ToxicityTo humans
The miniature climbing rose, commonly referred to simply as the climbing rose, is not considered toxic to humans. Roses do not contain substances that are typically poisonous when ingested. However, it's important to note that the thorns on a rose bush can cause physical injury if handled improperly, and some individuals may experience allergic reactions to the plant, such as dermatitis from handling the leaves or prickles. But, the ingestion of rose petals or leaves does not generally result in poisoning or serious health consequences.
To pets
Climbing roses, like others in the Rosa genus, are generally recognized as non-toxic to pets, including cats and dogs. While eating the leaves or flowers may lead to mild gastrointestinal upset due to the unusual material in the pet's digestive tract, it does not commonly result in severe poisoning. However, just as with humans, the thorns can cause physical injury. If a pet chews on the stem or tries to eat the thorns, they could experience pain, puncture injuries, or infection which may require veterinary attention.

WaterThe miniature climbing rose, commonly known as 'Warm Welcome', requires consistent moisture to flourish. Water the plant deeply once a week with about 1 gallon of water, ensuring the soil is moist but not waterlogged. During hot and dry periods, you may need to water twice a week. Cut back on watering to every other week during the winter when the plant is dormant. Always aim the water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to diseases.
LightThe 'Warm Welcome' climbing rose thrives in full sun conditions. For optimal growth, it should receive at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. The best spot for planting is an area that gets morning sun, which will help dry the dew on the leaves, reducing the risk of fungal diseases.
TemperatureThe 'Warm Welcome' climbing rose prefers temperate conditions and is hardy in zones 5 through 9, withstanding minimum temperatures of -20 to -10 degrees Fahrenheit. It grows best in temperatures ranging between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit but can tolerate summer highs up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
PruningPruning the 'Warm Welcome' climbing rose is essential for maintaining its health and promoting vigorous growth. Prune in late winter or early spring, removing any dead or diseased wood and thinning out crowded areas to improve air circulation. The best time to prune is when the plant is still dormant but just about to break into growth. Typically, you should aim to cut back about one-third of the old growth each year.

Life cycleThe life of the Warm Welcome Rose ('Chewizz') begins with seed germination, where environmental conditions such as temperature and moisture trigger the development of the seed into a seedling. As it grows, the seedling establishes a root system and sprouts its first leaves in a stage known as vegetative growth. Following vegetative growth, it enters the maturity phase, during which time it develops canes, foliage, and eventually buds. The buds bloom into the characteristic vibrant orange-red flowers for which the Warm Welcome Rose is known, usually in late spring to summer, signaling the reproductive stage. After pollination, which may involve insects or wind, the flowers develop hips (fruit) containing seeds, completing the sexual reproduction cycle. When the hips mature, they release seeds into the environment, either falling to the ground or being dispersed by animals, which can initiate a new life cycle if conditions are favorable.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring-Early Summer
Rosa 'Warm Welcome,' commonly known as miniature climbing rose, is most effectively propagated by softwood cuttings. This method is generally undertaken during late spring or early summer when the plant's new growth is still flexible but mature enough to root easily. To propagate by cuttings, a gardener would select a healthy stem with several leaf nodes, cut it to a length of about 6 inches (15 cm), and remove the bottom leaves. The cut end is then dipped in rooting hormone to encourage root development and planted in a well-draining soil mix. Maintaining a humid environment and consistent moisture is crucial for successful rooting, often taking several weeks before the cuttings are ready to be hardened off and transplanted.
