Excellent tutorial, so informative and knowing the why makes it even more enjoyable. So glad to have found you on UA-cam and every video brings so much joy. Thank you for the time and generosity in sharing your knowledge with us.
Oh my dear, the Lady of Shallot is on my wish list alomg with Queen of Sweden. Am currently awaiting delivery of two climbers-Pretty in Pink Eden Climbers and Fruity Petals. Very Excited. 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Olga, a huge thank you! I've been growing roses a long time and been lucky most bloom well but I've never seen an instruction video so well done. New happy subscriber. 😊 🌹
I needed this video - I have a climber which is far too big for its boots I bought it about 5 years ago it was about 18" tall it's now like a triffid 😮 am definitely going to have a go at trimming it back 🌹🌹🌹 it has beautiful white roses - am in UK we have just had the rainiest July ever 🙄 but the garden is blooming! 🪻🌻🌼🍂🍁🌿🌷
Olga, your videos are absolutely awesome…so very informative and the music is amazing! Makes me feel so happy. This is the first/second year that I am growing roses so I’m still a newbie and have lots to learn.
Thank you so much for this beautiful video! My main stems keep producing blooms at their tips ;( I guess I'm getting behind with their training. Alas, I will need to deadhead them ;(
This for myself is divinely providential, as im only growing my first roses ( bare root in Brisbane Queensland Australia) right now and I was counting leaves yesterday on all nine roses. Its been 2 full weeks. So thank you. Most are 5 leaves, one that came with smaller stems a Kordes Perfuma has 3 leaves. But I have another two of that particular rose, Gratin Diana with 5. I wonder if I can find in a Kordes, a strong Fragrant Miniature rose at all! I have just planted bare root three Kordes dawrf Fairy Red in the one large flatish pot. I cant wait till they pop their little rose buds out! I have them sitting high above the fish pond. Being in a semi-tropical climate, the colour will be richly appreciated with the other colours there. Being, Birds of Paradise & the deep dark green foliage growing too.
I keep all my small garden tools in it. Since our garage is occupied with kids bikes and skates, ball and scooters. Actually it is very convenient to have right in the middle of the garden, quick to get to.
Olga, I love your videos. I am fairly new to climbing roses and understand the concept of pruning only the laterals. I am confused about the tip of the main cane which produces blossoms. Are those blooms to be headheaded? Will this stop the growth of the main cane? I have watched many pruning videos and no one seems to cover this part of it.
I would love an answer to this question too as my roses are very young and are only blooming on the tip of the main cane as I'm still training them vertical.
Olga this is a fantastic video thank you. I now feel safe to prune mine. I have had the generous gardener for over 3 years now. Its had 2 main canes only and hasn't produced any more . But... I chopped a main cane 2 years ago buy mistake and the laterals have turned themselves into main canes if that makes sense. I also trained a main cane at a 35 degree angle 🤣. Which seemed a great idea at the time haha. The laterals are 2 meters high. Can I chop these 2 meter laterals down quite low? I was told to cut one of my main canes out to promote new growth but I'm glad I didn't until i got your advive..sorry for the long message but you are my best teacher 😊
Hi Davena, those laterals, if we let them take over, will turn into monsters. I cut them right at the beginning. If yours are in "monster" stage already, I would see if I can make out of them main cain extension, (optional, if longer canes are needed), or just trim them short. Don't worry, your rose will be fine with it.
@OlgaCarmody thank you olga. Yes already in monster stage. Most of the laterals have took over but only having 2 main canes in 3 years I'm glad they filled a space. I may chop them hard in winter but for now they will definitely be cut a lot shorter after they have flowered. I struggle with this rose as I didn't train it right in its first year. In all honesty I didn't have the room for this rose. It was the first rose I ever bought and I didn't read the height. I had no idea what I was doing haha..thank you x
Thank you. What to do with new crazy growth? Mercilessly trim it away. I know, cringe, but the more you do it, the more you realize that it is just necessary. If you have too much to trim, maybe your climber is too big for the space you gave it...
Olga, please advise how to deal with thrips!! I think I brought them from the nursery with the new roses I bought. Now my Olivia an Eden both have thrips 😭🙏🙏🙏
Gosh, those pests! The more I talk to different rosarians, the more I think that organics won't work on thrips. You have to do systemics on huge infestations. I really don't use systemics and can't advise on them. Do the research (I heard about Merit (imidacloprid), Conserve (spinosad), or Orthene (acephate). Again, don't rely on my info, do the research, what would be best to use and when. I also know that spring soil drench with systemic drench is better on beneficial bugs than foliar spraying.
Great video!! Thank you!
Dear Olga, thanks for the masterclass on rose pruning! Your selections are coming along beautifully!
Excellent tutorial, so informative and knowing the why makes it even more enjoyable. So glad to have found you on UA-cam and every video brings so much joy. Thank you for the time and generosity in sharing your knowledge with us.
You are welcome! Gardening is such a great hobby! And I am glad to share it with everyone.
This is the best explanation i have ever seen ,about roses.thank you
Best rose video I’ve seen. Thank-you and also for your obvious love of the garden and enthusiastic teaching style.
You are very welcome!
So glad to know why you should trim to five leaves. I have been doing this for years but had no ideal why.
Yes, not many books explain that rule of 5 leaves. Happy gardening!
Thank so much ! That was so informative. Many blessings to you and your family Olga.
God bless you too and happy gardening!
Excellent clear advice. Thanks you!
I’m happy with your instructions especially when the roses bloom in clusters.
Your masterclass will always be in my mind when I prune my beautiful The Generous Gardener.
Thank you oh so very much as always 🌹💚💚💚

Love your videos, I’m new to climbers and your videos are helping me so much! Quick question or observation…why don’t you wear any gloves? 😊
Very informative! I can’t keep my eyes off the little wooden house. What do you keep inside?
I keep all my small garden tools in it. Since our garage is occupied with kids bikes and skates, ball and scooters. Actually it is very convenient to have right in the middle of the garden, quick to get to.

Would the trimmed lateral stems be good prospects for propagation? Just getting started with roses, look forward to all of your videos!
That I don't know, I will do a research on it and will ask my friends who are growing roses for 45 years. Thanks!
This was excellent information!! So what do I do when 9 get a ton of new growth that is long and growing away from the trellis??

@@OlgaCarmody Thank you so much,Olga! I removed all buds and flowers. Now it’s time to decide what to poison them with.
Great tutorial! How old is your climber?
Around 10 years old!
