Varieties of semi-climbing roses (Cordes roses)

Climbing roses are divided into three large groups. These groups differ in height: climbing roses grow up to 15 meters, climbing roses from 3 to 5 meters and semi-climbing roses from 1.5 to 3 meters.In addition, small-flowered ramblers bloom on the shoots of the previous year, and large-flowered ones on the young shoots of the current year. Semi-climbing roses with powerful shoots are a cross between climbing and tea-hybrid roses. These differences determine the approach to growing these varieties of roses. Climbing rose varieties, the varieties of which are described in this article, represent all of these groups.

Most varieties are quite winter-hardy and overwinter well under light, dry cover.
