The Main Rose Garden
A vigourous climber up to 5m - 6m with repeat flowering,large, single red blooms with a white eye set off by brilliant yellow stamens, The foliage is equally exceptional with its large, glossy, dark green leaves.
Grow in fertile, moist but well-drained soil that does not dry out, in full sun or partial shade. Climbers may repeat bloom. Climbing roses are not self-clinging and need supports of trellis or horizontal wires to which the shoots can be tied. Prune early to remove winter damage and dead wood. Prune after flowering (late autumn/winter) to shape and keep their size in check. If the plant is heavily congested, cut out any really old branches from the base to promote new growth. They will benefit from a mulch at this time. Regularly dead head.
