WaterThe Climbing Rose, commonly known as 'Rêve d'Or', should be watered deeply once a week, providing about 1.5 gallons of water per plant to ensure moisture reaches the roots. During hot or dry weather, the watering frequency should increase to twice per week. Conversely, if there is a lot of rainfall, you can reduce the watering accordingly, but make sure the soil never becomes waterlogged as it can lead to root rot. Always check the top couple of inches of soil before watering; they should be dry before the next watering.
LightClimbing Roses like 'Rêve d'Or' thrive in full sun conditions, which means they need at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. Ideally, place them in a location where they receive morning sun, which is less harsh than the afternoon sun, and can help dry dew on the leaves to prevent diseases. Partial shade is tolerable, especially in the hottest areas, but too much shade can lead to a decline in bloom production and increase susceptibility to pests and diseases.
TemperatureThe Climbing Rose 'Rêve d'Or' prefers a moderate climate and does best with daytime temperatures between 70°F and 85°F. It can survive minimum temperatures down to around 20°F, though prolonged exposure to cold can damage the plant. The ideal growing conditions for 'Rêve d'Or' roses include warm days and cooler nights, as this helps to promote healthy growth and flower development.
Pruning'Rêve d'Or', the Climbing Rose, benefits from pruning to promote healthy growth, increase air circulation, and encourage more blooms. The best time for pruning is late winter or early spring, just as the plants break dormancy but before new growth begins. Prune to remove dead, damaged, or diseased canes, and to shape the plant, focusing on cutting back canes that did not produce well in the previous season. Pruning should be done annually to maintain the health and appearance of the rose bush.

Life cycleRosa 'Rêve d'Or', commonly known as the Climbing Tea Rose, begins its life cycle when its seeds germinate in the soil under suitable temperature and moisture conditions. The emerging seedlings develop roots and shoots, gradually forming leafy young plants. As the rose bushes mature, they produce lush green foliage and canes, which can be trained on supports to allow the plant to climb and spread. The Climbing Tea Rose typically enters a prolific flowering stage in late spring to early summer, displaying numerous fragrant, apricot-yellow blooms that may continue to flower in flushes throughout the growing season. After pollination, the flowers develop into rose hips (fruit), which contain seeds for the next generation. Finally, the plant enters a period of dormancy during the colder months, when growth slows down or ceases until the favorable growing conditions of spring return.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring-Early Summer
Propogation: Rosa 'Rêve d'Or', commonly known as the Tea Noisette rose, is typically propagated by semi-hardwood cuttings. The most popular method of propagation begins in late summer to early autumn. A 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 centimeters) cutting is selected from a healthy, disease-free parent plant. The cutting should have several sets of leaves, and the lower leaves are removed. A cut is made just below a leaf node, and the base of the cutting is dipped in rooting hormone to encourage root development. It is then planted in a well-draining soil mix, and the environment should be kept humid with adequate but not excessive water. Roots usually develop within several weeks, and the young plants can be transplanted to their permanent location the following spring.
