Omgosh I just learned so much in one video. I'm new to roses, in year 3 & people can make this so complicated. This video answers a dozen questions for me!!
Thank you for this great information on deadheading roses. I never knew you had to deadhead roses so they will bloom all season. I will be deadheading this weekend.
Such a great video. Trying my Hand at my first climbing rose. Your videos have been a tremendous help. I’m hoping that the next year will bring a lot more growth. Thanks for sharing your rose knowledge. 👍🌹
I enjoyed this video. I found the climber info especially helpful as I dont usually grow them but my The Ingenious Mr Fairchild has decided that's his growth style he has chosen here in North Florida. I feel more confident in grooming it now.
Just a quick question. I bought a potted Rambling Rosie and planted this month. It had many main canes, it is a monster but before training it on an obelisk I cut come of the main canes and left only 3 main canes. Did I mess up or is it ok to cut them before it starts climbing over obelisk. I tied the main canes and laterals on a 45 degree.
What if i cut main cane on climbing rose ( didnt had enough knowlege). Will it grow new ones? This season instead of climbing i have bush rose and milion lateral stems🙈
My husband passed away in February and I am looking after his lovely roses. I found it quite upsetting but I can now control myself. I would be grateful if you can direct me prepare the roses for the winter, thank you. Karen x
Hi Karen. Sorry to hear about your husband but lovely that you are looking after his roses. I don't have videos on winter protection but I suggest you join my Facebook Discussion Group called Paul Zimmerman Roses Gardening. There are a lot of experienced rose growers in your climate with practical experience. Just ask to join, answer the questions and we'll admit you.
Hi there. It's a "long reach cut and hold pruner". www.bigfrogsupply.com/products/corona-lr-3460-long-reach-cut-n-hold-pruner-red?variant=30277642682464¤cy=USD&gclid=Cj0KCQjwof6WBhD4ARIsAOi65aitkl65ff85u19Kz7iUovMSPN1Qrwi0hxcpuSPhKo8LrLb2GPvnFAwaAuNJEALw_wcB
I enjoyed this video and the rose gardener jokes very much. I have proudly acquired a total of 14 roses after 6 lockdowns in Melbourne, Australia. Group of climbers, floribunda and David Austen roses. This entire video will be useful for me down the line.
Paul I've watched your videos over as over and it's getting easier now haha. My question may sound stupid but if you say never cut a main cane on a climbing rose. How do you dead head the flowers on the end? Or are there not any on the ends.. Also I have cut a main cane 😳. Way before I saw your videos.. Will it ever grow back? The laterals on the main canes are actually bigger and thicker than some of my main canes
Great questions. Yes, you can cut flowers off the end. I was referring to cutting a main cane very low. The one you cut shouldn't hurt the rose. It will send other canes up to replace it. When I have thick laterals I often "turn" them into main canes and tie them against the structure.
@@Paulzimmermanroses so helpful thank you. This rose is a big one for me to manage as a novice (the generous gardener David Austin) and its sent huge laterals off this year. Far too many more than I need but I have still only got 2 good main canes coming out the bottom since last year. The extra canes coming from the ground have had to be cut out as they are extremely thin and would struggle to hold anything. But if you say I can tie the laterals in then this helps me a lot to cover the space where main canes have failed to grow. I can turn nearly all the huge laterals into main canes. A massive Thanks Paul!
Clear, precise, informative, and just in time. I need those long reach pruners. My only climber is on an arch that goes down a slight slope. No way to safely reach the top. I will be ordering them today. Thank you for making it simple for us.
I learnt so much. It was a fabulous video. You are a great teacher. I love your videos/tutorials. We’re so blessed to have access to so many experts. Love UA-cam!
Thank you for your videos. I have a question about climbing roses. My climber had flowers on the top of main kane. Can I deadhead them or shouldn't deadhead main kane?
Informative as always, Paul! I live in Santa Monica, CA, and can enjoy a longer rose-growing season in containers on my balcony without frost. If I continue to deadhead throughout the year, will I exhaust my roses? Do I need to stop deadheading at some point to trigger dormancy? If so, when? Thanks, Paul!
When I lived in Los Angeles we would prune our roses in late December. That forced a dormant period. That worked well. Stopping deadheading in your climate will not trigger dormancy. Without a true winter you won't have a dormant period.
Really excellent, thank you. Question: I have a newly planted climbing rose, currently a couple of feet tall that has clusters of blooms. Should I take the whole head off once it has flowered or just deadhead individual flowers. If I take off the whole head, the nearest five leaf or even 4 leaf is halfway down the stem so I will be taking off a lot of height. I have read elsewhere not to do this to a new climbing rose as it needs to put on height in the first couple of years. I would like your opinion please.
@@Paulzimmermanroses Thank you so much for your prompt reply. Really appreciated. I had previously searched the internet and been unable to find an answer.
What about once blooming roses? Should you deadhead them or just let them set hips? I have an unknown once blooming Old English style blooms rose. It grows all spring new growth. Then flowers. Then it starts growing new canes again. Even if I leave the hips. It's now 4 years old. And huge. Almost 10ft tall canes and over 8ft wide. And it shoots runner canes upwards of 3ft away from the base up.
@@Paulzimmermanroses I've actually never cut it back. I believe it's a once-booming climber. It grows really really tall leggy canes. It arches over and shoots laterals off of the main canes. and with the weight of the flowers it makes it Cascade down like a waterfall in the center of a pond that shoots up. It's really pretty when it flowers heavily heavily scented. The only thing I've ever done is cut Deadwood out. Because it doesn't Bloom on new wood at all it only blooms on 2nd year wood.
@@Paulzimmermanroses I've posted it everywhere to try to get it ID. But to no avail. I guess I'll have to use DNA when it's readily available to the public.
Wow! You make it so easy to understand. You are a GREAT teacher. Thank you Paul
You are very welcome!

