Thank you, great video! I've got to do it this weekend as the weather is promising to be good. My Sheila's Perfume rose especially has grown very tall and towering above my head. I have to drastically reduce it or I won't be able to smell any of the lovely flowers.
Thank you very much for watching! Glad to hear you enjoyed it. It's all very simple really. I still have my climbing roses to prune and I'm feeling that nagging countdown clock beginning to ring! But, I'm writing this at 3:35am and lack of sleep and sharp bladed are bad mix!
This is great, thanks so much! I planted a new climbing rose last July - would you recommend pruning it this year or waiting until it's more established?
Very welcome! I like to make sure climbing roses have good strong canes that will form the permanent structure of the rose. So I would prune out any weak growth.
Tie the strongest growth to canes or wires. Spread them out in a fan. You’ll have lots of flowering sideshoots off any horizontal and angled stems.
