large-flowered climbing rose

Large-flowered climbing roses such as ‘Meiroupis’ Colette need to be watered twice weekly, once in the morning and again in the evening. During the summer months, when it is particularly hot and dry, you may need to water more frequently in order to keep the soil moist. If needed, you can also provide your plant with some extra moisture through misting it with water. Make sure that the soil is moist but not soggy. Too much water can negatively affect the plant’s growth and development.

Large-flowered climbing rose (Rosa 'Meiroupis' COLETTE) prefers full sun or partial shade. This plant should be situated in a location that is well-lit and receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. During the peak of summer, it should receive 8-10 hours of sunlight per day, but can tolerate a little less during the cooler months. If the plant is situated in an area that is too shady, the buds and flowers may fail to open, resulting in an unsatisfying blooming display.

Pruning is an important step in maintaining the health and beauty of large-flowered climbing roses and should be done twice a year for this particular species. In early spring, as soon as the danger of frost has passed, prune off any dead, diseased or broken wood and thin out any overly dense growth. After flowering has finished, prune off any dead flowers and reduce long or leggy shoots by pruning back to a leaf bud. After flowers have finished blooming, cut back the new shoots to 2 or 3 leaf buds. This will encourage more branching and help maintain the bushiness of the plant. You should also remove any weak or damaged stems and cuts should be made just above a bud, facing away from it. Regular pruning will help keep your large-flowered climbing rose healthy and will also ensure that you get a full season of beautiful blooms.
