How to Prune Climbing Roses
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- I show how I prune my two climbing roses. One is 'Dancing Queen' and the other 'Golden Showers'. They are climbing hybrid tea roses on a wall in my English Garden. They both have a fragrant perfume and repeat flower right through the Summer. I garden in Zone 9a, if you have very harsh Winters you could do a lighter prune and finish the job in the Spring.
I show climbing roses growing up pretty English thatched cottages in this video

Paul this was an excellent tutorial on pruning roses!! I have always been intimidated by pruning them. Thank you and Happy November....hope to see 2020 behind us....and especially our contentious election of this coming week. Stay well.
Hello Nadine, thank you for your nice words about the tutorial. Have a lovely November - let's hope it is mild enough to get out into our gardens - and here's to 2021 coming round!
Nadine, I saw your message on my latest video (Part 10) but it has disappeared! If you have time please post it again - thanks.
I thought i was being too brutal with my climbers, but nothing like you!!! Thank you! You made me feel better!
Climbing roses are great because they grow new stems and flower all in the space of a few months - they love being pruned right back each year! Just give them a nice heavy feed now (April) and they'll really start growing.
Your video actually helps! Thank you for zooming in for details, as well as for zooming out. I've got Cewability, it has many new 1.5 thick shots growing from above 1.5m branches. It seems very difficult to prune, and no videos about it anywhere. Still not completely confident about that kind. I wish you could help!
I'm pleased you found my video helpful. I don't know how harsh your Winters are but with climbing roses which all flower on the present years growth you can cut back and prune as you like from early Spring and they will grow new shoots and flower that Summer. In the video I pruned mine in late Autumn which also is OK as we don't have harsh Winters near the coast in Britain.
I'm not familiar with Cewability but from what you say it sounds really healthy. Give it a good feed in Spring as it starts to grow.
Wonderful video paul. Do you also have by any chance a video where you train them?
Thanks JV - I don’t have a separate video on training. I would say try and get four or five main stems and train them upwards and outwards in a fan shape with the bottom ones ending up virtually horizontal. That will encourage a lot of vertical side shoots which will carry the flowers.

Ta for adding this video....I love the humanity of your channel....so many channels 'cut' the o-oh's out where you show us that things happen in the garden.....I like how you reaffirm required techniques because there are so many different ideas out there....some no so 'required'. I look forward to your next video.
Thanks Steve - it's true I like to show the things that wrong as well as right.
@@paultsworld the most important aspect of showing the accidents is there is always a way to repair...where the average gardener is usually looking for that kind of info....what does one do when the 'o-oh' happens - Steve
@@SRM_NZ That's so right Steve. I wanted to get a "perfect" fan shape but as it's not an ideal world we just work round it and nature does the rest.
@@paultsworld Oh Paul....going for shapes in nature...I learnt along time ago - "nature is the shape"
@@SRM_NZ I love that - “Nature is the shape”
Thanks Paul. Hope you keep posting for a while. I live in Iowa, in the states and I just finished putting my garden to bed for the year. Already thinking of next spring and seed starting. I want to thank you again for all your videos have loved them all, especially the pond 😁 ❤️
Thank you Vicki, I'll certainly post more videos - I wonder what the Winter will bring... when will your snow arrive and does it last through the Winter? You do like ponds - do you have a pond?
We have had our first snow and will certainly get many more. Although I don’t have room for a pond myself I do love them, especially yours. I am so happy to know that you’ll be keeping the videos coming. Many thanks 😁❤️
That's so nice Vicki.
I hope you have a "good" Winter.
Thank You!! This was very helpful. I would have left my climbing rose unpruned until Spring not knowing any better, but now I'll be out today hard pruning it just as you've demonstrated.
Thanks Elizabeth. Just a thought - if you have really hard Winters then you could prune a bit less and then finish off the job in Spring if you prefer.
