A Gardener's Guide to Climbing and Rambling Roses

00:00This winter we've taken out as many plants as we possibly can.

00:05The next thing we've done is put in more structure.

00:08These fantastic hornbeam balls.

00:12We've made obelisks to take a rambling rose there

00:15and then there's another one on this side.

00:17And we'll bring the planting back, reusing as much as possible.

00:21And today I'm going to be planting a rose to go up this obelisk.

00:30I've got this rose to match the one on the other side, called Chevy Chase.

00:53It's got a mass of red flowers and it flowers for a long time,

00:57which is unusual because that is a rambling rose.

01:01A rambling rose tends to only flower once with lots of small flowers

01:06produced on the previous year's wood.

01:10Whereas climbing roses tend to have bigger flowers,

01:13all produced on the current season's wood.

01:16Now it doesn't matter if you've got a climbing or a rambling rose,

01:20the way of planting them is the same.

01:22You dig a hole and you put them in it.

01:24Job done. Well, almost.

01:34I'm digging quite a deep hole because the roots are quite substantial.

01:39This is a bare root rose, which is why I've got it in a bucket of water.

01:43Now, roses should always be planted deeper than they come in the pot.

01:50This is the graft and this is the rootstock.

01:55This tells you how it grows. This tells you how it flowers.

01:58I like to plant it so that that is about an inch below the soil

02:02and that will stop root rock and also reduce suckers.

02:09That's about right. Almost perfect.

02:11So hold that in position and then get the soil around it.

02:17You don't need to add any extra goodness to the soil.

02:21Because if you do, you're just encouraging the roots

02:24to stay in the planting hole.

02:27Roses are tough, particularly rambling roses.

02:30They will cope with all kinds of conditions.

02:34The bare root season is roughly November to the end of February,

02:37so we're right at the edge of it.

02:39You may find it easier at this time of year to plant containerised roses.

02:45Give it a good soak.

02:51Always water any plant when you put it in,

02:53but particularly a woody plant like this.

02:55Now, remember this is a rambler,

02:58so all the new growth this year will have not a single flower on it.

03:03That doesn't matter. We're just establishing it,

03:05train it to work it round the obelisk,

03:08and then next year we'll start to flower,

03:10and in year three it should be magnificent.

03:13And if you could explain it enough to each leave soon.

03:18That's how MUA man died.

03:19So the first one has to see it in the museum.

03:20That's the inspiration

03:21on how BLUH is.

03:22That's what enemies in the museum,

03:23are at the tailêts estudants learning too.

03:25And we're just asking about the вкус of the superhuman knowledge.

03:26And we're just comparing all the vegetables to the passive roots

03:29thattarjanus wants to grow ok to a tribe.

03:31And if you do, which is a video of a tribe of a native criar thing,

03:33it's mainly berry 2 hot in 1996.
