I am a first time rose grower here in the UK. I have watched countless videos and read as many books about training and pruning climbing roses. You have explained the process in simple terms and are by far the very best video tutorial I have seen. 🙂
I followed this video few months ago , and did my climbing roses like this , now I can tell they are coming new branches , I hope I get a lot of blooms this year .
That came out beautiful! 😍 Great tutorial. This is my climbers second year grown from root last year. I know I'm very late getting to pruning and training, but hopefully will get to it in the next week.
Thank you ,the mystery has finally totally unravelled after watching you prune twice,I was watching it happen the first time going back to see it with the acronym the second,I am now prepared to do a main stem attack when necessary. the tip about removing by cutting a section all the way up once the first cut made at ground level,this will work for any plant removal.I was wondering what to do with my 100 +zip ties after buying them and using 10 and storing the rest for 2 years.I hope they are long enough.An Eden rose ,how beautiful,that's what you said ,I found the name in the other equally impressed comments,I missed that with the accent .I will see if I can get this rose in London. February , I can still tidy up and remove old growth and unwanted ,maybe more.
I like him. He talks so easy, and clearly. I'm the worst to prune. I hate taking off one leaf, I shuddered at so much being removed but I have to watch this regularly to get it into my brain that what is taken causes flourishing . . . Later. I was blown away with the result. The annoying music made it harder to follow what he was saying tbough.
I saw that there were 199 comments saying what a brilliantly informative and helpful video you've made and thought 'let's just make it 200' - thank you again. I've just bought a tiny rose that is supposed to be a healthy climber so I now have your knowledge to help me along. Well done & greetings from Cape Town ❤️
This is the first video of yours I've watched and I really appreciate the thoroughness of your video. I have been confused by other explanations of climbing rose pruning but this, along with seeing the follow-ups, was fantastic. Thank you! -DT
Excellent video. Thank you for your instruction. I have a severely neglected one that's about 90 years old. I missed pruning it in its dormancy. It has about 2 inches of new growth. Can I still shape it up? PNW. Probably no more hard freezing Temps.
I’ve only had roses a couple years here in Wisconsin, but wow I didn’t know those climbers developed canes that thick! I’ve had to cut mine to the ground sadly both years but I’m trying a couple more types (from heirloom actually) and hopefully one of them will be a bit more cane hardy.
I've now watched over a dozen different vids but none have guidance on my roses that were planted on wire mesh arches (think 5m x 1m 'hog panels' bent into an arch). They were here when we bought the house. There just isn't much 'horizontal' to train the main canes onto
@@wildflowersmilkhoney503 yes, but the whole POINT of every vid is to train your main canes HORIZONTALLY. I never saw a climbing rose planted on a fence like the ones shown, in the first 55 years of my life. I just wanted to know, if your old roses have been planted in an arch (or around a doorway, or up a wall, like it seems they always used to be), how do you prune them?
Thanks you for this video. I now know more about climbing roses. I live in San Diego California. I just bought a climbing rose. When should i start pruning my rose? Winter?
So much detailed instructions the best of all. Thank you. Do you have Cornelia rose that I can buy. Or any variety that is close to Cornelia rose. Hope to get some answers from you.
Wonderfully informative video, thank you! I have a new bare root eden climber coming to me this spring, and am wondering if you would recommend bending the main canes along my fence as they grow, even though it's only year 1? Would it be better to let the main canes focus on putting on some length this year (growing straight up, without expending energy on lateral growth), then bending them to my fence for year 2 blooms?
Hello! It is best to start training your main canes in their second year. So they establish their roots and have about 4 strong canes. Here is a link to an article and more videos with more information if you are interested. www.heirloomroses.com/info/prune-roses-that-climb
can I do this early spring before growth starts? Or is late fall the best and only time? I didn't do it last fall so I am hoping to do it when the snow is gone mostly, like mid April here in Canada
Great video! I have a couple of questions. Where did you get your trellis for the climbing rose ? What kind of trellis do you advise to buy for a climbing rose up against a wooden fence and how far from the wooden fence should the trellis be placed? Thank you!
Hello! Sorry for this late response. The rose in this video is growing on a porch railing, and many of the other trellises we use are homemade, but any strong, sturdy trellis of wood or metal, tall and wide enough for the rose to grow up and out, should work well. If you are attaching a trellis to your fence, there should be about 4 inches between the fence and trellis. I hope this is helpful!
