Thank you Laura!! I wish i could show you how much you've taught me and how much better my life is because of it!!! I've gone through some hard times, but gardening and my cut flowers have given me the outlet and the hobby that has gotten me through those times! Please never change and remember how you've positively affected the lives of so many through gardening!! Thank you!! ❤️
I have a small lot with only roses and clematis, so I've been pruning roses for over a decade, but I have always found I can't get enough of Laura's clear tutorials. By far the clearest of them all.
I am SO grateful for all of your pruning videos. I already tackled my climbing rose this year with so much more confidence, thanks to you and your video from last year. 🥰
A David Austin climbing rose is on order and due to arrive in April. This was PERFECT! At 74 years old I'm doing a woodworking project and building the trellis, this is a first for me. Laura you are such an inspiration to us!
I’m so glad you cut the “wonky “ branch at the end it caught my eye immediately and I was like think I would have cut that one 😂 and then you did! I was like hmmmm maybe I could grow something like that because apparently we thinking alike 😊….ty for the video!
You are such a GREAT teacher! Thank you for always taking the time to fully explain. I know you could make quick work of these jobs but the effort you put into teaching us is so appreciated. I love this channel and look forward to your videos daily. 🤩
I was always hesitant about cutting large canes back,thinking I would kill that cane. But after watching your videos over the years has been so helpful for me to keep a huge pink heritage rose easier for me to maintain. I can actually get into the plant to choose what roses I want for a bouquet. I've followed how to dead head so I choose what direction I need the shoots to grow. It's still a tall rose bush,growing in a weeping willow shape. The branches I let hang over but far from the ground enough to keep any disease from splashing back up on it when I water. I learned to gently water only beneath my roses,feed them well with espoma rose food. Then once a week a water solvable fertilizer on all my plants except lavender. I have a more beautiful landscape now,not loosing plants and placing many more plants in an area if I go with taller plants in the back adding more to the front by size. I even planted Holly Hock up against the house behind the shrubbery, something I would never have thought of on my own. It's beautiful and brings so much color in summer. On front of my shrubs I brought our more space adding Hostas,corabells,and bubble gum pink petunias that grow around and carpets the area. Where it use to just be a hedge in front of the house now it's a display of color that even my husband compliments on all the time. Saying you should have done this years ago. But I didn't know. I have not an ounce of seeing things how it could look. So I copy some what of your designs. Of course I can't do as much,but I am adding every year. Just planted a flowering crabapple tree yesterday. Never knowing there were kinds that didn't drop crabapple in the fall,making a mess to clean up . I tell all my friends to join your channel. It's inspirational and learning. ❤
Laura, I was so excited to finally meet you at Andrews last week! You, your mom, and sister are all just amazing people! I work in Fruitland and have 2 acres in Star so I am a frequent shopper at Andrews. I can't tell you enough how helpful this video was for me. I planted 10 climbing roses 3 years ago that are finally putting on a lot of growth and need pruning. Every video you do is so helpful and motivating!
Thank you, laura. I planted a David Austin climbing rose to go across my fence. It took off last year and I was nervouse about pruning it back. I didn't know if I should cut off the limbs from the canes. I know this video may feel redundant to you but I'm so glad you took the time to show us your process. I feel more confident now to prune mine back. :)
I really enjoy pruning roses, it’s very meditative and satisfying. My mother taught me to prune them like this in autumn, and then lightly again with more precision in late winter - this prevents wind damage and overwintering of diseases, especially in our wet and windy Irish winters. I need more roses to prune!! 😆
I love ,love ,love those roses.... it's scary every year when I watch you prune...but then I remember you know what your doing !!they are so beautiful when they put on their show !!❤❤❤❤
It’s always helpful to learn even if you think you know it all.Roses are a gift that keeps on giving,but just like all life I find;you must nurture it. Laura you are such a gift to us,just like roses are gifts. Thanking God for you,and Arron,for his beauty is found in his creation and his grace is abundant,and sufficient.
