Climbing Roses

Roses that make long branches are often used as climbing roses.

If they produce large flowers the branches are usually thicker, and these climbers are often suitable for walls or larger structures.

Smaller flowers allow for thinner branches which are often more pliable and rambling.

When choosing a climbing rose consider its end use - choosing the right habit makes life a lot easier.
