Appropriately named for their tall, climbing habit, climbing roses are best grown with support from a trellis, arbor, fence, or other structure where they can be trained vertically or horizontally. Garden Sun™ is one of the best climbers due to its disease resistance and winter hardiness. It is also one of the most prolific bloomers with pink-to-yellow flowers that hold up well in heat as well as a vase. Perfect in sunny rose, cutting, and cottage gardens. Plant in well-drained, amended soil at least 4-5' apart. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water once a week the first year. Prune lightly in spring when new growth appears, removing dry or winter damaged areas. Feed at least three times (full leaf, after first bloom, and in August) during the growing season with a slow release fertilizer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2" to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature. Spray with Wilt-stop to protect from winter desiccation and mulch the base 4-6" in late November to protect the graft/bud union.
