Hello All,
I am wanting to plant a climbing rose to go up the side of the window and then around the top of the window. I have read that the rose will need to be "trained", how exactly is this done? Do I need a trellis up the side and along the top of the window? is wire or something less visible possible?
How far away from the house should a climbing rose be planted?
Finally and suggestions on a suitable climbing rose for this the position is south facing so full sun, as much as possible for the UK!
Many thanks in advance!
