Climbing roses groups
The progenitors of modern varieties are wild rose hips, but over the years, in the course of natural crossing and selection work, the appearance and properties of the varieties have changed. Sometimes it is difficult to even imagine that a luxurious cultivar, striking with an abundance of flowers of incredible shades, has a modest plowed or steppe rose in its relatives.
The classification of climbing roses into groups is rather complicated, the systematization is at the stage of formation, therefore, inaccuracies and discrepancies in the combination of species and varieties occur. This is explained by the wide variety of the family, since when creating new varieties and hybrids, different types of roses are crossed.
Rambler
A large group, including varieties with elastic soft shoots, reaching a length of 8-12 meters. Peculiarities:
- intensive growth;
- small flowers, 2-4 cm in diameter;
- flowers form numerous inflorescences, each from 30 to 100 flowers;
- the color is formed on last year's shoots;
- little or no aroma.
Most ramblers bloom once, flowering is lush, abundant, lasting up to 30-40 days. They are considered the most suitable for decorating arches, pergolas, gazebos, and fences.
Note! Climbing roses, according to the rules of botany, are not included in the group of climbing plants that have antennae, layering for fastenings. Therefore, when decorating supports, roses must be tied up.
Rambler are distinguished by frost resistance, therefore, representatives of this group are most often chosen for growing in central Russia and the northern regions. Representatives: American Pillar, Brewood Belle, Red Parfum, Goldfinch.
Climbers
The combined group includes cultivars with powerful, strong shoots reaching a length of 2-5 meters. Breeders crossed climbing roses with tea, tea-hybrid, resulting in new interesting varieties.
Peculiarities:
- large flowers, 5-10 cm in diameter;
- double flowering (in most varieties);
- high winter hardiness (especially among new generations of climbers);
- flowers are formed on all shoots, including the new season.
Representatives: Breath of Life, Sally Holmes, Compassion.
Climing
A group resulting from mutations in the buds of scrubs or roses of the hybrid tea category. Allocation of it into a separate group is conditional, since the claimings are climbing forms of different types.
Peculiarities:
- lush bloom;
- active growth of stems;
- large flowers (10-12 cm in diameter).
For designations, a special marking is used - the prefix Cl and an indication of the garden group. So, if the claming is based on the Floribunda rose, the designation is ClF, from the hybrid tea rose - ClHT.
Climings are not highly resistant to low temperatures, so they are grown mainly in the southern regions. They are demanding for light, heat, in the northern regions they do not show their potential, they give little growth.
Representatives: Ena Harkness (ClHT), Gloriya Day, Double Delight, Cecile Brunner Climbing.
Cordes
Climbing roses from the Cordes group are distinguished by long flowering, resistance to various diseases, and a varied color palette. Hybrids bred in Germany, reach 2.3-3 meters in length, are resistant to low temperatures.
Representatives: Ilse Krohn Superior, Alchymist, Flamentanz, Aloha, Laguna.
Vishurana
Hybrids not distinguished by resistance to low temperatures, bred on the basis of several subspecies of cultivars. Roses of this group form small flowers, collected in lush inflorescences, shoots in length reach 12-15 meters.

Banks
The ancestors of the hybrids are Asian roses brought to Britain at the end of the 18th century. Stems are long, up to 6-7 meters, flowering once. Roses of this group belong to evergreens, are distinguished by beautiful glossy leaves, lush flowering. Coloring - mono or combined.
Representatives: Rosa Banksiae Lutea, Rosa banksiae.
Multiflora
The subgroup includes varieties that grow wild in the countries of East Asia. Plants have a powerful and strong root system that allows them to grow in rocky landscapes. Multiflora roses were brought to Europe in the middle of the 20th century, they are less common than other subspecies of them are collected. A distinctive feature of the varieties: no smell, bright red fruits, winter hardiness. Representatives: Decoration de Geschwindt, Ghislaine de Feligonde.

Description of climbing roses and their photos
This flower will be an excellent screen in order to hide garden buildings that are completely inappropriate for the landscape design. You can write a description of climbing roses if you divide them into six groups:
- multiflora;
- visuriana;
- Lambert;
- cordesa;
- Banks;
- claming.
These groups are internationally recognized. Climbing roses can also be divided into groups according to the nature of growth:
-
- curly;
- climbing;
- semi-leafy.
Note that curly roses are real roses. The second and third groups represent plants created by crossing or mutation. Nevertheless, each of the species is beautiful in its own way. All of them differ in their long, color of the shoots, as well as the duration of flowering.
Some varieties from the three groups presented are winter-hardy.In some cases, the plant can survive the winter under light cover during the coldest period. Therefore, winter-hardy climbing roses for Moscow region are the best solution.
These plants are divided into subgroups, and the process is based on how the shoots bloom. So, for example, klaimengs bloom on the shoots of the current year, but ramblers on the shoots of past years. The basic rules of care and cultivation also depend on these features.
Look at the photo of climbing roses, the description of which you have already read above:
Features of care after flowering
What to do when roses have faded
With the beginning of the autumn period, you should start preparing roses for the winter period. From the last days of August, you need to completely stop watering and loosening the land and start feeding potassium instead of nitrogen. The upper part of the unripe stems must be removed. Such roses must be covered for the winter, but first they are removed from the supporting structure and placed on the soil surface. It is very easy to lay a young plant on the ground. It is not easy to lay an adult specimen on the ground, and it can take up to 7 days. It should be remembered that at sub-zero temperatures, the shoots become fragile and can break.
How to cover climbing roses for the winter
You need to cover the plant when the air temperature drops below minus 5 degrees. This should not be done earlier, because the flowers must harden, and they can also begin to grow or grow (which is associated with a long stay under shelter without air). Shelter should be done in non-rainy, calm weather.
From the removed shoots, you need to remove the leaves, cut off the damaged stems, tie the whips using a rope, and then carefully put them on the litter. To create it, you can use dry leaves or spruce branches
Do not place the plant on bare soil. Press or fix the plant on the soil surface, and cover it with dry leaves or grass, and you can also use spruce branches. The base of the bush must be sprinkled with soil or sand, and then cover the plant with lutrasil, polyethylene film, roofing felt or other material that is able not to get wet. A layer of air should remain between the plant and the shelter.