Thanks Laura, excellent tutorial on climbers. It is helpful seeing the close ups and also showing how much you are cutting. I think the fear is too much will be cut and you will kill the rose, which you de-myth!🙂🌹
Thank you Laura for sharing Russell with us, he always brings a smile on my face with his bright orange color and face. Thank you for starting my day off great. Many blessings my friend
Very helpful. You explain so that it makes sense and I appreciate that. I can't wait to see those roses in bloom again. They were glorious this past summer. Have a blessed day everyone.
That’s so funny to me! I live near Laura and when I hear videos with birds from other parts of the country, I think they sound so much prettier than ours do.
Good Morning! 🌹 I do love roses & this video is a refresher for me! Also, I am enjoying the store! I have ordered several things! Thank you for creating the store, I am loving it!! 😃🌷✂️🌿💚
Got an arbor last year from my husband. The climbing rose I wanted was sold out for the year. But this year, I got my climbing rose!( Jackson and Perkins ) Its my first rose, my mother always had them. I got this yellow climbing rose in my parents memory. So excited…. You inspired me❤️
Laura, I could watch you do this all day! It's so very helpful to all of us! Thank you so much. I have a few roses that I was afraid to cut too much, and now I see the light and how much better they will look by taking these steps!
All of your instruction about roses have provided me with the courage to go beyond the "knock out" group. Nice roses but nothing like some of the cabbage roses. Thank you for all the information and demonstrations. The views of the newly budded willow through the arbor provided a beautiful portrait of you! Simply lovely.
Hi Laura! I don't have any roses, but love learning about them. They remind me of my Mother's rose garden & her loving care of the them. Your weeping willow is a beauty! 😊
Thank you so much for this! I appreciate how you showed detailed examples of what to look for as well as so many different ways we can train them to grow. I also like when you show you're "done" you also show how you go back when you find more to trim. Shows me it's okay to miss things and not be perfect!
Oh my gosh do the roses look so much better. Laura you have taught me so so much about gardening through the many years (since the beginning) of watching the you that I just want to say thank you thank you thank you! You are such a blessing to me and so many others! ❤️🌸🌼🌺🌷🫶
Laura, I review your show every year on cutting climbing roses. I’ve only had mine three years. This is the third year. I may be getting the hang of it I may not but the review is great. I’m glad you did it again I always learn something new when I see your shows, you have added so much to my garden in my life, I also have to know how beautiful the gold of the willow tree coming to life against that blue sky just made my heart sing! Thank you!
I planted two Polka climbing roses this last fall and I’m stoked to watch them grow!! These videos give me confidence that I’ll be ready when it’s time to prune! ☺️
Great rose pruning. You make it look so easy. They look great. Can hardly wait to see them in bloom they preform so beautiful. Thanks again for sharing this with us. Appreciated.💯💯💯🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thank you for doing an additional video. I know you did one a couple of years ago that I watched, but always need a refresher. It drives me nuts when content creators say "I have a video on that." There is absolutely no way I am going to look through hundreds of videos to find it.
Thank you Laura for showing us how to properly prune roses. They look great & will be absolutely gorgeous again when in full bloom in all their glory. Roses are my absolute favourite flowers.❤️
Thanks Laura, I really enjoyed this step by step instructions on trimming climbing roses. I have one year 3 climbing rose. My process will be more intentional.
Thank you for the pruning lesson. Love watching you teach. Unfortunately, I can’t grow regular roses here in Florida (only small knock outs). I remember how beautiful roses were as a child in Eastern Washington. 🌹 🌹
I am not a new gardener, but I learn so much from you each day. I just trimmed my climbing roses Princess Margerita, and hope I didn't go balastic. I removed quite a bit of the old growth and left just parts of the major canes, 2 year old rose.
That was very helpful. I especially appreciated the distinction you made between main canes and laterals. I always cut my climbing rose drastically, even though I read that it was not advisable. Glad to see that you do that too, and still have GORGEOUS roses.
