Support Structures for Climbing Roses
When growing climbing roses or participating in rose gardening for any climbing plant, it is best to install support structures prior to planting your flowers. Rose gardening in general entails knowing a bit about your type of roses, so it is best to research growing climbing roses prior to planting them. There are certain types that require more or less sun, more or less space between the plants as well as specific growth patterns. Therefore the type you decide on will have a major effect on growing climbing roses.
The most common support structures for growing climbing roses include trellises, fences and arbors. You should install the supporting structure prior to growing, however if you are unable, simply install nearest the plant as possible without damaging the root system. Based on your type of growing climbing roses, you may want to weave or tie your roses to the structure. Growing climbing roses can reach lengths of 12 feet, therefore it is important that you do not underestimate the space your growing climbing roses will need. If you have a variety that requires an area of up to 12 feet, a trellis may be ideal for you should you have the space to accommodate. Secure the trellis properly based on instructions for assembly and any tools or additional parts that are required. Some people buy wood trellises for their more hardy roses, while others use thin metal trellises for those that do not flower as much. A trellis is best used for those growing climbing roses that produce ample blooms. These are ideal for those longer growing climbing roses, as they will become heavy and will require a more sturdy supporting structure.
For those growing climbing roses that are of the shorter variety, simple fencing around the area will provide the support required. Fencing that is simply laid against a building or other fenced area is ample, but should be long enough that the variety of growing climbing roses you chose will be able to grow onto the fence without doubling over on itself. Fencing that is made of a non-rusting material such as untreated wood or resin covered metal is most common for gardens. Plastic fencing is available and is recommended most for lighter roses, however if your climbing roses will be of a heavy variety, it is not recommended that a plastic be used unless it is securely placed and held to another stronger structure.
It is recommended by professionals that your supporting structure be out of the way of prevailing winds. Even when secured properly, wind damage can occur to your roses while on a structure. The structure regardless of material can have damage done in high winds in some parts of the country, and can tear away and do damage to the roses when the structure breaks or is pulled away from the secured fastenings.

Climbing Roses?
I want to plant some climbing roses in the front on my flats. But I dont’ know what type.
The soil is only 15cm’s deep and about 60cm’s wide. Can anyone help suggest the best climbing roses and the best way to plant them and care for them. Also, are there any that are fast growing.
Thank you
the roots of a climbing rose go deep in order to maintain stability in winds. Rose roots can soon grow to be 18 inches or more (45cm). If you do decide on a container then make it a big one (60cm x 60cm) and keep it well watered. Perhaps another plant would be better.
