Hoe To Prune Overgrown Climbing Roses

Getting to grips with overgrown and neglected climbing roses can be a painful job, literally, and I have a whole wall of mixed climbing roses that were left at the end of last season.
January is a good time to get to grips with shaping, cleaning out all the deadwood, removing any crossing stems, and ensuring the support is adequate for the volume of rose.

Ahh! The snowdrops! They are just magical looking to me. Thank you for explaining about pruning the roses. I am totally clueless about growing them, so this video was quite interesting to see the process. I look forward to more updates along this part of your garden. Best wishes from Tennessee.💕

Thank u I needed this info for my roses! I love feeding the birds & I get many new seeded beautiful wild flowers and berry bushes they leave behind 😉 (I call them my little gifts from God) so I can relate with the blackberries invading my flower beds. I intentionally allow a lot of the blackberries to take over far away from the beds I maintain and it's created a nice blackberry picking border on the edge of the woods. They give me an amazing aroma when they bloom just like the roses and refeed the wildlife! So again, thank you, the proof is in the pudding and from your gorgeous flowers in the videos I can see you know what you're doing!
