Climbing roses have enjoyed great popularity over the past decades as newer more compact varieties have emerged. There are many styles and sizes. In fact, careful consideration should be given to the choice of climbing roses, to ensure that the right size is being chosen for the right location. For example, archways and posts need small pillar climbers not ramblers. Small flowers do not automatically mean a small framework.

NB: If a climbing rose has sported from a bush, then it is named with the ‘climbing’ prefix. e.g. Climbing Iceberg. A climber that does not carry the ‘climbing’ prefix means that it is a natural climber.
