Rambling roses require very similar treatment to
climbing roses although pruning can
require special treatment depending on the type of rambler. Click on
"pruning roses" in the left hand menu for specific details for rambling
roses.
So, if climbing and rambling roses are so similar,
what are the differences between the two? Climbing roses tend to
flower repeatedly throughout the summer whereas rambling roses
tend to flower once a year. Rambling roses are also best suited to growing through trees or
as ground cover. They are not so suitable for growing up vertical
structure such as walls and trellis. Rambling roses grow at great speed and easily cover up
eyesores. After flowering they produce some of the most beautiful hips
of all the roses.