Such a teaching moment. Thank you, Laura, for taking your time and showing us how to take care and prune our roses. You truly have been blessed with a gift. Thank you for sharing your gift
I remember a few years ago when those roses were making it a little difficult to walk through, so when I saw you cut out that last interior cane it was like watching you do what I was itching to do, lol. Thanks as always…I’m so wanting to get started here in the PNW and it looks like the coming weekend is finally our turning point.
Don’t know whose idea it was but love that while you are cleaning beds or pruning you dropped photos into the video that showed that bed last summer in full bloom. It was both beautiful and informative. Also could you elaborate on “clean your shears after cutting each cane”??
Laura, many thanks for your pruning videos. Having pruned my antique rose bushes much like you do, we went a step further and took some of the healthy cut canes and planted them in pots. Thrilled to see - after some time - that the canes are budding and healthy. Now where to plant them. 🤔 Blessings and love to you and family. Sherry 🥰 🙏 💞 💐
Good morning ❤was wondering if u could go a little more about pest and diseases problems for roses when u can save and when u should toss what to use ect.thanks for another helpful video
Love this type of video. Where I live we prune our roses either late January or mid February. I watched your older video for a refresher on pruning. I saw yesterday that my climbing roses are in full bud stage. It’s going to be a beautiful show. Thank you so much. ❤
Thank you for your detailed pruning of the climbing roses. I've watched this video a number of times already. Walking out front to my climbing Tess and back to watching. I planted the rose with the goal of it being a showcase climbing up a stone piller of our porch. With your guidence I have hope! ❤
Laura, you always explain pruning roses so good. Your roses are always gorgeous. I'm just not very good with roses, but I have 3 tiny rose bushes and I've had 2 of them for years, the 3 one is the biggest one. Lol😂 Thank you for sharing this with us.
What a timely video! I was/am heading out this afternoon to prune the climbing rose. I love your videos; you have renewed my love of gardening. I was taught at a young age by my grandfather to always cut on a slant, leaving the bud facing outward or in the direction you want the branch to grow. By leaving it flat across you are inviting insect growth and disease inside the cane, as well you don't have as much control of the direction of growth. As a postsctipt, I am 65 and my grandfather showed me how at 10.
Did my rose pruning 2 weeks ago. I was amazed at how much I remembered from your video last year. I have one step left, and I will get to done this weekend. I need to check branches that criss-cross. Looking forward to seeing howmuch better they will look. 🌹🌹🌹🌹
This was the best video about Pruning I have seen. I’m training Eden roses on a arbor. I got it last year so this will be the 1st full year come July. It is still small but has a lot of growth. I did minimal pruning and feeding today. I’m training mine in a “S” shape up the Arbour. Thanks so much for your help this video was very informative and the visual detail aspect was excellent. 😊
Spring quickly coming to Allen county Ohio. Cleaned and tidied my 8x12 greenhouse and planted a bunch of cool weather crops . I also planted my gathered cone flower and Holly hock seeds. I started those plants in May of 21 from seed and fall of 23 I have millions of seeds from 6 large plants each. I have big plans for those starts. I received my praire flower seeds from Ohio State last weekend and I'm making big plans in a large wild flower garden. I live spring with all its new beginnings
Thank you Laura! We *did* just move into a home that has a hugely overgrown hanging rose that arches over the front door! I feel much more confident about pruning after this video!
I admire your Collette roses every year and every year I promise myself to get some for my yard but I never do it. They are so absolutely stunning when leafed out and in bloom! Great video and I hope Samantha was ok after the tripod collision!
I love videos on all things roses! I have a total of 7 different ones, so I appreciate all the great info. I cut back right before winter and was scared I’d cut too much but oh my goodness! I can see all the buds and some are already in bloom. I’m even growing carrots 🥕 this year. I keep buying plants and figure I’ll find a spot😂. Excited to see how my trumpet tree does.
