Comment |
Outstanding rose with clear green relatively thornless stems. Growth is rampant, capable of considerable climbing feats when festooning trees, seeming not to mind the shade. Rosa sinowilsonii hybrid. "Single blooms are produced in large clusters, beautifully mingling with the dark foliage. The buds are apricot, opening creamy-yellow, then quickly turning white. The effect in the mass is of white, dotted with soft yellow. The petals are narrow at the base, broadening towards the outer edges, rather like a wedge. Exceptionally fragrant. Fine, glossy foliage. Very vigorous. 30 ft." from David Austin Rose Nursery Limited.

"I want to plant some roses to cover a wooden fence - which ones shall I choose? Rambling roses are your best option because these healthy roses tend to produce vigorous new growth from the base, so their stems can be fanned out to cover an entire fence. You will need to set up a line of horizontal supports to tie them to, and I recommend a self-tensioning system called Gripple (www.gripplegarden.com). This pliable nylon wire comes with tensioners and is much easier to keep taut than galvanized wire. Admittedly most ramblers only flower once in late-May and June. However, they do it much more generously than repeat-flowering roses. They drip with bunches of smaller flowers and the trick is to extend the season with a ‘viticella’ clematis like ‘Etoile Violette’. These happily scramble through, following on from the roses. It isn’t worth deadheading and ornamental hips can appear. Pruning is simple too. Once established, cut away some of the darker, older stems at the base in October. Then train the newer, greener growth in when still pliable. Good ramblers for a fence include the apricot ‘Goldfinch’, the virginal ‘Sander’s White and the repeat-flowering, peach-pink ‘Open Arms’. Ramblers tend to be simply bred from species roses and this makes them healthy and disease-free. They rarely succumb to Black Spot and they are tough and able to survive planted with shrubs, or near a fence. Most will also tolerate poorer soil. However, vigour and thorniness vary greatly so please take expert advice from your rose nursery before ordering your roses. Some ramblers will clothe a large tree, but would be far too strong for a fence for instance. Moderately vigorous for fence, arch or pergola ‘Debutante’ Glossy foliage and neatly double, clear-pink flowers that fade to paler pink. My favourite pink rambler and it’s very pliable and amenable to handle. ‘Félicité Perpétue’ This blush-pink rose must not be pruned hard. Milk-white flowers emerge from pink buds so this rose shares the same pretty-pink and white colouring of a lawn daisy. Primrose-fragranced and keeps its leaves in warm winters. ‘Goldfinch’ A thornless rose with neat glossy leaves, so gardener-friendly, with small clusters of apricot to egg-yolk yellow flowers that fade as they mature. Read more about 'Goldfinch'. ‘Sander’s White Rambler’ Essential because it’s the last rambler to flower so extends the once-and-only rose season into July. The rich-green leaves frame fruitily-fragrant white flowers. It has a gentle growth habit and flowers well, even in shade. ‘Veilchenblau’ Almost thornless with crimson-tinted flowers that fade to violet-blue, so this is stunning against paler surfaces. Best grown in dappled shade as it fades a lot in full sun. ‘Blue Magenta’ is a stronger purple and more vigorous. ‘Albéric Barbier’ A yellow rose that fades to cream, producing three-inch wide blooms and glossy evergreen foliage. Can produce a second crop of flowers, but loves warmth. ‘Excelsa’ Produces dark, pink to crimson-red clusters of tight pom pom flowers so this vivid rambler stands out. Useful and strong in habit, yet dainty in flower. Vigorous scramblers for established trees ‘Paul’s Himalayan Musk’ A pretty rose with dainty sprays of pale-pink, frilled petals set round golden stamens. Capable of cascading downwards for 30ft (10m), yet often slow to get going. It’s strong, but not smothering, and can grow in some shade or face north. Rosa filipes ‘Kiftsgate’ This very rampant white rambler needs a huge space and grows very aggressively. In the Gloucestershire garden of the same name it has scaled and killed six beech trees, so this is not for a fence or house unless you have Sleeping Beauty tendencies. There are lots of hips though, and it makes a good rose for a wilder