"Adam" for a fan-trellis??? Empty "Adam" for a fan-trellis???

Post by Admin 4th January 2011, 11:05

I built a series of these fan-shaped trellis structures for the posts on my verandah on which to grow climbing roses. There are 5 in all. On the first I have 'Nahema' and it does a good job and is well suited to the support. On the one next to it is 'Climbing White Iceberg' and it works well but is such a disease magnet that I'm going to shovel prune it today and replace it with another. Next to it is Pierre de Ronsard:

Next to PDR is a young plant of 'William Lobb' and next to that is a young plant of 'Lamarque'.

I have a plant of "Adam" in a pot that I'd like to plant out and was wondering whether its growth habit suits a structure like this. I want it to fill out like PDR has. I have a few others that I can put in there instead but this was my first choice because I really want to get it in the ground.

What do you think? Will it fill in or does it grow to thinly, because so far I have been 'underwhelmed' by the density of Teas growing in Tasmania?

Our "Adam" is like a lot of teas and resists any structure suffering dieback where it is tied or twisted about a support. It also resents being pruned to the extent that we will probably dig it out and get another one and plant it where it will not need pruning.

Can it support itself or is it more of a tree climber?

Ours is just grown as a self supporting rambler type. Unfortunately we planted it to close to the edge of the garden and it needed cutting back which it has resented.

I love the rose and before it was cut back it was always in flower with lots of blooms. Now it is just a few blooms now and then with a lot of dieback where it has been pruned.

Thanks for the help Gary... I'll put one of the other climbers I have in there instead and find a better place for "Adam".

Watch out for that Lamarque! Just about my favourite rose and I have it in Sydney and the mountains. But it gets BIG.
