The Main Rose Garden
A salmon-pink climbing rose of moderate fragrance. Very large, semi-double (9-16 petals), borne mostly solitary, in small clustersin a spring or summer flush with scattered later blooms.
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.
