New shoots that are allowed or forced to grow straight up produce a chemical inhibitor which prevents their buds from breaking into flowering shoots. To avoid this potential pitfall, climbing rose bushes on walls and fences should be trained and secured in a fan shape.Avoid hot surfacesAvoid attaching a climber to a highly reflective surface or any surface that by its nature or location will become wickedly hot when the sun is out.Make sure you are getting a climber and not a RamblerGarden plans only work when you use roses that fit the design.Remember, climbers are generally around 10 feet tall and bloom year round. Ramblers bloom one time per year and are generally MUCH larger than their climbing relatives (think of the roses that grow over trees). Nevertheless, some nurseries clump climbing roses with Ramblers and under these circumstances you could easily walk away with a Rambler. Ouch!
