climbing roses wedding arch in australia
in three months there will be a wedding in my garden. i'd like to have a
floral arch of some sort, and someone has suggested a climbing rose, as it grows fast and flowers all through summer/early autumn. does anyone have any advice regarding this idea? i'd love to make a real arch rather than a fake one, so i'm considering buying climbing roses now and hoping they'll grow around an arch if i provide one! am i dreaming, or is this a possibility? thank you, rose people |

Even a fast growing climing rose is unlikely to make much growth in it's
first year in the ground. I put in a couple of climbers this year, in the last 3 months I have had about a metre of growth. I think you need to consider other options.

The original poster would be better off to research fast climbing annual vines (not roses). Even a fast climbing rambler (basically a miniature rose with long canes) will take a year or more to really get going. With a climbing rose, figure at least three years for it to make an impact, and even then it won't (in most cases) have reached full height. The reason I mentioned *annual* vines is that annuals, by their nature, are fast growing since it all has to get done in one season. Roses are perennials. Gail near San Antonio TX USA |
