Do you go to the nursery store or look at those rose
catalogs and said to yourself that I have to have that one rose or maybe two or
three? Then you go outside and see that
your garden is already full. What do you
do? When you run out of space in your
yard, what do you do next? Think of
vertical rose gardening. Vertical rose gardening
let you utilize a minimum space with a maximum impact. You grow plant vertically to maximize small
garden area. You accomplish this by
using arbor, trellis, pergolas, floral arches, obelisks, fence, metal cages,
bamboo poles, stakes, post, trees and even walls of your home.
An arbor with climbing roses says welcome to your garden
and provides a frame of what is inside your garden. A trellis is one of the old time structures
for a climbing rose. An arbor or a
trellis does not have to be an expensive item.
If you are creative, you can make a whimsical object or something you
make from twigs around the yard. A patio
umbrella that lost its canvas cover can be a good structure to train a
rambler. A white picket fence can serve
as an anchor for a rambler.
Jeanne Lajoie is a good climber and can be trained to
climb on a post and up to the roof of your garage. Another good one is Gertrude Jekyll. Since the branches are too weak and tend to
flap, I have seen one where it is trained to climb a metal obelisk. You can also put your minis in pots and place
them in a metal shelving against a wall.
I have seen a metal panel that holds pots hangers. You can use that too for minis. You may even try putting the ground cover
roses in hanging baskets. They looked
great with the stems and blooms cascading down.
Gourmet Popcorn is a good candidate for this one. Red Cascade is another good rose for hanging
basket. Use your imagination and you can
grow as many roses as your heart desires.
