Climbing rose Flamentanz is a tall plant used to decorate gardens and personal plots, as well as in floristry for arranging bouquets. The variety is characterized by good immunity and frost resistance, distributed in the European, Central, Middle Zone and North Caucasus.
History of selection
The hybrid variety of the crop is the result of German selection. Wilhelm Cordes is considered the originator of the climbing rose Flamentanz. The varietal name in translation sounds like “fiery dance”. The climbing rose was created in the 50s of the last century under the official name KORflata; at exhibitions and the flower market it is better known as Flammentanz. The copyright holder is the company “W. Kordes’ Sohne Rosenschulen GmbH & Co KG" (Cortes and Sons).
Description and characteristics of the climbing rose variety Flamentanz
The variety is widespread in all climatic zones (with the exception of the Far North).The climbing rose is highly frost-resistant, which allows it to be grown in regions with temperatures not lower than -28–30 0C. The main distribution of the Flamentanz variety is noted in the fourth climatic zone.

External characteristics:
- The crop grows as a voluminous bush, the width of which reaches 1.5 m. Shoot formation is active, perennial vines can grow up to 2.5 m in a temperate climate, up to 4 m in the south.
- The stems of the climbing rose are brown, woody, the thorns are hard, long, and prickly.
- The foliage is dense, medium-sized, rounded, with a sharp tip.
- The plates are located on long petioles in 3–5 pieces, the color is light green. The leaves have a pronounced central vein and serrated edges.
- The flowers of the climbing variety are large - 8 cm in diameter, double type, bright red with a burgundy tint. The central part is open, with numerous short filaments and brown anthers.
- The inflorescences are paniculate, long, consist of 3–5 buds, drooping when the flowers bloom.
The climbing rose Flamentanz blooms once per season from early June to July. Flowers bloom alternately, the period lasts on average 30–35 days. The main budding is on last year's stems. Old vines bloom, but the arrangement of inflorescences on them is less dense.
Throughout the entire life cycle, Flamentanz flowers do not change color, do not fade or fade in the sun
Climbing rose has average drought resistance. The variety does not respond well to the drying out of the root ball, so additional watering is required. The abundance of budding is not affected by differences in night and day temperatures.The climbing rose calmly tolerates gusts of wind, but does not like drafts.
The Flamentanz variety grows in any type of soil with good drainage and aeration. In order for the flowers to be bright and large, the rose needs additional nutrition. Therefore, fertilizing is carried out periodically. Climbing rose is demanding on soil acidity. Flamentanza grows only on neutral soil.
An area with sufficient ultraviolet radiation is allocated for the plant, but the bush should be slightly shaded at midday. Burns are possible on the crown. Climbing Flamentanz grows poorly in areas with close groundwater.
If all biological requirements are met, the rose does not get sick and fully blooms in the fourth year of growth.
Advantages and disadvantages of the variety
Climbing Flamentanza is the brightest representative of the group of red roses. The life cycle of the plant is perennial; the crop does not need replanting. The rose retains profusion of flowering for up to twelve years.
The main advantages of Flamentanz include:
- high frost resistance;
- good budding, independent of weather conditions;
- stress resistance and strong immunity;
- lush bright inflorescences;
- long flowering period;
- decorative crown;
- large, double flowers that do not get wet during prolonged rains;
- versatility of use. The variety is suitable for landscape design and cutting.
Minuses:
- blooms only once on last year's shoots;
- support is required;
- does not tolerate absolute shade and waterlogged soil;
- presence of thorns.
Reproduction methods
A hybrid seedling is not suitable for generative propagation.A climbing crop grown from seeds does not retain varietal characteristics. Flamentanza is propagated only vegetatively. In the southern regions, layering can be used for this purpose. In spring, the woody stem is fixed to the surface and covered with soil. They are insulated for the winter so that the root threads do not die. At the beginning of the season, when sprouts appear, plots are cut and planted.
The main method of propagation is cuttings. It is more effective both for the south and for cold regions. The material is harvested after flowering. Activities are carried out during rose pruning. Cuttings 10–12 cm long are taken from last year’s shoots. The lower part is cut at an angle. Plant in a container with fertile soil. Before frost, containers are lowered into the basement.
Two-year-old rose seedlings are planted on the plot
Planting and caring for the climbing rose Flamentanz
The climbing variety is planted near a support at an angle of 300. If they are placed near a wall, then they retreat enough so that rainwater from the roof does not fall on the root. Planted in spring or autumn. For regions where winter temperatures can drop to -28 0C, it is preferable to carry out the work early in the season, approximately mid to late April.
A hole 35–40 cm deep is drained, a layer of peat mixed with compost is filled in, and complex mineral fertilizer is added.
Before planting, Flamentanz roses are shortened to six vegetative buds.
Growing climbing Flamentanza:
- Watering is necessary in dry weather twice a week. Each bush will require 20 liters of water.
- The root circle is mulched. This event will save you from constant loosening. Weeds are removed from the roots.
- They begin to feed the rose from the second year. In the spring, nitrogen agents and liquid organic matter are added. During budding, fertilize with phosphate preparations. In autumn, potassium and phosphorus are used.
Before frost, remove the lashes from the support, lay them on the ground, make a ridge over them (hill up). Install the arcs and cover with any waterproof material.
Pruning Flamentanz roses
The main pruning of climbing Flamentanza is carried out after flowering. Faded inflorescences are removed so that the plant does not waste nutrients on them; this procedure is relevant for a young crop. An adult bush with a developed root system fully provides the rose, so the fruits can be left as additional decoration.
Flamentanza blooms on stems 1–3 years old. Older lashes are cut off completely. Young shoots are not touched; the main buds will form on them next spring. At the beginning of the season, sanitary cleaning is carried out, dry and frozen areas are removed.
Pests and diseases
Hybrid groups are characterized by better immunity than varietal ones. If the site is chosen correctly, the climbing rose Flamentanz does not get sick. In the shade and on waterlogged soil, the rose is affected by powdery mildew. In rainy summers, black spotting may occur. To prevent the spread of fungal infection, the rose is treated at the beginning of growth and before flowering with Fitosporin.
Insects attack Flamentanza, like any crop variety. When pests spread massively on a rose, the following parasitize:
- rose leaf roller. Eliminate with “Spark”;
- spider mite “Agraverine” worked well against him;
- Aphids are observed less frequently. Treat the rose with Confidor.
In spring, colloidal sulfur is used for preventive purposes.
Flamentanz roses in landscape design
The Flamentanz hybrid blooms once per season. The bush is dense and densely leafy, the fruits are very large, hanging in clusters on the shoots. The plant has a decorative appearance from spring to late autumn. This quality is highly valued by gardeners and designers, which is why the climbing variety Flamentanz is often found in gardens throughout Russia.
A climbing rose in a design can be used in the following cases:
- To create arches of all kinds of designs.
- For decorating high, solid fences.
