    hello rose experts
    I have some doubts regarding a climbing rose...I have just planted the rose on the ground, but I haven't decided yet about an adequate support. Is it possible to have it temporarily clinging on something bendable and then move it to a permanent structure? What support would you suggest and how long time at the most can I leave the rose there?

      Hi Java, that is somewhat of a loaded question!! It depends on how big the rose will get, how flilmsy is the temporary support, and are you talking about moving the rose to a more adequate support or putting in the support where the rose already is.:scratch::heehee:

      Hi Armandii - the rose will not be moved from where it is and I am really looking mostly for ideas on what to let it cling on while I decide on a more permanent structure. PS I don't know what type it is but doesn't look too big.

      Hi Java,
      I'm sorry, I don't know where you are but if you're UK or similar can you just push some canes into the ground and tie it to them just to support it from wind rock etc, as it will soon be going into dormancy. Then, over the Winter you can look to putting a more permanent structure in.

        Anthony's right, Java, canes will do fine. You can also tie string across the canes to splay the stems out and stable by tying them to the canes.:coffee::snork:

          Yep it won't grow much over winter. Mine are already slowing down. Just make sure the support is sturdy enough. U Can make some quite sturdy designs out of canes and some string.

            Good afternoon @Java&Me you can grow any Rose in a right sized container,you are in control of how high your Rose will grow and in what direction you want it to grow,there is an old saying amongst Rosarians (rules are meant to guide you not bind you);):smile:

            ps.you can leave your Rose in a temporary position until February in my opinion ;)
