"Laure Davoust" So, if climbing and rambling roses are so similar, what are the differences between the two?

Climbing roses tend to flower repeatedly throughout the summer whereas rambling roses tend to flower once a year.

Rambling roses are also best suited to growing through trees or as ground cover. They are not so suitable for growing up vertical structure such as walls and trellis.

Rambling roses grow at great speed and easily cover up eyesores. After flowering they produce some of the most beautiful hips of all the roses.
