Climbing habit of roses

Rosa L.

Climbing habit in roses is a qualitative growth trait that defines the plant's habitus through the presence of long, flexible, or arching canes. This trait classifies varieties into rambler and climber groups, necessitating specific tying and pruning methods.

In the reference 255 varieties crop Rose, where this is mentioned in the description.

In rose breeding, climbing habit is characterized by cane morphology, dividing plants into ramblers with flexible stems and climbers with more rigid canes. Although the parameter itself has no units of measurement, it is directly related to cane length, which in these forms can reach five meters.

This characteristic determines the cultivation technology of the crop, including the mandatory use of vertical supports. Agrotechnical practices, such as horizontal tying of canes, are used to stimulate abundant flowering along their entire length, which distinguishes the care of climbing roses from bush forms.