Something that's not explained is what happens after??!! I mean you can't keep pruning those laterals to nubs indefinitely, also how do you know when to replace a main came altogether.And lastly, not all laterals are that textbook prefect, some laterals behave more like main canes, they are very thick and very long, so you still cut them to two buds, or do you tie it in to form part of the framework?
Your pruning methods are going to vary year by year depending on how the plant grows. This video is just meant to be a guide, however it is totally up to you on how you train your rose to grow!
Hello sir, will roses die if they are exposed to sunlight for more than 6 hours? I live in South Carolina and just bought roses from HR. I really want to be successful in growing roses. Thank you
How do you know if you have a climbing rose? I have several that grow very long stems and only have a single rose or a cluster at the end of each stem. Would these work as climbers? Thanks!!!
Typically if the canes produce blooms at the end of the main canes, then it is not a climbing variety. You can certainly train them up a support if you like the height, but the plant will not perform like the variety highlighted in this video.
Early spring, right when your plant starts showing the smallest signs of new growth, is the best time to prune! In the PNW, that is typically around the end of February or early March for us.
BETTER THAN ZIP TIES, BUY DOUBLE SIDED GREEN VELCRO 20MM THICKNESS, 25 METER ROLLS. YOU CAN CUT THEM IN HALF LENGTH-WAYS TO CREATE THINNER 10MM STRIPS, AND, THEY'RE REUSABLE. ZIP TIES TURN OUT MORE EXPENSIVE IN THE LONG RUN, AND ONLY HAVE A ONETIME USE.
We do have several climbing varieties that will thrive in zone 10, including Eden. It all just depends on the health of your soil and that the plant is getting the nutrients it needs to grow strong.
I live in southeastern Michigan. Should I be trying to prune my climbing rose in February ? I noticed there were leaves on the canes you were pruning. The leaves don't appear on my rose until maybe mid april.
@@heirloomroses thank you for answering my question. Can I prune any other time of year, here in Michigan. I haven't done much to my climbing rose. Weirdly, it bloomed pink last year, and red this year. I have had the rose for over 5 years. It was pink. It didn't bloom for years. It bend over and bloomed. Not sure why it started out pink, but has bloomed red, then pink again. I thought the graft died and the red came from the root. Don't know why the color changes?
Me too... I have to go buy a few things to do it with today and have been putting it off because I was afraid of hurting my memory roses for my loss of my son... however after watching this I'm now worry free and ready to tackle my out of control roses
This was the most informative rose pruning video I’ve yet to see. And thank you so much for the follow up. Not many people do that and it’s really the best part of gardening. Seeing what you did making a difference! So much good content. Thank you again.
This is the most comprehensive guide I've seen on pruning and how the climbing rose forms its flowers and buds. Thank you for taking the time to make this!!
@@asyanovikov4749 I had a small running rosebush about 12in, I kept it in baby. I don't know what to do with my rose that I kept for years I had it moved and now I only have two stocks in the middle of my yard and at the end of one about 4 ft about end of one is Roses coming up how should I do with it mess with it fix it do you understand what I'm trying to say do you tip do you understand what I'm trying to say do you understand what I'm trying to say
I really appreciate the before and after - seeing all those blooms that was promised when the plant was taken down to the bare cane. It’s really reassuring to a newbie.
I just want to say thank you for creating and sharing this content. Because of this video I have had HUGE success with my climbing roses. Last year I had maybe 2 bloom stalks, but this year after following your guidance - at least 50 per plant. Its really creating the showy display & privacy screen I was looking for.
I have seen many "educational" videos and this surpasses them all. Well done on not only telling but explaining the procedure of pruning with clear, professional video.
I followed this tutorial last year. It was the first time I bothered to learn about pruning climbing roses. I was so glad I did. I got a nice solid section of blooming roses. Now I'm revisiting this for my second year of pruning, and very excited to see this summer's blooms, with the canes extending further up my arbor.
Thank goodness you added the results into the video. I am a complete novice when it comes to roses and only just figured out today that i had a climbing rose. I've been living here for 11 years and I kept pruning it back just to get it out of the way. I had no idea I could shape it like this. Its planted on the corner of my pergola so I could get it cover 2 different walls. It's going to take a few years to get it back to where I want it now.. thank you for this video
This is the best climbing rose pruning demo I’ve seen. Thank you! Clearly you’re an expert but not everybody know how to explanation things so clear. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for a wonderful lesson on pruning a rose. I subscribed to your channel. I have more than 400 roses and a lot of experience in growing, but your channel is a godsend for me. Spasbo.
