🌹🦋A climbing rose that blooms like a waterfall. This rose can be used to decorate flower walls, fences or vertical spaces in the garden, creating a dreamy scene for the garden. Its spreading nature and brilliant flowers create a unique garden atmosphere, attracting butterflies and bees to come for nectar.

💫🌸The flowers are diverse and colorful, from soft pink, gorgeous red to dazzling orange, and even elegant yellow, each exuding an intoxicating fragrance. The flowers are medium in size and vary in shape, some with single petals and others with double petals.

01 What month do you plant climbing roses?

Potted climbing roses can be planted at any time of the year providing the ground is not lying wet. Between the beginning of summer when they're dormant can be best, allowing the roots to establish before your rose bursts into life in the September.

02 Do you have to cut back climbing roses every year?

Established climbing roses need to be pruned every year, but won't benefit from being cut back hard unless there are issues with the plant and it requires renovating. Your aim is for the main stems to grow tall and cover the intended surface or structure, and cutting them back will impede this.

03 Do climbing roses spread?

Climbing roses can form a vibrant landscape backdrop for border perennials and annuals. They are also a lovely choice for arbors, trellises, fences, and pergolas. Most varieties will grow from 6- to 12-feet long and will spread about 3- to 4-feet wide.

04 Whether or not rose bush roots are invasive?

Rose bush roots are commonly referred to as non-invasive. Rose bushes are not known to displace foundations or water pipes.

The roots of roses will spread in the direction of the water. So if you have leaking pipes the rose roots will grow towards them. These can normally not cause any damage as they are not strong enough.

05 Do climbing roses bloom the first year?

Climbing roses don't bloom much their first season or two because they are growing to their full height. That takes a lot of energy. It's like fruit trees. When they are young they don't yield fruit. But whatever, now is the best time.

06 Do Climbing roses have a lifespan?

Many of the modern roses will only live six to 10 years unless given exceptional care. Some species and climbing roses will live 50 years or more.

07 How do I know if my rose is a climber or a rambler?

Sometimes it can be hard to distinguish between a climbing rose and a rambling rose. The easiest way to tell the difference is to take note of the flowering time. A climbing rose will repeat-flower almost all summer, while a rambling rose usually flowers only once, normally around June.

08 Can any rose be a climbing rose?

Climbing types came from plants that were selected and further bred over the years because they had particularly strong and long canes. Over time, hybrids and cultivars that we now consider climbers were developed. Climbers can be any type of rose, including damask, hybrid tea, species, shrub, or floribunda.

How Much Seed Do I Need?

1. Measure

For Squares or Rectangles: measure the length and width of the space where you want to plant.

For Circles: find the radius - measure the widest part of your planting space and divide by 2.

2. Calculate Square Footage

For Squares or Rectangles: length (in feet) x width (in feet) = square feet

For example, a garden that measures 50 feet x 30 feet = 1500 sq. ft.

For Circles: radius (in feet) x radius x 3.14 = square feet

For example, a circular garden that is 20 feet across has a radius of 10 feet. 10 x 10 x 3.14 = 314 sq. ft.

(The mathematical formula for the area of a circle is Π · r2 - the Π symbol is pronounced Pi and represents approximately 3.142, and r2 stands for radius squared.)

3. Find How Much Seed You Need

The amount of seed you should plant depends on the flower display you want. We typically recommend planting on the higher side for a lush meadow. Plant on the lower side for a more scattered look.

For Individual Species: The recommended rates vary greatly from species to species. Check the product page, or contact us with questions.

For Wildflower Mixes: Reference the table below.

THIS MUCH SEED COVERS...	THIS MUCH SQUARE FOOTAGE
1/4 lb	250 - 500 sq. ft.
1/2 lb	500 - 1,000 sq. ft.
1 lb	1,000 - 2,000 sq. ft.
5 lbs	5,000 - 10,000 sq. ft.
10 lbs	10,000 - 25,000 sq. ft.

Acreage

1 Acre = 43,000 sq.ft.
1/2 Acre = 21,500 sq. ft.
1/4 Acre = 10,750 sq.ft.
1/10 Acre = 4,300 sq. ft.

Tips For Larger Plantings: If you have a large site, from 1/2 acre to several acres, your planting rate may be affected by land conditions. If you have heavy weeds on the site now, some erosion, generally poor soil, or other land problems, additional seed is usually the most economical solution, since installation of a large planting usually costs more than the seed itself. If your site does have these problems and you want full coverage, use 1 pound per 1000 sq. ft.
