It is a rustic rose that adapts to even the poorest soils, exceeding 3 meters in height. The Gin Lemon variety is a climbing rose with a saturated yellow color: it produces small unscented roses but in large numbers. The petals are shiny and the rapid growth: it reaches 3 meters in height.

They are able to cover very large surfaces and offer elegant and sober-looking flowers, with only five petals. They are thornless and the flowers, gathered in bunches, create a beautiful pattern. Banksiae roses want a sunny position and the Banksiae normalis and Banksiae lutescens varieties have lots of fragrant flowers.

Who wants flowering climbing plants, prefers rustic varieties and does not live in southern Italy, can choose the Lathyrus odoratus species: a climbing pea that produces small flowers from summer to autumn. It begins to bloom between May and June and the flowering lasts until the months of September / October. This plant does not tolerate the summer heat, so in the South it should be grown in shady areas. The recommended variety is the Red Pearl which offers abundant lively blooms. This plant rather than a climbing one should be considered bushy because it does not reach significant heights.
Fertilizer for flowering climbing plants
Please note: to keep theflowering climbing plants it is important to bring potassium-based fertilizer. Potassium keeps flower colors alive and guarantees abundant blooms. Better to avoid the use of nitrogen-based fertilizers, if you use universal fertilizer, in fact, you risk promoting the growth of leaves and green parts to the detriment offlowers.
When choosing the fertilizer, note the ratio between nitrogen and potassium: the nitrogen content (N) must be comparable to that of potassium (K) with a very slight prevalence of the former (N).
An excellent fertilizer for flowering creeperyou can find it on Amazon at the price of 13.92 euros (free shipping costs) for the one kg package. For all the info on the product mentioned, I refer you to "this official Amazon page".
Regardless of the product you choose, prefer slow release microgranular fertilizers and do not overdo the doses: 50 grams per plant are enough, to be buried superficially with a light harrowing!
