Pruning

Water
Climbing roses like the Rosa 'Tradition '95' should be watered deeply once a week with about 1 to 1.5 gallons of water per plant, ensuring the soil is moist but not waterlogged. During hot or dry spells, the watering frequency should increase to twice per week. Avoid wetting the foliage to prevent fungal diseases, instead water at the base of the plant. The soil should be allowed to dry out slightly between waterings. Adjustments should be made for rainfall and changes in weather conditions, as over-watering can be as harmful as under-watering.
Light
Climbing roses such as the Rosa 'Tradition '95' thrive best in full sunlight with at least six hours of direct, unfiltered light each day. They should be planted in a spot that receives morning light, which is less intense and helps dry the dew on the leaves, thereby reducing the risk of fungal diseases. Avoid heavy shade as it can lead to poor blooming and weaker plants.
Temperature
Climbing roses like the Rosa 'Tradition '95' are hardy and can withstand a range of temperatures, typically from 20°F to 90°F. The ideal growing temperatures for this rose are between 65°F and 75°F, which encourages healthy growth and flowering. Extreme cold below 20°F may require protective measures such as mulching around the base of the plant.
Pruning
Climbing roses like the Rosa 'Tradition '95' should be pruned to remove dead and diseased wood, to shape the plant, and to encourage flowering. The best time to prune is in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins. Prune to open up the center of the plant to sunlight and air circulation, and cut back old wood by about one-third to promote new shoots. Remove any suckers growing from the base and thin out overcrowded branches.
Cleaning
As needed
Soil
For the Climbing Rose optimal soil mix is well-draining loam with organic material like compost and aged manure. Soil pH should range from 6.0 to 7.0.
Repotting

Humidity & Misting

Life cycle
The Rosa 'Korkeltin', commonly known as Hybrid Tea Rose, begins its life cycle when the seed germinates, given the right conditions of warmth, moisture, and soil. After germination, it progresses to the seedling stage, establishing its root system and developing its first true leaves. As the plant matures, it enters the vegetative stage, where it grows stems, leaves, and thorns, investing energy in developing a strong framework to support future blooms. The rose bush reaches the flowering stage next, producing buds that bloom into the characteristic large, often fragrant flowers, attracting pollinators. After pollination, the flowers produce hips (fruit), which contain seeds, completing the reproductive cycle of the plant. Over many years, the Hybrid Tea Rose will continue to grow and may undergo periods of dormancy in colder climates during the winter, only to return to active growth in the spring.
Propogation
- Propogation time
  Spring-Early Summer
- The most popular method of propagating the hybrid tea rose Rosa Tradition '95 ‘Korkeltin’ (PBR) is through softwood cutting. This involves taking a cutting from a healthy, disease-free mother plant in the late spring or early summer when the plant is actively growing. The cutting should be about 6 inches (approximately 15 centimeters) long, including several sets of leaves. The lower leaves should be removed and the cut end dipped in rooting hormone to encourage root development. The cutting is then planted in a well-draining soil mix, with the cut end buried about 2 inches (5 centimeters) deep. Maintaining high humidity around the cutting by covering it with a plastic bag or placing it in a propagator can improve the chances of successful rooting. Within a few weeks, the cutting should develop roots and can gradually acclimate to outside conditions before being planted in its final location.
