All Ablaze Red Climbing Rose

All Ablaze Red Climbing Rose (Rosa x 'All Ablaze')

All Ablaze Red Climbing Rose is a vigorous climber that quickly turns a plain fence, arbor, or wall into a long-blooming vertical feature. Large clusters of cherry red, ruffled double blooms bring strong color in repeated flushes, so the display keeps renewing through the growing season. The flowers carry a mild spice fragrance that feels classic without being overpowering, and the dark green foliage provides a clean backdrop all summer. If you want an easy-to-train red climber that delivers reliable coverage and color, this rose fits the job.

Distinctive Features

This climbing rose produces generous sprays of cherry red, double, ruffled flowers with a light spice scent, creating an old-fashioned look with modern repeat bloom. It blooms on old and new wood, which helps keep flowers coming even as you train and shape the plant on supports. Long canes typically reach about 8 to 12 feet, making it ideal for trellises, pergolas, pillars, and gateways where you want height and fullness. The foliage is medium to dark green and helps the bloom color read even richer in the landscape.

Growing Conditions

• Sun: Full sun is best for strong flowering, with 6 or more hours of direct light each day.
• Soil: Plant in fertile, well-drained soil amended with organic matter, with slightly acidic to neutral pH.
• Water: Water deeply and consistently, especially the first year, keeping soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
• USDA Zones: Zones 6 to 9.
• Support: Provide a sturdy trellis, fence, or arbor and tie canes as they grow to encourage fuller coverage.

Ideal Uses

• Focal Point: Train it as a focal point on an arbor or entry trellis where the cherry red clusters can frame the view in bloom.
• Trellises and Arbors: Covers vertical structures quickly with repeat color and a classic rose look.
• Fences and Walls: Softens hard lines while adding height, privacy, and seasonal drama.
• Garden Gateways: Creates a welcoming passage with color and a light spice fragrance.
• Cut Flowers: Provides clustered stems for simple, bold arrangements during bloom flushes.

Low Maintenance Care

• Pruning: Prune in late winter to early spring to remove dead wood and shape, keeping main canes and shortening laterals for blooms.
• Training: Tie canes horizontally or in gentle arcs to encourage more flowering shoots along the length of the cane.
• Watering: Water at the base to keep foliage drier and reduce disease pressure, especially in humid weather.
• Feeding: Fertilize in spring and again after the first bloom flush with a rose fertilizer to support repeat flowering.
• Mulching: Mulch to conserve moisture, moderate soil temperature, and reduce weeds around the root zone.
