Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your blossomtime climbing rose is straightforward and rewarding, ensuring a continuous display of its beautiful blooms. This rose thrives in sunny conditions, ideally receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. While it exhibits some shade tolerance, more sun generally leads to more prolific flowering. Ensure your chosen location has good air circulation to minimize disease risk. The soil should be average to enriched, evenly moist, and most importantly, well-drained. Roses do not like ‘wet feet,’ so avoid areas where water tends to pool. Amending heavy clay soils with organic matter can significantly improve drainage and aeration.

Water your fragrant climbing rose deeply and regularly, especially during dry spells and its initial establishment period. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Deep watering encourages roots to grow deeper, making the plant more resilient. Fertilize in early spring as new growth begins, and then again after the first flush of blooms, using a balanced rose fertilizer. Pruning is best done in early spring before new growth starts. Remove any dead, damaged, or diseased canes, and shape the plant to encourage strong, healthy growth and abundant flowering. For optimal results, follow a comprehensive climbing rose plant care routine.

Since it is a vigorous climbing rose, providing adequate support is crucial. Install a sturdy trellis, arch, or other support structure at planting time. Gently tie new canes to the support as they grow, guiding them horizontally to encourage more blooms. Monitor for common rose pests and diseases, and address them promptly with appropriate organic or chemical treatments if necessary. With proper care, your Blossomtime rose will flourish and become a highlight of your garden for many years.
