Plant Care & Growing Tips

To ensure your burlesque climbing rose live plant thrives and produces its stunning purple-red flowers, proper care is essential. This rose prefers a location with at least 6 hours of full sun exposure daily. Good air circulation is also important to prevent fungal diseases. When planting, choose a spot with well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Amend heavy clay soils with compost and sand, or sandy soils with compost to improve structure and fertility. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep, ensuring the graft union (the swollen part where the stem meets the roots) is just above or at ground level.

Watering should be consistent, especially during dry spells and in its first year of establishment. Aim for deep watering 2-3 times a week, allowing the top few inches of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid overhead watering to minimize leaf diseases; instead, water at the base of the plant. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced rose fertilizer, and again after the first flush of blooms. Pruning is crucial for a healthy and floriferous climbing rose care routine. In late winter or early spring, remove dead, damaged, or crossing canes. Tie healthy canes to your support structure, guiding them horizontally to encourage more lateral growth and, consequently, more blooms. Deadhead spent flowers during the growing season to encourage new flushes of blooms. This hardy climbing rose is generally resilient but keep an eye out for common rose pests like aphids and diseases like black spot, treating promptly if they appear.
