This guide is for gardeners looking to add vibrant, fragrant color to their outdoor spaces with a classic climbing rose. The YouGarden Climbing Alchymist Rose Bare Root 2 Pack offers spectacular early-summer displays of golden-yellow blooms with unique copper-peach hues and a rich, romantic aroma, capable of reaching up to 3 meters.

FAQs
When is the best time to plant bare-root climbing roses?
Bare-root roses are best planted during the dormant season, typically from late autumn through to early spring, while they are not actively growing.
How tall can the Climbing Alchymist Rose grow?
This vigorous climber can reach heights of up to 3 meters (approximately 10 feet).
Does this rose bloom more than once a year?
The 'Alchymist' rose flowers once a year, providing a spectacular display in early summer.
What kind of soil is best for this rose?
It thrives in well-drained soil. Avoid areas where water can collect, as this can lead to root rot.
How much sun does this rose need?
The Climbing Alchymist Rose requires full sun, meaning at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day, for the best flowering and growth.
What should I do if my bare-root roses arrive and I can't plant them immediately?
If you cannot plant them right away, store them in a cool, dark place and keep the roots moist. Soaking them in water as soon as possible is crucial.
Can I grow this rose in a large container?
Yes, you can grow it in a large container, provided it has excellent drainage holes and is deep enough to accommodate the root system. Ensure regular watering and feeding.
Troubleshooting
Rose does not establish or show new growth after planting.
Ensure roots were soaked thoroughly before planting and that the soil is adequately moist. Check that the planting depth is correct and the location receives sufficient sun. Bare-root plants can take some time to establish.
Yellowing leaves with poor growth.
This could indicate poor drainage or nutrient deficiency. Check soil drainage and consider feeding with a balanced rose fertilizer in spring. Ensure adequate watering without waterlogging the roots.
Few or no blooms in early summer.
Ensure the rose is receiving adequate sunlight (at least 6 hours daily) and has been properly pruned and fed. Overcrowding or lack of nutrients can also affect flowering.
Signs of pests or diseases (e.g., aphids, black spot).
Inspect the plant regularly. Treat aphids with insecticidal soap or by washing them off with water. For black spot, improve air circulation, remove affected leaves promptly, and consider using a fungicide if the problem persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Soak Roots: Upon receiving your bare-root roses, immediately soak the roots in a bucket of water for at least 2-3 hours, or ideally overnight, before planting.
- Choose Location: Select a spot that receives full sun and has well-drained soil. Avoid waterlogged areas.
- Prepare Hole: Dig a hole wide and deep enough to accommodate the spread of the roots without bending them. Loosen the soil at the bottom of the hole.
- Planting: Place the rose in the hole, ensuring the graft union (the swollen part where the rose is joined to the rootstock) is just above soil level. Backfill the hole with soil, firming gently around the base.
- Water Thoroughly: Water generously after planting to settle the soil.
Compatibility:
- Sunlight: Thrives in full sun (6+ hours of direct sunlight per day).
- Soil: Prefers well-drained soil. Can be grown in borders, containers (with adequate size and drainage), or directly against walls and fences.
- Support: Requires sturdy support such as trellises, arches, pergolas, or strong wires to climb.
Care:
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Deep watering is better than frequent shallow watering.
- Feeding: Feed annually in spring with a balanced rose fertilizer once new growth appears.
- Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems. Tie in new growth to support structures. As it blooms once a year, prune to shape and maintain health after flowering, or in late winter.
- Pest & Disease: Monitor for common rose pests like aphids and black spot. Treat as necessary with appropriate organic or chemical solutions.