situation. ‘Bobbie James’ Another giant rambler, not as strong as ‘Kiftsgate’ though, with creamy white, semi-double flowers followed by masses of orange hips. Very good at covering unsightly buildings, or scrambling up large trees. ‘Wedding Day’ This is vigorous and upright in habit with clusters of single, lemon-white flowers that often age to pink. Its fruity fragrance makes it is well worth growing. Survives on a north wall too. If the pink tinge offends you go for ‘Rambling Rector’, or its lookalike ‘Seagull’. Bare-root or container-grown? Roses grown in containers can be planted from May until September, but they do need nurturing until autumn because their roots are often restricted by the pot. If you can wait, the best way to establish new roses is to order bare-root plants now. They are cheaper to buy, the range of varieties is greater and the roots of field-grown roses are healthy and strong Bare-root roses will arrive between November and the end of March - while still dormant. They should be planted as quickly as possible. However if the weather is severe you may have to store them somewhere cool and damp until conditions improve. Always open the packet and water the roots, before storing. Then soak the bushes for twelve hours just before planting. Avoid planting new roses where roses have already grown. If it’s unavoidable dig out at least two feet square of soil and replace with fresh soil, or John Innes no 3.
Five good clematis to use as partners ‘Etoile Violette’ The best viticella of all, with gappy purple petals surrounding a yellow boss of stamens. ‘Royal Velours’ Rounded single flowers with velvet-textured, deep-red flowers. ‘Purpurea Plena Elegans’ A dusky damson-plum double which flowers through July and August. ‘Prince Charles’ An open azure-blue flower that looks almost silver-blue in full sun. ‘Mary Rose’ A navy-blue double, similar in from to Purpurea Plena Elegans’, with lots of flower." from How to grow rambling roses - By Val Bourne , Monday 23 April 2012. |

"Pruning roses - the sissinghurst method Pruning roses the Sissinghurst way helps create those wonderful fountains of roses you see in summer gardens - delicious-smelling, out-of-control geysers of flowers that effuse all over the garden. Pruning roses like this means you don't get those boring little twiggy bushes, all leg and no body, surrounded by bare ground. The Sissinghurst rose pruning technique originated at Cliveden with the Astors' head gardener Jack Vass, who moved to Sissinghurst in 1939. Vita Sackville-West loved her roses, particularly the dark, rich Gallicas such as 'Charles de Mills', 'Tuscany Superb' and 'Cardinal de Richelieu', but it was Jack Vass who started to grow them in this exceptional way, and roses have been pruned and trained like this at Sissinghurst ever since. Other National Trust properties send their gardeners here to learn this ingenious technique. The rose pruning philosophy can be summed up as "treat them mean, keep them keen". If you put every stem of a rose plant under pressure, bending and stressing it, the rose will flower more prolifically. The plant's biochemistry tells the bush it's on the way out and so needs to make as many flowers as possible. THE SISSINGHURST ROSE PRUNING TECHNIQUE Climbers and ramblers The rose pruning season at Sissinghurst starts in November with the climbers and ramblers that cover almost every one of the terracotta brick walls. First, the gardeners cut off most of that year's growth. This keeps the framework of the rose clear and prevents the plant from becoming too woody. Next, large woody stems are taken out - almost to the base - to encourage new shoots. These will flower the following year. The remaining branches are re-attached to the wall, stem by stem, starting from the middle of the plant, working outwards, with the pruned tip of each branch bent down and attached to the one below. Climbers such as 'Paul's Lemon Pillar' are a bit more reluctant than ramblers like 'Albertine' and the famous Rosa mulliganii on the frame in the centre of the White Garden, which are very bendy and easy to train. Shrub roses Once the wall roses are done, it's the turn of the border shrubs. They should be pruned before they come into leaf to prevent leaf buds and shoots from being damaged as their stems are manipulated. Depending on their habit, shrub roses are trained in one of three ways. The