help Rosa 'Blaze' FAQ
How tall does the Blaze climbing rose grow?
Rosa 'Blaze' can produce canes roughly 10 to 15 feet long when trained against a trellis, fence, or wall. It is a climber rather than a self-clinging vine, so its canes need to be tied to a support.
Does Rosa 'Blaze' flower more than once?
Blaze produces clusters of bright scarlet, semi-double flowers and can repeat during the growing season. Its strongest display is commonly the main flush, with later flowering influenced by climate and care.
When should a Blaze climbing rose be pruned?
Major pruning is normally done after the plant is established, with dead or weak wood removed and productive canes retained. Because climbers flower on side shoots, tying the long canes more horizontally can encourage additional blooms.
How old is the Rosa 'Blaze' cultivar?
Jackson & Perkins introduced Blaze in the United States in 1932. Its long history and vivid red flower clusters helped make it a familiar traditional climbing rose.
