The rosebush I received seems healthy (failed to take with the bare root version...). Planted under Prunus laurocerasus Caucasica, I am now patiently waiting for it to take root... (or not?).

Description

The 'Wilderode' Rosebush is a particularly vigorous climbing rosebush that also stands out for its rich, massive red flowering in late spring. It has long flexible stems, very dense foliage that is attractive and exuberant vegetation. Between May and June, the plant is covered with large clusters of semi-double flowers that can be seen from afar. This splendid variety is perfect for dressing up a pergola, a wall, a fence, or climbing trees.

The large 'Wilderode' rosebush is a creation of Lens Roses dating back to 2009. The plant can easily reach 7 to 8 m (26ft) in height with a spread of 2 to 3 m (7 to 10ft). Regular pruning can keep it as a large bush of 3 m (10ft) in height. Its long stems are flexible, thorny, and covered with very dense and healthy foliage, a bright medium green color with a slight gloss. The flowers of this variety form abundantly in May-June. Gathered in beautiful clusters, they emerge on short shoots from the 2nd year, as intense red buds. Then, they open up into small semi-double rosettes with a clear bicolour of 4 cm (2in) in diameter. Their edges transition from red to pink-red as the hours go by, around a white center. They emit a light fragrance and their cluster of stamens is highly visited by bees.

'Wilderode' combines the strength of wild liana roses and a rare red flowering in roses of this type, which are often white. It fits perfectly in a romantic, English-style garden or one that is slightly wild. Like other large climbing roses, it is incomparable for adorning walls, fences, pergolas, and other arbours. Its dense habit also allows it to be used in a flowering hedge where it can lean on its long stems. To accompany it, consider, for example, a vigorous clematis of the terniflora type or belonging to the 'montana' group. It is an ideal companion for small trees that it will revive, or cabins that it will give a charming touch to.

Planting and care

The Wilderode rose is a versatile plant that can thrive in various types of soil, including heavy or sandy soils, provided it is planted carefully and receives adequate water and nutrients. For optimal growth, plant it in well-drained soil that has been worked thoroughly, and choose a location that receives plenty of sunlight or partial shade. The best time to plant this rose is in early spring or autumn, but avoid planting it during freezing temperatures.

 

To prune the Wilderode rose, you should maintain the main branches to preserve its structure and remove only the lateral branches by cutting them 3 to 5 cm (1 to 2 inches) from the main branches. This type of pruning is beneficial for the plant as it rejuvenates it and encourages flower production at the base of the plant. This rose is relatively hardy and can withstand temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F). If you want to prevent fruit formation, it's advisable to remove faded flowers and dead wood during winter. You can also do a light pruning in spring after the risk of frost has passed. If you have enough space, you can let climbing roses grow freely.

 

If you plant a climbing rose next to a live tree, keep in mind that the rose's root system will compete with that of the established tree. To control watering, you can plant the rose in a large container with a perforated bottom at the base of the tree. This will prevent the tree roots from penetrating the container for at least a year. After a year, you can remove the container by cutting one side without disturbing the rose's root system. By then, the rose will have developed a strong root system and will be more resilient.

 

Towards the end of summer, roses may develop unsightly stains, but this is a natural phenomenon that does not harm the plant's development.