tall, rangy bushes with stiffer branches (such as 'Charles de Mills', 'Ispahan', 'Gloire de France', 'Cardinal de Richelieu' and 'Camayeux') are twirled up a frame of four chestnut or hazel poles. Every pruned tip is bent and attached to a length below. The big leggy shrubs, which put out great, pliable, triffid arms that are easy to tie down and train, are bent on to hazel hoops arranged around the skirts of the plant. Roses with this lax habit include 'Constance Spry', 'Fantin-Latour', 'Zéphirine Drouhin', 'Madame Isaac Pereire', 'Coupe d'Hébé', 'Henri Martin' and 'Souvenir du Dr Jamain'. All the old and diseased wood is removed and then, stem by stem, last year's wood is bent over and tied onto the hazel hoop. You start at the outside of the plant and tie that in first and then move towards the middle, using the plant's own branches to build up the web and - in the case of 'Constance Spry' and 'Henri Martin' - create a fantastic height, one layer domed and attached to the one below. Without any sign of a flower, this looks magnificent as soon as it's complete, and in a couple of months, each stem, curved almost to ground level, will flower abundantly. That leaves just the contained, well behaved, less prolific varieties ('Petite de Hollande', 'Madame Knorr', 'Chapeau de Napoléon', ( syn. Rosa x centifolia 'Cristata') and those that produce branches too stiff to bend ('Felicia' and the newish David Austin rose, 'William Shakespeare 2000'). These are pruned hard, then each bush is attached to a single stake, cut to about the height of the pruned bush and attached by twine. Without the stake, even these will topple under the weight of their summer growth. For those who live in the North, where some roses are yet to leaf, you could get bending now. If your roses are already too advanced for this year, come and see how it's all done at Sissinghurst." from Sarah Raven. |

"The 5 P’s For Easy Rose Growing 1. Planning 2. Preparation 3. Planting 4. Pruning 5. Preservation Planning Try to plan well in advance of purchasing your roses. Roses come in a multitude of sizes, habits and colours. They prefer a sunny position and a neutral or slightly acidic well drained soil. Certain roses will tolerate differing degrees of shade and some will thrive in poor soils. Do your homework. Preparation The area to be planted should be free of weeds and deeply dug with the addition of plenty of organic matter such as well rotted farmyard manure or garden compost plus bonemeal. Soil that has previously grown roses should be removed to a depth of 45cms and replaced with fresh soil from elsewhere. This should be completed well before planting to allow the soil to settle. Planting Bare root roses can be planted from November until March provided the soil is workable. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots. Mix a handful of bonemeal with the excavated soil. Spread the roots out in the hole and gradually replace the soil firming well so the union (where the shoots meet the roots) is 2-3 cms. below the soil, water well. If conditions are very wet or frosty when your roses arrive they can be kept unopened in their packaging for a week or more and planted as soon as things improve. Pruning This is a way to maintain a healthy, productive and well balanced plant. Different types of roses require different strategies so see the group headings on the website for more detailed pruning guides. Always use sharp secateurs or loppers and try to prune just above an outward facing bud (where the leaf stalk meets the stem) with a cut sloping down away from the bud. Remove any dead, damaged or diseased wood before pruning. Preservation Roses can be long lived plants provided they are properly maintained. They require plenty of moisture and nutrients to stay healthy and flourish. In dry spells water well, especially in the first few years after planting. The application of a deep mulch in the spring will help to retain water. Feed twice a year on heavy soils (March and June) and more regularly on lighter soils with a good rose fertilizer or fish blood and bone. Pests and diseases are best controlled with good husbandry. There are some good organic products on the market now that can be used to help maintain your plants health. Any suckers (shoots growing from the rootstock) should be pulled off (not cut) as soon as possible." from Trevor White Old Fashioned Roses. |
