Which clematis with climbing rose?
Comments (4)but if you purchase a clematis that must be cut back every spring, there may be a problem untwining it from the rose. I haven't had that problem. Deciduous Clematis stems are brittle and easy to remove. I cut off Jackmanii at the base and pull it off of the rose (in my case Fourth Of July and Sombreuil). If there are small bits left the bits are quickly hidden by the rose foliage. The clems that should be cut to the ground every year are the easiest ones to deal with. I think Jackmanii would look great with Blaze and Zephie. Another might be 'Perle d'Azur'....See MoreClematis on Climbing Rose (photo included)
Comments (5)I know it wil be beautiful! I hope you post pics of the end result when the time comes. In the meantime, here is a thread from the roses forum of some combos that may inspire you some more. I also have climbing aloha but it's a barefoot And I haven't decided what Clem to use yet. Yours is an excellent choice tho! Here is a link that might be useful: Roses and clematis inspiration...See MoreWhere to plant clematis relative to climbing rose?
Comments (4)Hey fellow gardenstater! I live in OH now but grew up in NJ near Asbury Park! lol To help with you question... I am trying to do the same thing here with a new clem Henryi, and several others and my John Cabot rose which is coming in a couple of weeks. I am also constrained by space because they are against a trellis. Since 'Haku Ookan' is a group 2 clem you might want to consider the two side by side? Think in terms of not only water and nutrient requirements, but which way will be easier to prune both? Clems don't really need to have "their roots shaded" as what they really need is Moisture! The roots shaded by mulch or low growing plants (or the rose for that matter) is only there to keep the clem and rose moist. If you can't plant them side by side I would tend to think in terms of planting the clem in front of the rose. Of course, it is all up to you. Our gardens should be done the way WE like them :) I think at least a ft is ok for the spacing if you are training it to go through the rose. But be careful digging as all roots are easily sliced through. Mine are also going to be about a ft away from eachother. Here is a pic of the general plan: (there is actually a lot more space than what is shown as the trellis is 20 ft long and 6 ft high.) But I'm not that great at drawing lol....See MoreQuestion...
Comments (3)Don't know about roses but your clematis should be fine. Many clematis are Pruning types 3 and should be cut back hard every year. Some people treat Pruning type 2s (cut back to strong buds and will bloom on both new and old growth) as 3s which will delay early bloom but still have bloom on new growth. Pruning type 1 clematis only bloom on old growth so are not cut back unless one wants to rejuvenate the plant. If 1s are cut back to the ground expect new growth the next spring but no flowers until the second year....See Moretoobusy30z5b
