Climbing Rose Santana - How to cut the perennial flowering properly
With its very branched growth and beautiful, rich red flowers, the Santana, one of the most abundant climbing rose species, is one of the most beautiful roses ever. Also, it is considered robust and quite insensitive to various diseases - so perfect to use them to set colorful accents in the garden. However, Santana should be regularly cut back for the longest possible flowering of flowers.
Intense flowering from June to October
The climbing rose Santana stands out: between June and October, this representative of the rose family shows its bright red, heavily-filled flowers, which are in great abundance on the long shoots. Like all the more frequently flowering varieties, this also develops its flowers on the two-year shoots, which is why a vigorous pruning should be avoided as far as possible. However, it is not possible to cut it at all, because lack of care leads to aging of the rose bush and thus to the shedding - as a result, the flowering becomes less and less and finally it is completely over.
Cut back the spring flowering climbing rose Santana in spring
The right time for pruning often flowering rose varieties is the late winter or early spring, if the plant has not expelled yet. The right time (preferably between mid-January and late March) for such an action is indicated by the thickening of the buds - if this is the case, you should reach for the scissors. A later pruning is to be avoided on the other hand, since the plant would otherwise be shocked and the further expulsion could be omitted. The pruning follows this pattern:
In addition, you should regularly remove blooms to encourage the climbing rose Santana to develop new flowers.
Pruning in youth provides for strong branching
The shoots of freshly planted or younger climbing roses of the variety Santana should also be cut every year except for two to three eyes, to encourage the branching. This variety branches, in contrast to other climbing roses, even in the lower area very well and forms with a corresponding cut care in adolescence from a very dense vegetation.
Tips
The climbing rose Santana is particularly suitable for greening of house walls, garden fences and scaffolding. It harmonizes especially in combination with yellow or white clematis (Clematis).
