Getting a rose to climb into a tree
How does one do it? I've heard that it helps to have the
prevailing wind tending to push the rose into the tree's branches, but that means planting the rose to the west of the tree: little morning sun. Putting the rose to the south (southwest?), at least in the Northern Hemisphere where I live, would ensure full sun, and one would want a vigorous climber of course (my try: New Dawn to the west of a loblolly pine, with disappointing results after two years, being poor growth and no blooms). Any experiences or suggestions? Evergreens or deciduous trees, temporary supports to get the rose nearer the tree's branches? I don't think that I have any live oaks with a clear southern exposure, at least not on the side of my property where I live: maybe there are some 1000 feet away where the deer are even more plentiful than near my trailer. Mark., I suppose I could cover the roof of my trailer with a trellis, and get a couple of Lady Banks' or Bobbie James |
