put it in a groove in the form of a groove and dig in with well-fertilized soil.
- We secure the shoot by pinning it to the ground so that it does not climb to the surface.
- We pull out the top of the vine and secure it to the stick with a rope.
- In this way, one rose bush produces one cutting; more can weaken the main seedling.
- You can form the required number of young roses from a single seedling by repeatedly pinning a branch, leaving one bud above the ground.
- We care for the plant in the usual way, just do not dry out the soil.
- The warm season promotes the development of a viable root system.
- The cuttings are cut off from the mother shoot and placed in a permanent place.
