Trudging Rose

This type of climbing plant itself is unable to grow in construction. And if you want to grow a rose in the gazebo or on the grid, it is necessary to help the plant. To do this, connect it or tie to the structure. However, there should be very careful not to attach threads too tight - it can damage them. If possible, it is best to buy a lattice, which have special clips made for the purpose.

Each year after the winter all the dry branches must be cut in order to give the young shoots more freedom. And every two or three years, the plant should be thinned by removing the oldest branches.

Clematis

Clematis - kind of climbing plants with a large and colorful flowers. And he leaves juicy and bright color. By the way, clematis leaves clinging to a support and the above structure, the higher it grows. Clematis quite whimsical, also has a lot of colors. Therefore, you will have the opportunity to choose a flower to taste that fits the design of the entire site.

Clematis blooms once, but as well as a rose can please you a second flowering, though less abundant, if you just trim the buds withered. Prune the plants in the spring, as soon as the buds are cut dead branches and shorten alive.

Each variety requires his departure clematis, so when buying specify details of the seller. The general rule of only one thing: when doing pruning, do not let the branches in height, they should be at eye level.

Wild grapes

This type of plant is the most common in our country, because it is best adapted to our climate. Bright foliage of grapes appear in early spring and lasts until late autumn, changing its color depending on the weather conditions. Very nice looks wild grapes in the autumn, decorating your garden, yellow, red and burgundy leaves.

Wisteria - southern lady, so it can grow is not for everyone. But if you manage to grow this beauty, your garden will be the envy of all! Flowering plant is very beautiful, with clusters of blue, white or pink, which hang from the branches of 20-30 centimeters.

Place planting should be warm and windless. It is also necessary to limit the proliferation of space as wisteria provides additional shoots from the roots. This can ruin the other plants in your yard.

In areas with mild climates the plant is doing well, and winter warming it is not required. The closer to the north or to the places where constant winds, the more difficult to maintain the wisteria in the winter. Features warming pretty scrupulous, so it is best to consult on this matter with the purchase of the plant.

Constructs support

Varieties of vines are quite a few, and each of them need different in design and height of the support. Let us consider this question a little more:

• For plants with thin stems, enough light construction. Such as grid "netting". It is also an ideal option would be plastic or fabric mesh.
• Larger and heavier branches need a more robust design. It is best to use a wooden pergola. On this support can be fixed any of the climbing plants, and feel at the same time it itself is great.
• The thinner the branches of a plant, the thicker need to fill support. Wisteria, for example, will thrive on the support horizontal beams with a distance of 30-40 centimeters, wild grapes require less distance - about 20 centimeters. But clematis need a grid, which should fill the main support.

Whichever of the vines would you choose, the approach to the construction of the support must be serious. After all, it affects how the plant will feel. And if it is "happy", then his appearance will bring only pleasure and joy!