I also use my pruners as Laura does, to grab rose clippings, thus avoiding most of the thorns! My biggest issue is I want to keep too many of the smaller branches, but Laura's right....if you don't cut back, your whole rose stays too spindly. It's so useful to see that tip about noticing which way the buds are pointing, so you can manage the direction of growth....this is the level of detail that many of us miss, I think. Thank you, Laura!
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND WHAT YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS IS BEFORE MAKING CUTS. THIS WILL BE SO HELPFUL WHEN I PRUNE MY CLIMBING ROSES.
Thank you, thank you to the editor who’s changed back to the way Ken used to do the videos!! I don’t know if it’s because of my comment or not, but either way I am very thankful and fully enjoying the time length and speed of the fast forward sections with more normal speed parts throughout! 👏👌👍 Although I don’t grow roses, my daughter does so I forwarded this to her. I do enjoy looking at them even when they aren’t green or blooming because to me pruning is a step of faith that they will leaf out and display their beautiful flowers again! 💕😊
Thank you so much! I just moved into our first house and the previous owners had 2 climbing roses and (I think) some other rose bushes. This has helped a lot with spring right around the corner here in zone 5b
i just love getting the roses cleaned up and pruned every winter... i do a pretty hard prune every year and the plants seem to appreciate a fresh start.. roses are tough! great tips and excellent instructions as always... my advice, don't be too shy about it - the roses won't mind, haha... 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤
Sometimes your experience comes out without you even talking about it. I noticed today that you just throw your branches on the ground and rake them up at the end. I'm always so careful to put each branch in a trash can but as I watch you I realize, your method is so much more efficient.
I'm ready to completely change how I trim mine - to actually prune them instead. THANK YOU so much. I wondered why mine were not very prolific in blooming.
Good morning, Laura ☕️I’m so excited for this video even though I’m eagerly awaiting my very first David Austin Climbing Rose! So excited. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈🐈
I've watched many of your roses videos over the years (been here since you had about 60k subscribers!) but even in this one, I learned so many new things! I have been confident clipping my roses since finding your channel but I really value the knowledge you imparted in this one about the direction of the shoot! 🌹🥀🌹
I am so glad you took out that last rose branch! It was bugging me too! Thank you for this step by step on pruning the climbing roses. I have gotten the regular roses down pat, but the climbers have always given me difficulty, especially what to do with the top growth.
Thanks Laura..!!! I have a Louis Phillip climbing rose here in Southwest FLORIDA. It is Georgeous AND gets NO Black Spot fungus. (All roses get black spot in Florida). Smallish Double Maroon rose…!!! Blooms in waves. Highly recommended…!!!!
I am 77 years old (yesterday) and this will be my FIRST attempt at working in a yard and growing stuff will be my birthday gift to me. I have always shown allergic reactions to many things that grow outside but I LOVE beautiful yards and gardens and if not Now, When? I watched your video this morning from two years ago showing the Full Sun, Full Shade, and combo lists of Perennials. I think since it is my first attempt I would stick to perennials for expense reasons as hopefully, I won't kill them. My question is this. Could you recommend a few perennials for me as I live in Birmingham, Alabama and you are out on the west coast? Thank you. I love your show and you have inspired me to go out and try. I have learned to ride the lawn tractor after my husband passed away that year but he always did everything outside and I stared inside. It is all new but exciting. I only had three episodes last spring and summer with poisons of some sort that spread on me like wildfires. Hope to not get that again. Any suggestions are appreciated
Thank you Laura. So informative. I'm planning on adding a climbing rose to my landscape this season so the information in this video will be so helpful!
Hi Laura, thanks for the helpful video. I have read that you want to have your main canes go up the arbor on angles to encourage more lateral branching/blooms. Do you find that to be the case? Or maybe a better question, when first starting the rose on the arbor, do you focus at all on the angles your first main canes are when training them?

The garden cleanups and pruning are like a *sigh*....breathing easier and clean. The plants are so happy! A boost of new energy for them.
This has given me a little more confidence to trim my roses back further than I do now. Thank you!