Thank you so much for this comprehensive tutorial video! I am really curious about the kind of climbing rose you showed in the video, and I would love to plant one in my garden. Also, is it hardy in zone 5 or 6?
Truly appreciate this video. Not only does it give good, clear directions, the follow-up from month to month makes ALL the difference. I know it isn't easy to shoot across the whole course of a growing season but it's a huge bonus so we can all actually see the advantage of this method. I'm not so sure the PRUNE acronym works, but I don't much care. The advice is right-on. I'm going to follow it with my New Dawn roses.
Love the before and after approach - the secret of a convincing instructional video. I think you under-emphasized the reasoning behind removal of fallen debris and leaf litter: it harbors and propagates infectious disease with a HUGE bioload to jumpstart disease in Spring.
I really wish I had watched this video last year when I started to train my roses. So many mistakes I could have avoided! What a great video thank you.
This is such a great guide.Good to see the new growth after pruning as helps reinforce the reasoning behind the way the plant is pruned. I've watched a lot of pruning videos and this one is the best.Thank you.
Thank you for this tutorial. I’ve watched it twice.. and will watch again. WHEN do we prune? You said things like “come Spring”, so I’m assuming winter? I’m in zone 4. We don’t prune our shrub roses until the forsythia blooms. Same rule for climbers? I have 2 Eden climbers on the posts of my entry. People stop to comment... they are amazing, but I see I need to clear out much. Also, they are growing vertically, so that changes things a bit. Thank you!
Early spring is the best time to prune your climbers to this extent. Check out our care article on pruning roses that climb! www.heirloomroses.com/info/care/how-to/prune-roses-that-climb/
This is most excellent!!! Thank you so much! I would have loved to have heard the exact time you were going this pruning too....but I can google that. Love seeing the follow-up shots too -- inspires us! :-)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of climbing roses, especially the spectacular results! Do you also have a video for a timeline when and how you care, feed, prune your roses?
We don't have a video on that specific topic, however you can view the care articles we have available on our website that talk about all of those topics you mentioned! www.heirloomroses.com/info/care/how-to/
This is a really great video because the steps are clear, specific, and manageable. I just came back into the house after putting the P, r, u, and n steps into practice. The mess I had before now looks clean and ready for spring. Can't wait for Step "e", though I also enjoyed the first four since I now had a plan! Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Outstanding reference video for any person about to prune their own climbing rose. I especially appreciate seeing the fruits of your labor, Ben, when all those gorgeous blooms come in. Really well done!
I have a New Dawn bush that's 2-3 years old and it has never been pruned (novice rose bush owner). I wanted to prune it this year, but I'm afraid it might be too late? It's early spring (mid April, zone 7a) and it has a ton of foliage; can I still prune or should I wait for fall or late winter of next year? TYVM for your help!
Thank you! With this information I can take my New Dawn rose off my husband's Public Enemy List. It has survived his "sneak" trimming for about 18 years and my uninformed efforts to tame it as well. Hoping by this time next year it will be much better behaved.
Wow! Great video. Years ago had a climbing rose over an arbor just use to cut it williy nilly. Now downsized buying a climbing rose for 2 tall trellises. This was very informational. Bought a Stargazer Pretty in Pink Eden rose going to intertwine with a clematis. See what happens. Your climbing roses are beautiful. Had to replay that part to look at them. Gorgeous!
I rewatch this video annually Thank you! I inherited a climbing rose and had no idea what it was and was destroying it. It thrived this year and I’m following your lead again this fall
This is the best video I have ever watched! You made everything make so much sense! And can we talk about those results at the end!!! I LOVE IT! I cannot wait to train my roses this way! Thank you so much! I look forward to watching more of your videos! I learned so much!!💕💕💕
This was the very best video I've seen on pruning climbing roses. Thank you so much for all of the helpful and detailed information. I feel empowered to tackle this project now :) Also, that Eden rose is next on my list. What a beauty! Eden is my daughter's middle name.
Spot on Ben, I don't know if you are a teacher, have taught in the past but I can assure as teacher trainer I give you full marks. Now retired and gardening, I am very much the type who goes out and buys what he likes and half of it dies. Two years ago bought a load of climbing roses and just like a bunch of kids with a teacher who can't control they are all over the place with just a few roses at the long ends. Brilliant idea of acronym PRUNE often used many of them in my time and only after 15 mins I feel confident now lockdown where I live is over, tomorrow off down the garden centre to get some clippers and tie backs.
