A climbing rose needs an arch
A climbing rose can be a decoration of any site. Its abundant and long-lasting flowering, practically all summer, brings joy to the grower and his guests. There are varieties that do not smell, which is important for allergy sufferers, but the net, on the contrary, is very fragrant varieties.
But, despite its beauty, the climbing rose is not so common in garden plots and flower beds. The fact is that caring for her is quite laborious. The rose requires spring garter support, pruning and shaping. Without support, she will die from damping-off and will suffer. In summer, it needs to be fertilized so that it does not deplete due to abundant flowering. But the most important thing is that in the fall it must be removed from the support and laid under a shelter for the winter period.
If the support is wooden, it is susceptible to rotting, so flower growers prefer metal supports. A climbing rose looks very beautiful on an arch in the garden. Therefore, buying an arch in the spring is a very important matter. Right now, in shopping centers last year's goods are being sold at a discount. But new ones are already arriving at completely different prices - much higher than last season.
There are many arches in Castorama to suit all tastes. The more metal it takes to make it, the more expensive it is. Thin arches are suitable for young shrubs if the rose has not yet developed abundant lateral shoots.
If the plant is old and powerful, then the arch should be wide so that you can tie up all the branches and place them freely on the support. This is necessary to ensure sufficient illumination. Then the plants will bloom profusely.
Supports are made of metal, which is covered with enamel. This makes the metal less susceptible to corrosion. Such an arch costs from 1.5 to 3.5 thousand rubles.
The arch itself can be of various configurations, welded from beautiful elements and serve as a decoration for the site without plants. Of course, such a product is more expensive.
The simplest "ladder" arch has a simple pattern in the form of horizontal bridges. It will cope with its function no worse than a patterned one, welded from curved elements. But it costs a lot less. This is the most budgetary option for 1,557 rubles.
In addition to climbing roses, clematis, morning glories, ivy, hops and other climbing plants are placed on the arches. You can tie them up with twine, plastic clamps or special clothespins.
Obelisks are available for sale for young bushes, as well as for climbing low-growing plants. They are portable, that is, they can be put in different places every year. Obelisks are made of steel and covered with powder paint.
Such an obelisk is perfect for honeysuckle or morning glory, which can be decorated on it in the form of a picturesque element of the landscape.
It can also be used to grow vegetables such as long cucumbers, pumpkins, beans or watermelons. It is perfect for this purpose. And for the winter, such a structure can be put back into the box.
Of course, a visit to the mall will not please gardeners - prices for all goods have gone up a lot. In particular, arches for plants cannot be attributed to cheap goods.