@@paultsworld I'm in a zone 8 on the southwest coast of B.C. Canada, so each year the winters are usually anyone's best guess. 😉
@@elizabeths4371 you’ll be fine then 😎
When I was in BC - Vancouver & Vancouver Island I was very struck by how similar (climate & Vegetation) things are to where I am here. Having said that we once got down to -12c about a decade ago; was that a shock!
@@paultsworld I hear you, loud and clear. We had a deadly cold winter here about 7 years ago which resembled a Prehistoric Ice Age; all that was missing were the mammoths!
Let's hope for mild Winter this time round. 🤞
Gorgeous.....i hope those Climbing Roses will not die on Winter season....
Thank you for sharing your great work....Sir!!
Have a pleasant weekend and good night from North Borneo.
Hello Zaleha, the roses are pretty tough - thank you for your comment and greetings from England
Thank you so much for a very informative video... From Florida where roses are notoriously hard to grow!
So pleased you liked my video. Good luck with your roses.
Hi Paul... glad to see your vlog again!!! 😊😎 Take care!
Hi Marie, you take care as well - thanks
Please talk about how to take cuttings and how to propagate all the plants you show in all your video and in your garden because it will save us from spending a lot of money on buying thank you wonderful garden wonderful house wonderful hard work keep on going 💐👍💕😘🏠
That’s a nice idea Aisha. Propagation is such an important part of gardening as it is very satisfying and saves a lot of money. I’ll see what I can do. 🍀🌻
Hi Paul.Ah, the joys of pruning.Sometimes it feels like going into battle,sometimes its easy.I think you had it somewhere inberween.I did gasp as the end broke off.Then you went straight past it like it never happened.Good man.Its a great tutorial Paul.Never easy working with plants that are close together but come spring it wilk be a visual symphony.Mine are flowering now and look fantastic.Always nice to see their wee faces again.So good to see you again.Cant wait for your next video.Be well and safe my friend 🐦
Glad all is well with you and your garden is in beautiful flower. My fault the stem broke - it really, really wanted to head up to the roof 😃. It will get extra food next Spring to take its mind off the trauma. Enjoy your garden, stay well Yvonne.
Yes,a wee bit of extra food and all will be forgiven.They are so robust so it wont mind an extra bit of pruning.How have the azeleas you put in doing?Hope everything is doing well and ready for its winter rest.Another month of lockdown means more time to garden.💜
The azaleas are looking OK, they are thinking about putting on a bit of growth but I think they'll wait till Spring now. Yes - plenty of lockdown gardening and clearing leaves😃.
I love your climbing roses trees thanks for sharing this idea overall the world 😊😊😍😍🤗🌹🌹🌎🌎
I'm glad you enjoy the climbing roses Mr Santosh.
@@paultsworld thankyou 😊😊🤗🤗
new to rose,s ish learnt a lot thank you plus enjoyed your david auston visit .
Thanks for letting me know and enjoying the roses.
Awesome tutorials Paul! 👍❤️🙏🇨🇦
Cheers Tracy!
Just rewatched this Paul, as I've planted a Gertrude Jekyll this year ....I have a lot to learn. Thanks for imparting your knowledge this is a superb instructional vid you have a clear way of explaining . I'm also planning on training onto wires 😀
Thank you Carolina - good luck with your new rose, they grow very quickly. My yellow one is in full bloom now.
Hello - if you have a bushy climber the best thing to do is to cut it back down hard in early spring to about 6 inches.Then the lovely long shoots will grow up to make horizontals.
That’s a good tip - I’ll remember that thank you.
Thank you for the "lesson", Mr T :-) I am just beginning my journey with roses; in fact, right now I am waiting for bare root roses by Kordes, D.Austin, Tantau and a few French ones which tolerate semi-shade. I have also propagated a rose which grows in a public lawn nearby in a very poor soil and flowers non stop, I guess it is Westerland. I have some old no-name roses in the garden which either my father planted or I propagated from cuttings years ago, I am still in two minds about whether to get rid of them or not. I was impressed by your Rambling Rector the other day, I am determined to buy it in spring if I manage to find it, of course, as it is not easily available in my country. Another dream of mine is Bobby (Bobbie) James.