Thank you Ben for the clearest direction for pruning climbing roses I have ever seen or heard. I’ve been a member of a Rose Society for over 20 years with Master Gardeners and have never heard such easy to follow instructions. I have about 300 plus rose bushes and just 4 climbers. Is it too late now to tackle pruning the climbers (April 13, 2020) in Southern Calif. about 7 miles inland from the ocean? All my other rose bushes were pruned in late January and are just beginning to bloom. A little slow with all the rain we’ve had and are still receiving. Your climbers look amazingly breathtaking! 💐 Thank you so much for your clear explanation. Stay well and happy gardening.
I really love my Eden rose that I bought online from heirloom roses. It bloomed so beautifully in its first year although only for a flush of blooms in early summer. I hope to start training it on my fence this year. This video was very helpful thank you!
I am a first time rose grower here in the UK. I have watched countless videos and read as many books about training and pruning climbing roses. You have explained the process in simple terms and are by far the very best video tutorial I have seen. 🙂
I must agree! Planted my first 2 climbers last summer here in Finland. It's always usefull to learn how and WHY ☺👍
Agree!
Wish there was an "after" video
We saw it in bloom at the end but it was only short , blink and you missed it 😂.
I agree with you 150% I about to plant 2 climbing roses and I got all info I needed
I followed this video few months ago , and did my climbing roses like this , now I can tell they are coming new branches , I hope I get a lot of blooms this year .
Awesome video.. super instructional, the two 8 weeks later clips are what do it for me, proving the theory 100%. Many thanks! :)
Absolutely brilliant, best pruning tutorial I found.
that cutting/snipping sound, .......its so so satisfying to listen to.
Brilliant.Best lesson in climbing rose pruning .Very informative and good explanation of what to aim for and how to do it with confidence.
That came out beautiful! 😍 Great tutorial. This is my climbers second year grown from root last year. I know I'm very late getting to pruning and training, but hopefully will get to it in the next week.
Thank you so much! Please let us know how your climbing roses do this season, and happy gardening!
I really appreciate the concise clear presentation on training climbing roses. Such a great help! Thank you.
This has been my bible on how to handle my climbing rose. I may just finally see a wall covered in blooms next yr! Thank you.
Very nice tutorial! I love how they bloomed and I think they turned out just beautiful ❤️

It intuitively seems like with that shape the main canes would go vertical & everything would grow out from there to cover your arch. Just guessing.
@@wildflowersmilkhoney503 yes, but the whole POINT of every vid is to train your main canes HORIZONTALLY.

Wowowow! How many years though does it take to get that big?
It can take several years for a rose to grow full size; Eden can reach about 6 - 10 ft in height once it is full-grown.
Thanks you for this video. I now know more about climbing roses. I live in San Diego California. I just bought a climbing rose. When should i start pruning my rose? Winter?
What an awesome tutorial! What is the name of the rose? I'm checking your website but not sure which one it is. Thank you!
god bless.you this.years
So much detailed instructions the best of all. Thank you. Do you have Cornelia rose that I can buy.
Or any variety that is close to Cornelia rose. Hope to get some answers from you.
Do you untie and prune your climbing roses every year? After pruning do you reposition your main canes? How do you decide which main canes to keep?
Wonderfully informative video, thank you! I have a new bare root eden climber coming to me this spring, and am wondering if you would recommend bending the main canes along my fence as they grow, even though it's only year 1? Would it be better to let the main canes focus on putting on some length this year (growing straight up, without expending energy on lateral growth), then bending them to my fence for year 2 blooms?

Hi, thanks for the video, what kind of wire/trellis can I use for training climbing roses up a fence
Any wire trellis, which is sturdy and has enough room for the rose to grow will work!
That is amazing. Thank u.
I planted a CL lavender crush last year. Should I be pruning already given it is still growing main canes and is less than a foot tall?
You could do some light pruning with dead heading, but there should be no need for a harsh prune. I hope this helps! 🌹
wonderful, thank you !@@heirloomroses
can I do this early spring before growth starts? Or is late fall the best and only time? I didn't do it last fall so I am hoping to do it when the snow is gone mostly, like mid April here in Canada
Nevermind I asked too early, you answer it end of video. Best instructional video. We owe you.
