The vision I’ve had in my head is finally starting to become reality! I knew this arch would be the perfect entryway for my garden and that a climbing rose would be stunning growing up it.
This is my first attempt with climbing roses, so please leave all your tips below!

Thanks for sharing! Trying my first climber this year too. Love the cardinal appearance at 1:20❤️
Please a morning glory video soon, and a shout out
Good luck- it should be beautiful!
I’m planting golden opportunity climbing roses for the first time this week too. Best of luck with your roses!
Nice of the neighborhood cardinal to make an appearance!
That will look so nice when it's blooming 🥀🌹🥀
So exciting! I’ve been wanting climbing roses but can’t decide exactly which ones I want yet. Can’t wait to see your roses grow!! It will add so much beauty to your garden.
It’s going to be beautiful. They can go grow wild. Just prune regularly.
Tips on the stuck liners: if they don’t have holes in the bottom, go ahead and drill one in since you will want them for planters later. Also, forcing air between them with a ball pump or air can will work too 🙂 I am also planting a climbing rose in a container this year to climb on an arbour. Best of luck to all our roses this year! May winter spare them.
What variety of fig tree and peach tree do you have
Oh my gosh, the cardinal! We don't have them around us, so beautiful! I think the biggest tip i didn't know about climbing roses was trying to train them with horizontal canes, so kind of serpentine it up the trellis. The shoots that come off horizontal canes have the blooms. 🙂
The cardinal! ❤
You will love the Eden climbers. I have two pink in an arch trellis (also in pots).
Execelente aporte
Japanese beetles LOVE the light pink roses! Good luck!
If the flange of the top container will catch on that stone ledge, you could tap down on the bottom container's flange with a hammer.
Does Chicago really get more wind than other places? It seems like you get a lot of wind, but that could just be confirmation bias on my part.
very exciting
❤❤❤❤❤❤
A couple of things on climbing roses. They don’t send out tendrils so you have to tie them in. Also, horizontal branches carry the blooms, so you’ll have to train it to produce those, otherwise you’ll have blooms only at the top. Look up Niff Barnes for some training inspiration!
Eden rose…. Just beautiful
Your Eden is going to be massive with your technique. One plant will definitely be big enough for the arch—you might even have to widen the arch to support all that growth 😂.
I covered my Rise Up Lilac Days® rose with manure back in early December and wrapped the canes in burlap. Amazingly, all the canes made it through the winter! I’m in Michigan, zone 6a, was really worried it wouldn’t survive the cold in a pot—but to my surprise, it did!
Have you thought about adding a clematis in another pot? Climbing roses and clematis look so beautiful together. Plus, the clematis could help fill in the arch from the other side while the rose is still growing in.
I wish you luck on keeping the rose alive over the winter. I'm not ready to try tackling roses – I spend enough trying to keep my squash and gourds away from the neighbor's.
When you are setting up a trellis like that where if isn't against a building, how do you position it in relation to the direction of the wind? Do you find it better to put the narrowest profile of the structure into the wind?
Greetings from Ireland, Beautiful looking containers, For your stuck inserts try washing up liquid. The only roses in our garden are two very old big peony roses, we don't have any other roses in our garden.
Butter?
An annual climber that's beautiful is Mandeville. It can be cut all the way back, over wintered and be a perennial if you like.
Look at the cardinal❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Congrats on your arbor & climbing rose! I have Eden on one side of my arbor & New Dawn on the other side. Eden has been slow after 2 years; New Dawn climbed up & over year 2. Hopefully year 3, this summer Eden will climb.
The arch & Eden rose will be beautiful. My Iceberg climber has been very cold hardy. (We get a lot of snow & ice (6b-Utah) My fav rose fertilizer recipe. My roses love it. In Spring: For each rose 1 cup Alfalfa Meal, 1/2 c Organic Rose Fertilizer (I use Espoma or EB Stone), 2 Tbsp. Sul Po Mag (EB Stone or amazon). Mix together. Spread at base of rose & scratch into soil. Your new Eden rose would only need half the recipe until it gets bigger. If I fertilize during the summer I use an Organic Rose Fertilizer.
I planted a climbing rose for the first time in 2023. Mine is a Blaze and I have it planted in a cedar raised bed with an iron headboard as the trellis (it was my mom’s so it has sentimental significance). It’s been really true for me, the sleep, creep, leap saying. This is its third year and the amount of growth happening this year is crazy! I can’t wait until it flowers. 🌹❤
Ahh, that’s going to look stunning! I have the Eden rose in my garden.
Beautiful lady ❤❤❤❤
