Climbing Roses - Guides
Design Ideas for Climbing Roses: Climbing roses elevate any garden, adding height, fragrance, and timeless beauty. They create an enchanting backdrop, whether draping over walls, trellises, fences, pergolas, or arbors.
Covering Walls and Fences: Turn bare walls and fences into stunning floral displays. Train Rosa ‘New Dawn’ or Rosa ‘Don Juan’ to soften harsh structures, providing privacy, insulation, and a romantic touch.
Romantic Arches and Pergolas: Frame entrances and walkways with roses cascading over an arch or pergola. Choose thornless varieties like Rosa ‘Zephirine Drouhin’ for high-traffic areas.
Vertical Accents: Maximize small gardens by training climbing roses on trellises and obelisks, adding height and structure while saving space.
Layered Gardens: Enhance visual interest by pairing roses with other climbers like clematis. Their intertwined blooms create a lush, multi-season display.
Cottage Garden Aesthetic: Pair climbing roses with classic cottage perennials like lavender, delphiniums, and foxgloves for a colorful, naturalistic effect.
With the right design and care, climbing roses create breathtaking displays that last for years.
