Once you've finished backfilling and firming down, check the all important graft point is still just visible and you haven't planted too deep. Removing ties, labels etc Before training your climbing rose to its support, you'll want to remove any ties, labels or anything else that might have been tied around your rose on the nursery - you don't want anything to impede its growth.

Comments Bob Carrier 26 Jun , Very informative article. Thank you. There seems to be a divergence of opinion though concrning the depth at which a climbing rose should be planted. Other rose experts advocate that the top of the graft should be an inch below ground not level with the soil. For the first year or two, climbers should be trained in the direction you want them to grow; pruning only to remove dead or diseased branches. This will allow the plant to establish itself and expand at the base for a fuller appearance.
After the first year or two, you can begin lightly pruning as needed in late winter to early spring for maintenance and shape; this will also help promote new growth. The main canes that come directly from the base should be pruned after flowering. The lateral canes produce the flowers and can be lightly pruned anytime of the year in order to keep the climber in shape.
Deadheading removing spent flowers will encourage more flowering on repeat-blooming varieties. For more specifics, see: Pruning Climbing Roses. Climbing roses prefer consistent, regular watering; water deeply in the first year to establish roots. Mornings are best. Water at the base of the plant.
Be careful not to overwater your roses, as they are more susceptible to fungal diseases if their feet are wet. Feed with a time-release fertilizer in early spring, before new growth begins. Water before and after feeding to prevent burning. A few inches of mulch around the base of the plant will help retain moisture through the warmer weather. Add some more mulch in the late fall, piling it up around the base of the plant to provide extra winter insulation.
Remove the excess mulch when the ground begins to warm in the spring. While most climbing roses offer better disease resistance than their shrubby cousins, they are still susceptible to black spot , anthracnose, powdery mildew , rust and other fungal problems caused by too much water, humidity and heat.

Also on the left side by drive. Plant some color by door in front of shrubs. If that is so, all shutters need to come off. I like the color of your home. Thank you for everyone's comments here. I did manage to plant a bunch of hostas around the shady back side of the shed a few years ago, as well as a peony at the corner, and they don't look too bad.
And I had great plans for the front side, with beautiful climbing roses growing up the trellises on either side and flowers in the beds -- but I could never get a rose to survive on the left side of the door for some reason, despite three tries, and then weeds took over.
I cleared the two beds last year and meant to plant them up again this year -- but the coronavirus hit and I never managed to do that either. I'll definitely re-plant the beds by the door next spring with snapdragons and petunias, which grow well here, and maybe some dahlias, and add some clematis for the trellises. I hope to be able to post a further update next summer. Thanks again! Cute cottage; hope you have a nice back yard, too. The plants will brighten the interior and exterior.
The easiest way is to paint the exterior two shades of the same color -- lighter for the house and darker for the trim, perhaps a Cape Cod blue or a pale sea grass green, and the visible front door the storm door, unless you plan to remove it either the trim color or a bolder shade of the same color. I like the idea of adding wide trim boards around all the windows to widen the trim after you repaint the house, whether or not you change out the small front window.
Paint the trim boards before nailing them up and then touch up the paint around the nails. Consider planting a hardy hedge or row of your favorite beach friendly plants -- or Yucca plants -- beginning at a point where the yard begins to slope downward and all the way to the right end of the house beneath that right front window -- something that will grow about waist high.
Budget and local building ordinances permitting, consider doing more: Before painting the exterior of the house, add a hip corner to that left side of the house and extend the roof up to the width of the existing carport and add that much to the length of the existing carport, having the roof wrap around the front of the house all the way to a point about half way between the front door and the small front window.
You've just enlarged the length of the carport to enable you to create a screened? Use the same stone look to create a new sidewalk with a beach look and adding curb appeal.
Climbing roses are often planted as bare root plants, without any container or ball of dirt. Before planting a bare root rose , soak in a bucket of lukewarm water for about an hour. Remove any leaves or hips from the stems, and prune long or damaged roots. Sanitize pruning shears before each use to prevent the spread of plant diseases.
Dig a hole large enough for the roots to spread out in. A good rule of thumb is to make the hole about twice as wide as the actual plant. Usually, this means that the hole needs to be about 18 inches 46 cm wide and 12 inches 31 cm deep.
Form a small mound in the middle of the hole. Scrape soil from inside the hole to form a small bump or hill. Some rose growers like to sprinkle rose fertilizer, bone meal, or other nutrients at the base of the hole. Do not use fertilizer on plants with young roots, as it can burn them. Other soil improvements should be based on the specific qualities of your soil. Place the rose plant in the hole. Sit the plant on the peak of the mound and carefully spread the roots out down the sides of the mound.
If your plant has a root ball, just spread out the roots growing around the outside. Check the location of the graft union — the knot or ball where the root system was attached to the base of the trunk.
Lay a tool handle flat from the edge of the hole to the trunk, and compare this with the level of the graft union: If you have dense or clay-heavy soil, plant the graft union about 1 inch 2. Adjust the height of the mound as necessary.
If you have light, loamy soil, plant the graft 1 inch 2. Water thoroughly. Fill the hole to the brim with water and let drain. Keep an eye on the water level. Continue to the next step as soon as it finishes draining, to prevent the roots drying out. Fill the hole with soil. Add soil back in the hole, until the roots are fully covered and the soil is level. As you fill, tamp down with your hands gently. Do not tamp with your feet or tools, as densely packed soil could harm the roots or interfere with the rose's growth.
Pay special attention to tamping early on. Make sure there are no air pockets around the roots. Make sure the crown of the plant is above the soil level. The crown is the point on the trunk where the stems emerge. Method 2. Make sure that the roses get enough water. Roses require about 1" of rain each week, so make sure that you supplement their water needs if the rain isn't falling. Water them at the base of the plant near the soil.
Avoid watering the leaves and blooms. While you can't control where the rainfall lands, if you add water to your plants make sure that you're avoiding buds and leaves. Otherwise, your plant may suffer diseases and rot, which can result from water. Instead, focus your watering on the roots. Check the soil times a week.
To make sure that your soil is moist but not soggy, check it times a week. If it feels dry, add water. Allowing the roots to get too wet can harm your plant, so if your soil has been soggy, give it time to dry before adding more water. Add mulch to your soil. Place a inch cm layer of mulch around your rose plants. The mulch will help keep your plants moist, and as a bonus it will also help protect against weed growth. During the winter, mulch can also help keep your roses from freezing.
Method 3. Choose the right climbing structure. Climbing roses tend to be fairly heavy, so you will need more than a pole to support them. Consider using a rose tower or teepee trellis, using the process described in the steps below. Alternatively, use existing structures: You may grow roses on a pergola or gazebo.