Wow, you have a lot of roses - I'll look up some of the ones you've mentioned. Rambling Rector is quite a rambler - I've seen one grow right across the back of two large houses, it was absolutely spectacular. I can't believe I've kept mine growling and flowering in a pot for 11 years.
@@paultsworld I really recommend looking up the insect-friendly Bienenweide Rosen series by Rosen Tantau. They are lovely, disease resistant and they don't need a lot of space.
@@pertelote4526 excellent - thanks for that, I’ll check it out.
I cant believe you did this job without gloves!! I kept wincing and going ouch! It's like as if I was feeling all the pricks for you 😀
They are pretty thorny 😄 - it's just too much hassle using gloves when I'm filming, as I'm constantly adjusting the cameras - however I might wear a crash hat in future after that branch fell on my head. 🤔
@@paultsworld 🤣 I felt that as well!! I'm afraid a branch on the head doesnt qualify for making a wish ...
@@maureen6710 It qualifies for a free trip to A&E 🤣
@@paultsworld 🤣👍
Do love a rose. Might have to try that bending technique, good tip 👍🏼
Don't bend them too far! 😀
You have some well pampered climbing roses Paul! No wonder they reward you with spectacular displays come summer. Thanks for the tips and tricks.
Thanks AJ!
@@paultsworld thank you!
Great video Paul. I love both of your climbing roses which we saw in full bloom in your garden tours. Because of our cold winters I can only lightly trim my roses now and leave the heavy pruning for spring. Que susto Paul! At first I didn't know whether the branch had snapped or if you had ripped your hand with the thorns!!!
It was a bit of a susto! It was my fault I just bent the end at too acute of an angle.
I’m going to give it a treat - another horizontal wire so it can grow higher - with a gentle curve next year!
Je n'osais pas tailler les grimpants en ce moment ! je le faisait toujours en février/mars mais je vois que c'est possible , merci de ces bons conseils Paul
Oui, février/mars aussi ça marche bien Roger. Ici certaines personnes en font la moitié maintenant, puis plus au début du printemps. Moi je le fais d'un seul coup!
Very therapeutic paul
Thanks so much Carolina.
Not too shabby, Paul. Those bushes never saw you coming. ;)
They didn't Nate - but they sure got their own back with some of those thorns. 😆
@@paultsworld
Ha! I would’ve used some gloves. 😜 Nice work keeping those nails trimmed properly for the audience though. 🧐
Funny head bonk and emoticon add. More suet to roll in a bit. 🍿🍺 I’m still behind on your newest creation. Cheers!
I often don't wear gloves when I'm filming because of the time to keep taking them off to adjust the camera. Great your birds are getting plenty to eat.
@@paultsworld
Yeah...a lot of Behind the Scenes work you do, Paul. I appreciate the work, and our friendship. Nice work with the titles as well. 🤔🧐😉
Cheers, Nate.
Thanks for sharing the video !! I really enjoy it!
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it.
ahahah the branch slapped you in the face! happens to me on a daily ahahaha
I need to be more careful as those two roses have some serious thorns!
I hope you are ok, thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Awesome tutorial. I have a neighbour close by whom I shall share this with. When did you start gardening and what was you inspiration? For me I always loved outdoors even in cold bitter Labrador winter.I love to create and and care for people and things. I have now even started to crochet again with this coronavirus to keep my mind and hands busy when it is too cold or wet outside. We are having a huge variant increase at the moment and we are in the epicenter here in Surrey. I know you guys are going through the same. Stay safe, take care and cheers!
Thank you for sharing the video. I have gardened since I was young, my Mum was the gardener and I've enjoyed nature since a boy when my Dad taught me the names of all the birds. Hopefully the cold and wet days are behind us! All the best.
