A collection of dual-flowered climbing roses to amaze your friends and family. With two coloured blooms on each plant (red and yellow on one and violet and white on the other), together they make an eye-catching combination in your summer garden. Both varieties are vigorous and will bloom reliably to give you a show which none of your neighbours will have.
Spanish Flag:
‘Flammentanz’ is a vigorous climber and considered one of the finest bright red roses with a light fragrance.
'Golden Showers' is a classic yellow climber - vigorous and reliable and flowers all summer and into autumn.
Mystery Wonder:
'Indigoletta' opens deep-purple and gradually lightens in shade as they age meaning each and every flower is completely different in colour, creating a real rainbow of shades.
'Climbing Snow' is a climbing rose that’s smothered with bright white flowers from early summer to late autumn.
Supplied as a pair of grafted bare root plants with two colours, red and yellow and violet and white.
To prune, just remove any dead, dying, damaged and diseased stems and also deadhead regularly.
Traditionally, you would cut just above a leaf joint with a sloping cut away from the bud, however, this isn't necessary, and don’t worry about pruning too much - roses are very resilient and will grow back.
When pruning, make sure that your secateurs are clean and sharp to prevent squashing stems and introducing disease.Add mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help the plant establish quicker.
Roses can be planted at any time of the year, as long as the soil is not frozen, waterlogged or drought-dry. Plant your rose where it can get plenty of sun for at least half of the day, and where it will be sheltered from the wind.
Roses tolerate wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, so add plenty of well-rotted manure into the hole if necessary and plant so that the graft union (the swollen area when the stems meet the roots) is around 3cm below soil level. Water well every other day - daily if the weather is hot and dry.
Established roses can be watered around once a week through spring and summer - more if the weather is hot.
For best results, feed roses in in late-March/April and again late July.
