Description
Climbing roses draping from an archway or pergola is a stunning sight and one that can be enjoyed throughout the summer. 'Zephirine Drouhin' is a fabulous climber, filling the garden with a beautiful fragrance and masses of bright pink blooms that look incredible when clambering up fences and walls. 'Zephirine Drouhin' flowers from May to October, producing a profusion of large, cerise-pink semi-double roses, each with a lovely sweet and fruity perfume. Supplied as a freshly potted, established plant in a 3L pot, ready to plant out. Please note at certain times of the year this variety may be supplied in a 4L pot.
Top Tips
  • Climbing roses need plenty of support and must be tied as near horizontal as possible on to wires, trellis or similar.
  • Newly planted climbing roses need little initial pruning. Thereafter prune in October or November.
  • The roses can be kept in their pots throughout the winter provided they are kept well fed and watered, however ideally, they should be planted out as soon as possible. Because plants are dormant throughout the winter, they do not produce any new roots until spring, so don't be alarmed if the compost falls away from the roots when you take them out of their pots.
  • They will already have been cut back so no further pruning will be required, apart from removing any tips that have died back.
Care Information
  • To prune, just remove any dead, dying, damaged and diseased stems and also deadhead regularly. Traditionally, you would cut just above a leaf joint with a sloping cut away from the bud, however, this isn't necessary, and don’t worry about pruning too much - roses are very resilient and will grow back.
  • When pruning, make sure that your secateurs are clean and sharp to prevent squashing stems and introducing disease.
  • Add mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help the plant establish quicker.
  • Roses can be planted at any time of the year, as long as the soil is not frozen, waterlogged or drought-dry.
  • Plant your rose where it can get plenty of sun for at least half of the day, and where it will be sheltered from the wind.
  • Roses tolerate wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, so add plenty of well-rotted manure into the hole if necessary and plant so that the graft union (the swollen area when the stems meet the roots) is around 3cm below soil level.
  • Water well every other day - daily if the weather is hot and dry.
  • Established roses can be watered around once a week through spring and summer - more if the weather is hot.
  • For best results, feed roses in late-March/April and again in late July.
