large-flowered climbing rose

Large-flowered climbing rose (Rosa 'Wekroalt' FOURTH OF JULY) should be watered once per week when in full bloom, and every 2 weeks when not in bloom. The plant should be watered deeply so that the entire root system is saturated, and then allowed to dry out between watering. During the warmer months, watering should be done in the morning. In the cooler months, it’s best to water in the evenings when temperatures are cooler and the water will have time to soak in before nightfall. Be careful not to over-water the plant since this can lead to issues with root-rot and fungal diseases.

Large-flowered climbing rose (Rosa 'Wekroalt' FOURTH OF JULY) is a climbing shrub that grows best with 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day. It can tolerate partial shade, but will produce the best and most flowers in direct sunlight. For optimum growth and flowering, provide your large-flowered climbing rose with at least 6 hours of direct morning light but make sure its location is shaded from the intense light of the afternoon. This allows the foliage and blooms to stay vibrant and healthy without scorching in the heat of the day.

Prune the large-flowered climbing rose (Rosa 'Wekroalt' FOURTH OF JULY) in late winter or early spring, before or shortly after new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged and overcrowded canes and thin out canes to promote air movement. Prune old canes at their base to create space for new growth and to reduce the load on older, weaker canes. Trim long laterals to encourage outward growth. Pruning should be done lightly and is best done in stages over 2 or 3 years. Prune to any desired shape but leave some old wood for future flowering. Keep climbing roses lightly pruned to no more than 6 ft high and 5 ft wide.