Thank you for a very good instruction.!When is a good time to prune the climbing rose?
Late February is a great time to prune!
@@heirloomroses thanks!
Ok but then how do you protect all of those canes and the plant for over wintering?
Here is a link with our recommendations for protecting roses in the winter. heirloomroses.com/blogs/how-to-articles/protecting-roses-for-winter
Great video! I have a couple of questions. Where did you get your trellis for the climbing rose ? What kind of trellis do you advise to buy for a climbing rose up against a wooden fence and how far from the wooden fence should the trellis be placed? Thank you!

Hello sir, will roses die if they are exposed to sunlight for more than 6 hours? I live in South Carolina and just bought roses from HR. I really want to be successful in growing roses. Thank you
Hello! Your rose should be fine with more than 6 hours of sunlight; just be sure to constantly water it according to how hot it is.
How do you know if you have a climbing rose? I have several that grow very long stems and only have a single rose or a cluster at the end of each stem. Would these work as climbers? Thanks!!!

My climbing roses are growing on mesh archways so they must have height. How to I achieve height to cover the archway but still get good flowers?
What happens if you pruned the main cane of a climbing rose. Does it grow back?
Although it is not the best to prune the main cane, there is no need to worry. The rose will grow back a main cane!
When do I do this? In the fall? Spring? Right now, in August?
Early spring, right when your plant starts showing the smallest signs of new growth, is the best time to prune! In the PNW, that is typically around the end of February or early March for us.

We do have several climbing varieties that will thrive in zone 10, including Eden. It all just depends on the health of your soil and that the plant is getting the nutrients it needs to grow strong.
I live in southeastern Michigan. Should I be trying to prune my climbing rose in February ? I noticed there were leaves on the canes you were pruning. The leaves don't appear on my rose until maybe mid april.
Timing your pruning around when you start to see signs of new growth is a good rule of thumb!

We recommend pruning climbers in the spring before new shoots appear.

Thank goodness you added the results into the video. I am a complete novice when it comes to roses and only just figured out today that i had a climbing rose. I've been living here for 11 years and I kept pruning it back just to get it out of the way. I had no idea I could shape it like this. Its planted on the corner of my pergola so I could get it cover 2 different walls. It's going to take a few years to get it back to where I want it now.. thank you for this video
This is the best climbing rose pruning demo I’ve seen. Thank you! Clearly you’re an expert but not everybody know how to explanation things so clear. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for a wonderful lesson on pruning a rose. I subscribed to your channel. I have more than 400 roses and a lot of experience in growing, but your channel is a godsend for me. Spasbo.

thank you for showing the follow up!!
This is comprehensive and gives me a great road map for saving and supporting my 30+ years old Banksia Rose. Oh, my! Thank you, thank, you, thank you.
Thank you so much for this comprehensive tutorial video! I am really curious about the kind of climbing rose you showed in the video, and I would love to plant one in my garden. Also, is it hardy in zone 5 or 6?
This is our Eden climber, and it is hardy down to zone 5!
Truly appreciate this video. Not only does it give good, clear directions, the follow-up from month to month makes ALL the difference. I know it isn't easy to shoot across the whole course of a growing season but it's a huge bonus so we can all actually see the advantage of this method. I'm not so sure the PRUNE acronym works, but I don't much care. The advice is right-on. I'm going to follow it with my New Dawn roses.
Love the before and after approach - the secret of a convincing instructional video. I think you under-emphasized the reasoning behind removal of fallen debris and leaf litter: it harbors and propagates infectious disease with a HUGE bioload to jumpstart disease in Spring.
I really wish I had watched this video last year when I started to train my roses. So many mistakes I could have avoided! What a great video thank you.
This is such a great guide.Good to see the new growth after pruning as helps reinforce the reasoning behind the way the plant is pruned. I've watched a lot of pruning videos and this one is the best.Thank you.
Thank you for this tutorial. I’ve watched it twice.. and will watch again. WHEN do we prune? You said things like “come Spring”, so I’m assuming winter? I’m in zone 4. We don’t prune our shrub roses until the forsythia blooms. Same rule for climbers? I have 2 Eden climbers on the posts of my entry. People stop to comment... they are amazing, but I see I need to clear out much. Also, they are growing vertically, so that changes things a bit.
Thank you!