You can cut roses to stumps and they survive
A David Austin climbing rose is on order and due to arrive in April. This was PERFECT! At 74 years old I'm doing a woodworking project and building the trellis, this is a first for me. Laura you are such an inspiration to us!

The rose pruning videos are always so helpful. Will you show the pruning of your Teasing Georgia?
Laura, I love watching you prune these roses. You always get the most beautiful results ❤️🍃🐈🍃🌹🍃🌹
Rose pruning is always a good reminder.
It all looks so neat. I was able to spend time most of yesterday cleaning beds off.😊
Got an arbor last year from my husband. The climbing rose I wanted was sold out for the year. But this year, I got my climbing rose!( Jackson and Perkins ) Its my first rose, my mother always had them. I got this yellow climbing rose in my parents memory. So excited…. You inspired me❤️

Laura, I review your show every year on cutting climbing roses. I’ve only had mine three years. This is the third year. I may be getting the hang of it I may not but the review is great. I’m glad you did it again I always learn something new when I see your shows, you have added so much to my garden in my life, I also have to know how beautiful the gold of the willow tree coming to life against that blue sky just made my heart sing!

Good Morning GA family. I was so excited to see a video this morning.
Thanks Laura, I really enjoyed this step by step instructions on trimming climbing roses. I have one year 3 climbing rose. My process will be more intentional.
Thank you for the pruning lesson. Love watching you teach.

This was the best video about Pruning I have seen. I’m training Eden roses on a arbor. I got it last year so this will be the 1st full year come July. It is still small but has a lot of growth. I did minimal pruning and feeding today. I’m training mine in a “S” shape up the Arbour. Thanks so much for your help this video was very informative and the visual detail aspect was excellent. 😊
Spring quickly coming to Allen county Ohio. Cleaned and tidied my 8x12 greenhouse and planted a bunch of cool weather crops . I also planted my gathered cone flower and Holly hock seeds. I started those plants in May of 21 from seed and fall of 23 I have millions of seeds from 6 large plants each. I have big plans for those starts. I received my praire flower seeds from Ohio State last weekend and I'm making big plans in a large wild flower garden. I live spring with all its new beginnings
Love roses. Thanks so much for the grooming lessons.
Ive hard pruned bush roses twice a year and had 3 bloomings per year..dead heading the blooms as required....roses really are resilient.
Thank you Laura! We *did* just move into a home that has a hugely overgrown hanging rose that arches over the front door! I feel much more confident about pruning after this video!
Yes! It is definitely helpful. Thank you for being so detailed, sequential, and realistic!
Great teaching video!
I admire your Collette roses every year and every year I promise myself to get some for my yard but I never do it. They are so absolutely stunning when leafed out and in bloom! Great video and I hope Samantha was ok after the tripod collision!
I love videos on all things roses! I have a total of 7 different ones, so I appreciate all the great info. I cut back right before winter and was scared I’d cut too much but oh my goodness! I can see all the buds and some are already in bloom. I’m even growing carrots 🥕 this year. I keep buying plants and figure I’ll find a spot😂. Excited to see how my trumpet tree does.
I also use my pruners as Laura does, to grab rose clippings, thus avoiding most of the thorns! My biggest issue is I want to keep too many of the smaller branches, but Laura's right....if you don't cut back, your whole rose stays too spindly. It's so useful to see that tip about noticing which way the buds are pointing, so you can manage the direction of growth....this is the level of detail that many of us miss, I think. Thank you, Laura!
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND WHAT YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS IS BEFORE MAKING CUTS. THIS WILL BE SO HELPFUL WHEN I PRUNE MY CLIMBING ROSES.
Thank you, thank you to the editor who’s changed back to the way Ken used to do the videos!! I don’t know if it’s because of my comment or not, but either way I am very thankful and fully enjoying the time length and speed of the fast forward sections with more normal speed parts throughout! 👏👌👍
Although I don’t grow roses, my daughter does so I forwarded this to her. I do enjoy looking at them even when they aren’t green or blooming because to me pruning is a step of faith that they will leaf out and display their beautiful flowers again! 💕😊
Aaron is editing videos right now until their new editor has chance to ramp up...