I Lovet u tube Chanel u are the best ilovet
I am so pleased you enjoy my videos Merced.
Hello super video's
Thank you.
Will you reduce some of the bushiness of the Dancing Queen? I really enjoyed your pruning work on these climbers. Pruning is my favorite garden task!
That’s a good question JM. For this coming year I’m going to keep it all as I get a lot of flowers in that area and the ‘bulk’ fills in that area. I know it’s a funny look for a climber 😀. Going to be really interesting what happens with its very first long ‘proper’ climbing rose stems.
Great to hear you love pruning - me too, it’s therapeutic.
Good & difficult job Paul will pay dividends next summer 👍
Thanks Steve!
What month do you do this? Is it anytime after last flowers have gone? Have usually done my major prune in spring but early winter will work better if thats when it is
Depends on your Winters. I prefer to do it in late Autumn/early Winter but people with very harsh Winters might prefer early Spring.
How do keep aphids off your Rose's Paul?
Some years I don't have a problem, other years they attack the new growth. I rub my fingers along the stems to squash them.
Interesting channel Paul!
Thanks Adam - glad you like it.
What month are you doing this prune please?
I do it in late Autumn but if you have very cold Winters it might be best to wait till late Winter or very early Spring.
wow im new here so lovely
Welcome to my channel Diane and thank you for your nice comment.
U enjoy your information thank you.
I found an old Rose called Dortman. I just love it. It has a beautiful single red flower with a yellow eye, and great foliage. I'm training it as a pillar rose. It's a cutting I took two summers ago and planted it last Fall 2019. We have been trying to train the stems to spiral around the 4" X 4" X 6" post my husband put in.
MY QUESTION is, is spiralling this type of Rose, (the Dortman) around the post a good idea? Or should I just have the canes go straight up? Thank you.
I enjoy your information.
Hello Karen,
Your rose sounds absolutely gorgeous and how satisfying to have grown it from a cutting.
Certainly spiraling sounds a good idea because the flowering stems will be encouraged to shoot vertically off these main spiralled stems.
Then, each year you'll be able to prune back the flowering side shoots. Please let me know how it does next year - if you get a mass of blooms it will look spectacular.
@@paultsworld OMG, Thank you so much for responding to my question. Thank you. I can't wait for Spring & Summer blooms. Have a great day.
You’re welcome Karen - next Summer is going to be great!
Karen, I know it's two years too late, but your rose is in fact called Dortmund (Kordes, 1955). I hope it does look great around your obelisk because it is perfect for it. Cheers.
The great snap of 2020 lol 👍
Yes, it did end up a little shorter at the end of the video than the beginning! 🤣
I’ve got a Cecile Brunner Climbing Rose on an arbor and it’s never been cut back as hard as you just showed and is quite dense. Should I be trying to cut it back some now?
Hello Gretchen, it partly depends on your Winter - my Winters are mild. First will it flay about in the winds of Winter? If it is all secure then how about waiting till the first strong buds start to show in the Spring to give you confidence in pruning back to them to open up the dense parts. Also you could then prune part of it hard and part in your usual way - the rose will then show you in the Summer which it prefers.
Hope that’s helpful - roses are tough plants.
Thank you so much for responding.
I live in Western Oregon in zone 8b. We’ve been having fairly mild winters, but it does occasionally get to freezing temps. The rose is three years old and entangled on a strong walk through arbor. I’ve already pruned off some wild long runners that were several feet above the arbor and pointing skyward. I may go in and thin it some now and do more in the spring as you suggested. I really enjoy your videos and have learned much from watching you. Thanks, again.
8b - pretty much do what you want, when you want ...until that once in a decade Winter gets us! Your arbour must look great in Summer, glad you like the videos.
Doesn't it make you crazy when those branches don't go the way you want them to! 🤣🤣
Ha, ha - what happens when an irresistible force meets an unmovable object 🤣