Early spring is the best time to prune your climbers to this extent. Check out our care article on pruning roses that climb! www.heirloomroses.com/info/care/how-to/prune-roses-that-climb/
This is most excellent!!! Thank you so much! I would have loved to have heard the exact time you were going this pruning too....but I can google that. Love seeing the follow-up shots too -- inspires us! :-)
Amazing!!! Thank you so much. There are very few of these kind of videos that do a follow up on the plants too
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of climbing roses, especially the spectacular results! Do you also have a video for a timeline when and how you care, feed, prune your roses?
We don't have a video on that specific topic, however you can view the care articles we have available on our website that talk about all of those topics you mentioned! www.heirloomroses.com/info/care/how-to/

wondereful guideline. The roses are amazing. And the rosarian too.
This is a really great video because the steps are clear, specific, and manageable. I just came back into the house after putting the P, r, u, and n steps into practice. The mess I had before now looks clean and ready for spring. Can't wait for Step "e", though I also enjoyed the first four since I now had a plan! Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Wow. One of the best videos I have seen. And the result, amazing! Thank you!
Great Video! I really appreciate how thorough you were explaining the prune then you followed up with the bloom progressions. Thank you!
Outstanding reference video for any person about to prune their own climbing rose. I especially appreciate seeing the fruits of your labor, Ben, when all those gorgeous blooms come in. Really well done!
So helpful and especially love the follow up at the end! Thank you for including that!
I have a New Dawn bush that's 2-3 years old and it has never been pruned (novice rose bush owner). I wanted to prune it this year, but I'm afraid it might be too late? It's early spring (mid April, zone 7a) and it has a ton of foliage; can I still prune or should I wait for fall or late winter of next year? TYVM for your help!
We would recommend waiting until next Spring. It won't hurt it to wait another year.
@@heirloomroses Thought your recommendation was mid-late winter rather than spring ?
I would hate to paint, replace or do any work on that deck. Damn
Thank you! With this information I can take my New Dawn rose off my husband's Public Enemy List. It has survived his "sneak" trimming for about 18 years and my uninformed efforts to tame it as well. Hoping by this time next year it will be much better behaved.
Wow! Great video. Years ago had a climbing rose over an arbor just use to cut it williy nilly. Now downsized buying a climbing rose for 2 tall trellises. This was very informational. Bought a Stargazer Pretty in Pink Eden rose going to intertwine with a clematis. See what happens. Your climbing roses are beautiful. Had to replay that part to look at them. Gorgeous!
Thanks for your great tips. 👌❤️😊🌹🌹🌹
I rewatch this video annually Thank you! I inherited a climbing rose and had no idea what it was and was destroying it. It thrived this year and I’m following your lead again this fall
This is the best video I have ever watched! You made everything make so much sense! And can we talk about those results at the end!!! I LOVE IT! I cannot wait to train my roses this way! Thank you so much! I look forward to watching more of your videos! I learned so much!!💕💕💕
This was the very best video I've seen on pruning climbing roses. Thank you so much for all of the helpful and detailed information. I feel empowered to tackle this project now :)
Also, that Eden rose is next on my list. What a beauty! Eden is my daughter's middle name.
I really appreciate this, we have a lot of old overgrown climbers, now I know what to do. Thank you!
Spot on Ben, I don't know if you are a teacher, have taught in the past but I can assure as teacher trainer I give you full marks. Now retired and gardening, I am very much the type who goes out and buys what he likes and half of it dies. Two years ago bought a load of climbing roses and just like a bunch of kids with a teacher who can't control they are all over the place with just a few roses at the long ends. Brilliant idea of acronym PRUNE often used many of them in my time and only after 15 mins I feel confident now lockdown where I live is over, tomorrow off down the garden centre to get some clippers and tie backs.
Thank you Ben for the clearest direction for pruning climbing roses I have ever seen or heard. I’ve been a member of a Rose Society for over 20 years with Master Gardeners and have never heard such easy to follow instructions. I have about 300 plus rose bushes and just 4 climbers. Is it too late now to tackle pruning the climbers (April 13, 2020) in Southern Calif. about 7 miles inland from the ocean? All my other rose bushes were pruned in late January and are just beginning to bloom. A little slow with all the rain we’ve had and are still receiving.
Your climbers look amazingly breathtaking! 💐
Thank you so much for your clear explanation. Stay well and happy gardening.
I really love my Eden rose that I bought online from heirloom roses. It bloomed so beautifully in its first year although only for a flush of blooms in early summer. I hope to start training it on my fence this year. This video was very helpful thank you!
