James Galway English Climbing Rose Care
James Galway English Climbing Rose performs best in a spot that receives partial to full sun, with 4 hours or more of daily sunlight. James Galway English Climbing Rose thrives in soil well amended in organic matter; rich soil with plenty of garden compost mixed in will help feed your plants. The ideal soil pH for roses is 6.5, on the acidic side. Water newly planted roses every few days, and water established roses once a week or as needed during the hot summer months to keep the soil moist but not soggy.
Prune your James Galway English Climbing Rose in early spring, when you see new growth beginning. The purpose of pruning is to create a shapely, attractive plant. Select strong growing stems at the base of the plant and train them to fan outward to encourage a full look. If you notice stems that are not healthy looking, remove those at this time. Carefully dispose of trimmed foliage; do not compost.
James Galway English Climbing Rose Spacing
Space James Galway English Climbing Rose 1 ft away from solid structures, so ample air circulation and sunlight reach the rose. Due to its climbing habit, this rose will need a structure to climb on; train young, growing branches on the structure with loosely fitted garden twine, particularly when weaving through decorative structures such as lattices, obelisks, or garden arch structures.
