Do climbing roses spread?
Climbing roses can form a vibrant landscape background for perennials and annuals in borders. They are also a beautiful choice for arbors, trellises, fences, and pergolas.
Are rose bush roots invasive or not?
Rose bush roots are commonly referred to as non-invasive. Rose bushes are not known to displace foundations or water pipes.

Do Climbing Roses Bloom in the First Year?
After their initial blooming, they can continue to produce flowers throughout the season, often with a repeat bloom in late summer or fall, depending on the variety.
Planting Method
Watering:
- Keep the soil moist, spray or lightly water daily during germination, and avoid waterlogged conditions.
- After germination, water 2-3 times a week, adjusting the frequency based on weather conditions.
Fertilizing:
- Apply diluted liquid fertilizer 4-6 weeks after planting, once a month.
- During the flowering period, fertilize every two weeks to promote flower growth.
Points to Note
- Sunlight: Ensure at least 6 hours of sunlight daily.
- Drainage: Avoid water accumulation; choose well-draining soil.
- Support: Use supports to aid climbing growth.
- Pruning: Regularly prune to remove dead branches and encourage healthy growth.
- Inspection: Check plants regularly and address any pests or diseases promptly.
How Many Seeds Do I Need?
Measure Your Space:
Squares/Rectangles: Measure length and width.
Circles: Measure the widest part and divide by 2 to get the radius.
Calculate Square Feet:
Squares/Rectangles: Length (ft) x Width (ft) = Square Feet
Example: 50 ft x 30 ft = 1500 sq. ft.
Circles: Radius (ft) x Radius x 3.14 = Square Feet
Example: Radius of 10 ft = 10 x 10 x 3.14 = 314 sq. ft.
Determine Seed Amount:
For climbing rose seeds: Approximately 5-10 grams per square meter (about 0.5-1 ounce per 10 sq. ft.). Adjust based on desired density.
Tips for larger plantings: If you have a large site, 1/2 acre to several acres, your planting rate may be affected by ground conditions. If you have a lot of weeds on the site now, some erosion, generally poor soil, or other soil problems, additional seed is often the most economical solution, since installing a large planting usually costs more than the seed itself. If your site has these problems and you want thorough coverage, use 1 pound per 1,000 square feet.
