Kaiser used a heavy metal trellis stabilized with rebar stakes.
Once you’ve chosen your archway, it’s time to choose a spot for it.
Amend with more compost and water deeply.
Spraying rose leaves and budscan cause disease and invite pests.
This encourages stems to send out more shoots, resulting in more flowers.
Dont be afraid to sacrifice height in your first few seasons for better health of your roses.
Allow one or two main stems to reach the top of the structure and stagger the rest.
Kaiser applies a preventive fungicide when removing dead canes to fend off black spot and other fungal issues.
This encourages flowering throughout the archway, not just at the top.