Thank you so much! I just moved into our first house and the previous owners had 2 climbing roses and (I think) some other rose bushes. This has helped a lot with spring right around the corner here in zone 5b
This video reminds me that I made the right decision of removing most of our roses. Adding so much extra time to do other things in the garden.
I love watching you prune roses. I am always unsure on how to do it so your videos really help! Thank you Laura! ❤
Excellent 🎉🎉🎉
I subscribed to your channel 😀 You have so much great content 🙏 Thank you for sharing..
Thanks for posting. I always learn from you but these steps make me feel confident.
i just love getting the roses cleaned up and pruned every winter... i do a pretty hard prune every year and the plants seem to appreciate a fresh start.. roses are tough! great tips and excellent instructions as always... my advice, don't be too shy about it - the roses won't mind, haha... 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤
Sometimes your experience comes out without you even talking about it. I noticed today that you just throw your branches on the ground and rake them up at the end. I'm always so careful to put each branch in a trash can but as I watch you I realize, your method is so much more efficient.
I'm ready to completely change how I trim mine - to actually prune them instead. THANK YOU so much. I wondered why mine were not very prolific in blooming.
Good morning, Laura ☕️I’m so excited for this video even though I’m eagerly awaiting my very first David Austin Climbing Rose! So excited. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈🐈
Thank you for the great advice you gave us all today on pruning our roses. So helpful. Can't wait to see your roses bloom it will be a beautiful show.
I've watched many of your roses videos over the years (been here since you had about 60k subscribers!) but even in this one, I learned so many new things! I have been confident clipping my roses since finding your channel but I really value the knowledge you imparted in this one about the direction of the shoot! 🌹🥀🌹
Always helpful! The more I watch the more that sinks in! 🌹🌹🌹
I am so glad you took out that last rose branch! It was bugging me too! Thank you for this step by step on pruning the climbing roses. I have gotten the regular roses down pat, but the climbers have always given me difficulty, especially what to do with the top growth.
Thanks Laura..!!! I have a Louis Phillip
climbing rose here in Southwest FLORIDA. It is Georgeous AND gets NO Black Spot fungus. (All roses get black spot in Florida). Smallish Double Maroon rose…!!! Blooms in waves. Highly recommended…!!!!
I am 77 years old (yesterday) and this will be my FIRST attempt at working in a yard and growing stuff will be my birthday gift to me. I have always shown allergic reactions to many things that grow outside but I LOVE beautiful yards and gardens and if not Now, When? I watched your video this morning from two years ago showing the Full Sun, Full Shade, and combo lists of Perennials. I think since it is my first attempt I would stick to perennials for expense reasons as hopefully, I won't kill them. My question is this. Could you recommend a few perennials for me as I live in Birmingham, Alabama and you are out on the west coast? Thank you. I love your show and you have inspired me to go out and try. I have learned to ride the lawn tractor after my husband passed away that year but he always did everything outside and I stared inside. It is all new but exciting. I only had three episodes last spring and summer with poisons of some sort that spread on me like wildfires. Hope to not get that again. Any suggestions are appreciated
Thank you Laura. So informative. I'm planning on adding a climbing rose to my landscape this season so the information in this video will be so helpful!
I’m looking forward to seeing that gorgeous rose bloom!
What a great video on trimming climbers! Thank you so much!
Hi Laura, thanks for the helpful video. I have read that you want to have your main canes go up the arbor on angles to encourage more lateral branching/blooms. Do you find that to be the case? Or maybe a better question, when first starting the rose on the arbor, do you focus at all on the angles your first main canes are when training them?
Great instructions and I love how reassuring you are. I have gotten very good with shrub roses, but climbing roses are my next thing.
You make it look so easy.. thanks for the great instructions. Awesome.