Always learn something from Paul. Says it clear and precise.
I appreciate that!
The best video I've seen on deadheading and I've watched a lot. Very informative
Wow, thank you!

Unless your obelisk is really big a rambler might be too much for it. What varieties did you buy?
Loved watching you. You're a natural. Witty charming funny insightful and a joy to watch abd listen too. X

It will grow new ones.
Thanks for this Video Paul! Would you have a link or model name of the Corona clipper?

I’m gonna need that nifty tool to trim my climbing roses. What is it called exactly, please?
Generally it's called a Long Reach Pruner.

@@Paulzimmermanroses well I deadheaded the roses and they look so much better. (clearing up tomorrow lol)
thank you for your lesson, though I am from south east asia that have two season rainy and summer.
You're welcome. That's challenging growing conditions.
learn something new every day and i know how to deadhead my new floribunda roses
Great
Your videos are so clear and helpful. Thanks!
Glad you like them!
hi thank you for the info ,what is the name of the cutter to reach high flowers please
Hi there. It's a "long reach cut and hold pruner". www.bigfrogsupply.com/products/corona-lr-3460-long-reach-cut-n-hold-pruner-red?variant=30277642682464¤cy=USD&gclid=Cj0KCQjwof6WBhD4ARIsAOi65aitkl65ff85u19Kz7iUovMSPN1Qrwi0hxcpuSPhKo8LrLb2GPvnFAwaAuNJEALw_wcB
What do you do when a bud is facing toward the middle??
I assume you mean a bud eye. I would suggest keep going down the cane until you find one that does not.
how to grow roses from seeds. please reply back????
I've never done it but I suggest you google it. There is some good information out there on it.
Excellent and so clear and understandable! Thanks
You're very welcome!

You'll love them.
Thank you for the great videos. Love the helpful information. I do have a question. Is it hard to grow roses from seed? Many Thanks in advance🌹
Some are harder than others but it can be done. That's what rose breeders do all the time with their crosses.
Clear, precise, informative, and just in time.

Love the video. I already pruned the main canes in some of the climbing roses. What shall I do next?
Nothing. Let the rose start to put out new ones. It will grow back in.
Great refresh on the basics. Sadly, I just had to do the invasion of the thrips deadhead. They are merciless 😭
Sorry to hear that. They can be brutal.
Very informative information for someone knew to growing climbing roses. I need that tool for reaching!
Glad you enjoyed it and it is a great tool!
Your explanation is excellent and to point Sir! I couldn't resist to subscribe!!

Thank you for your videos. I have a question about climbing roses. My climber had flowers on the top of main kane. Can I deadhead them or shouldn't deadhead main kane?
You need to train the main canes sideways as much as possible. That will produce laterals. But you can cut the flowers on the top of the main cane.
@@Paulzimmermanroses thank you very much for your answer to my question. I got it!!

Take off the whole head. Climbing roses will begin to put out their true climbing canes during their first year.

I don't deadhead spring flowering roses. Better to let them set hips. If you want to cut it back right after it flowers is the time to do so.

Then I would leave it alone. Maybe take out an old cane now and then.
I saw some photos from you on my group page but no closer shots of the flowers. Do you have any?
