Stages of creating landscape design
Layout
If you decide to seriously engage in climbing varieties, you need to think about where on the site the rose garden will be located. These types of climbing plants prefer sunny places, but without scorching sun. Direct sunlight has a detrimental effect on the plant itself, but, most importantly, the exoticism of the rose bush is lost.
When choosing a place to plant climbing roses, landscape designers suggest paying attention to shaded areas so that there is no wind there and the sun illuminates the rose bushes for no more than 6 hours. The picture shows the correct placement of rose bushes in a vertical landscape design.
Selection of plants
After you have created a rough landscape design plan, you need to select the appropriate varieties of the queen of the garden. You need to take into account the color scheme of climbing varieties. The color of the buds should be in harmony with each other.
According to the international classification, climbing roses are divided into three groups:
- They are distinguished by flexible, arched shoots 1.5-5 meters long. The shoots are always bright green with thorns. The color range is extensive. There are varieties with small and large flowers, double or simple, forming inflorescences. Flowering is abundant and long, sometimes up to a month. The small size of the flowers with abundant flowering gives the rose bush (see photo) harmony and grace. The leaves on rose bushes are dense, glossy, and small in size. Frost resistance is high; in light frosts they do well with light shelter.
- Plants of this group were obtained by crossing with remontant and hybrid tea varieties of roses. The shoots grow quickly and reach a length of 4 meters. The varieties belong to vines, they are called climbing roses. The buds are large and loose. The color palette is wide. Flowering can occur in two waves. The plants are winter-hardy and are little susceptible to diseases typical of climbing roses. These climbing queens in the photo are pure perfection.
- Some roses begin to mutate at certain times. And this happens on its own.But breeders choose the most exotic specimens and consolidate the properties of roses. This is how the third group appeared, which flower growers fell in love with. These hardy varieties of climbing plants with large buds and a variety of colors are an excellent material for designers. The lashes of climbing roses are long and powerful. But such queens of the garden begin to bloom later. Flower growers like this climbing varieties gave the name climbers. They look elegant in landscape design, as evidenced by the photo.

- Cordes, Polka, Sympathy and Rosarium Jutersen;
- Climbing Peace, Aloha, Golden Perfume, Elf and others.
Roses in landscape design
Climbing roses are not quite vines, although they climb. They cling to support with their spikes. Arches, gazebos, and columns can be used as support. Plants on natural supports, such as trees in the garden, look good. Often used broom, rowan, yew.
