Difference Between Climbing and Rambling Roses

[@christinemarie4769]

Watching your channel has made me a rose convert! When we moved into our home the previous owner left me directions with a schedule of sprays the roses needed almost monthly. Antifungals, insecticides, etc. Ugh! I dug the roses out and rehomed them all. Since watching your channel, I have added 8 roses into our landscape. They are all doing very well because I follow your advice and recommendations. I have learned so much and have completely changed my opinion of roses . Thank you!

I grew Cl. Cecile Brunner (a/k/a 'The Sweetheart Rose'), a climbing polyantha, at my home in NY years ago. Massive clusters of small light pink hybrid tea-like sweet-smelling blooms. It filled the whole backyard with its beautiful fragrance in summer with the occasional sparse repeat in fall. Rambler 20 -30ft. Oh, how I miss that spectacular rose!

UK breeder of roses such as the HT 'Sunset Celebration' ('Warm Wishes') and many others. Now retired. Told him about your endeavor. He's a real gentleman. Look him up on HMF when you have the time. I am only an enthusiastic hobbyist btw.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Dennis. What a treat to run into Gareth Fryer! I have his Day Breaker, Marijke Koopman, Liverpool Remembers and now also Sight Saver. There are a couple of ways to support the channel (financially, that is! and believe me, I even appreciate the non monetary kinds of encouragement): my preferred way is through www.buymeacoffee.com/fvrosefarm because the payment processing is flexible, and they don't take a large commission. The other way is through KZbin's "Thanks" feature which should show up directly beneath the video. I think you'd be processing payment through Google itself, and they keep something like 30% to go towards their next billion dollars in profit.

[@Shuttlefield]

Fabulous as always Jason with a great set of example roses. I recently gave a talk on this very subject as so much of the term climber/rambler lends itself towards use rather than true nature, the former generally being stiffer in habit and better leant to walls and fences whereas the more flexible for the arches and pergolas - but a great deal in between. I once heard the description of the difference by a rather prominent UK gardening celebrity that with their pruning, the ramblers should have their flowered stems removed to base to stimulate newer growth for future flowering. Can't say in all my years of working with roses that this would be right for dear old Albertine which often throws its newer stems from some way up the old framework. I have a mixture of ramblers and climbers against a traditional stock fence - some 42" high, amongst them Malvern Hills a rambler from Mr Austin that repeats as well as Kew Rambler, Swan Lake, Viechenbleu and St.Swithun which also lends itself wells through its flexible habit. Zepherine Dropuhin and Kathleen Harrop I use as climbers and they do well in the cooler climate in Scotland. At home I use the Gallica Tuscany as a 'climber' over my outbuilding and the stems are some 12' long and trained in. Some of the traditional climbers have different habits to their original stock, such as 'Blue Moon' in it's climbing form has huge, vigorous inflexible stems that bear flowers in Summer only but Ena Harkness with it's drooping heads makes a superb climber with flowers hanging towards the observer and an amazing scent and colour. Isphahan we've used as a rambler that scrambles through an old tree. You high-light the genealogy which is probably the most 'thorough' way to differentiate but I've gone with flexibility and adaptability for my clients to mix and match their needs. As ou say it can be all rather confusing - great job and thoroughly enjoyed.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks for sharing your take on it - and also the names of roses you've been using! Classes and categories are only helpful insofar as it seems to help people to digest information for decision-making, but in this case there are exceptions to every rule, so probably best not to look too closely!

I have found that the different climbers and ramblers need a different type of support. Some only grow on wood but not plastic trellises, some only grow on wire, some grow on fences and some won't. The has cost me a lot of money in the past when got the qrong support. It would be helpful to have this info before planting the climbers and ramblers.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Esther. I wonder if everyone's experience would match yours. I suppose because I end up tying the stems to the support with twine or coated wire, there's not a huge amount of direct contact with the material of the trellis or fence, so I just haven't noticed a difference with the varieties I've grown. Can you give us an example of one that won't grow on plastic, for instance?

