The Arborose® Florentina™ Climbing Rose is a wonderful plant that will easily become a focal point in a landscape. The lush, bright red roses feature rows of petals, creating a full bloom. The vivid flowers are quartered, meaning they bloom in clusters. Each flower is striking on its own but looks even more lovely in a group. This cold-hardy rose bush is a climber, so give it a trellis or a fence, and it will engulf the structure with time. Flowers continue to bloom throughout the growing season for a stunning and long-lasting display.

Ovate leaves are a dark, glossy green and feature serrated edges. The dense foliage creates a very full shrub. The compact size of the Arborose® Florentina™ Climbing Rose makes it a good fit for a patio or an area with limited space. This shrub is disease resistant and grows as a perennial in zones 5 through 9.

Arborose® Florentina™ Climbing Rose Care

Plant the Arborose® Florentina™ Climbing Rose in full sun. It prefers rich, loamy, well-drained soil. Give the Arborose® Florentina™ Climbing Rose about one inch of water per week. Use a fertilizer formulated for roses or plant food with a ratio of 4-6-4. Feed climbing roses every 2 to 4 weeks.

Remove dead or damaged growth as needed. Prune climbing roses in the late fall or early spring. Remove crossing canes and thin out old growth. Letting this climber overtake a trellis as quickly as possible is tempting, but routinely cutting back growth will keep it full and dense. Remove up to one-third of the growth at a time. In cold climates, gently remove the canes from their support at the end of the growing season, lay them on the ground, and cover them with mulch.

Arborose® Florentina™ Climbing Rose Spacing

The Arborose® Florentina™ Climbing Rose can grow 7 feet tall and 3 feet wide. Use a trellis or support that can accommodate the height. Plant shrubs 3 feet apart and train the canes to avoid crossing. Spacing the shrubs adequately will let air circulate around the foliage and prevent competition between plants.
