Question

Will a climbing rose / rambling rose grow up a conifer? And if it will what kind of compost if any should I add? The ground is fairly compacted Thanks

Answer 1

Remember that any soil under a conifer will be completely sterile, they are very hungry and thirsty trees.

@antidepressant what should I add to the soil please

Answer 2

I'll tell you what will grow up a conifer: Trapaeolum speciosum/Scottish Flame flower. It's a beauty, hard to germinate from seed, but a perennial and just the pairing you'll admire.  

Answer 3

A rose will need more support than a conifer will provide. Try a clematis or other self supporting climber.  

Answer 4

Rambler will cover it use wire or netting to start it up when it reaches some branches it will keep going