[@rickberinger9063]

Love your informative videos- Was thinking of acquiring an American Pillar rose to grow on a trellis above my double basement doors. I live in Delaraware where the climate is hot and muggy in the summer, and quite a bit of rainfall. Will this rose be disease prone in my area , and if so, can you recommend another that is less prone to mildew or blackspot and has a more cottage-y vibe? I would prefer not to spray. Thank you.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

I haven't grown it myself, but I read on HMF that it's susceptible to mildew, so I suppose your concerns are well-founded. How do you like Laguna? I'm not sure exactly what qualifies as cottage-y, but I saw a large specimen at one of the local rose gardens and it was definitely charming.

What about as far as shade tolerance, any distinction to be made, climbers vs ramblers? I'd like to try a rambler but I am somewhat sun-challenged.

The ramblers are generally more shade tolerant than other classes. I'd also include hybrid musks in that search, because they have many of the same characteristics but are repeat blooming.

In the fact that climbers are more likely to be repeat flowering, you can feel free to prune more vigorously whenever you want. On a rambler, that will certainly cost you flowering if done first thing in the season, and they usually respond better to only a light pruning anyway.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

It's just a rose for growing in the garden, so pretty much all roses. I guess you could draw a distinction between a garden rose and a potted mini that's meant to be grown indoors for a time or a florist rose (selected for growing in greenhouse conditions).

[@jerrirussell7146]

I had a rose to die and what I'd like to know is I know that you can't plant back in that spot can you dig that spot out put more dirt in there and replant in there or can you just move a couple of feet over and plant another Rose in that area

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

The replant problem has mainly been observed in rose production fields, where the biology has become unfavorable over many years. Home gardeners can deal with it in the ways you mentioned: replace some of the old soil, or move a few feet over, and one expert I trust on the issue said it may help to inoculate with mycorrhiza in the planting hole.

Q: Do once blooming rambling roses all bloom at the same time in an area or are there early, mid, and late types (so could have blooms from different rambler plants at different times in garden)?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Hi Sheryl - they do bloom at different times depending on the parent species. Most tend to be around late spring, early summer

[@sheryl3268]

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Awesome, because what we have blooms around 1st week of May. So we could extend it by adding others that are as maintenance free. Although, seems could add repeat bloomers and just not deadhead too I suppose. Thanks for everything!

Hi, silly question, is there a thornless climbing rose?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Yes. Zephirine Drouhin comes to mind as one of the best known.

If someone wants to buy roses from you , how will it be possible?? I am from India. Thank you 😊

Sorry, I only sell roses in Canada

Do you have any suggestions for 9-10 zones on climbing roses? Thank you

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Just about everything that's hardy to a lower zone will also accept milder winter weather. The real challenge (depending on your climate) is how hot and humid/dry it gets in the summer, and some roses are more tolerant than others of those conditions. I'd be looking for a rose society or public garden in a similar climate for recommendations. My summer is only moderately warm.

[@LoanNguyen-js6zd]

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thank you.

[@tokisaki_Kurumi_Xo]

Would it be a good idea to train a rambler or climber onto a tree?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

I've seen it done beautifully. The one caution is that both the rose and the tree will require some level of maintenance over their lifespan, and their entanglement is something you'll have to deal with when considering pruning. Not a deal breaker necessarily, but something to plan on.

[@gescarziga1943]

Can you form the climbing rose into the shape of a cross, another video states that it only buds roses when trained to grow horizontally

[@guillerminaarias3820]

Can anyone tell me please, if "Pierre de Ronsard" is climbler as I believe or is it rambler? Thanks a lot!!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Climber.

I get to pick? Okay, 'Laguna'.

When is it time to prune climbing roses??

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Usually late winter or early spring. If you missed that window, though, it's no harm to tackle it later in the season.

[@graedot]

Im teying to find a video with Coupe d' Hebe. If anyone can pont me in that direction, Id apprexiate it! I love your vides! Definetly a subscriber!

[@madaboutflowers3136]

Are there any climbing roses that will survive in Zone 3/4?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

I'll do a video on hardy climbers at some point, but the Canadian explorer series has a few I like for sure: John Davis, Henry Kelsey, John Cabot, William Baffin

[@ashleighswenson3975]

What's the hardiest rambler that you know of?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Off the top of my head, it might be something like 'Polestar' at zone 3. Many of the wichurana hybrids are zone 4 (American Pillar, Francois Juranville & others), as are Baltimore Belle and Seven Sisters I think.
