- Pruning climbing roses can sometimes be intimidating. It's not. Nor is controlling it all season long to keep it tidy. This video shows you some simple techniques to get the most out of your climbing roses while keeping them under control.
Thank you for that! I was worried I may end up having my children kidnapped by my rose and would have to wait for pruning season to release them. Now I can rest assured that keeping the rose cut back is OK whenever I need to!
Great and glad it helped!
I fell in love with roses several years ago when I found over 30 roses in the overgrown yard of a house I was renting at the time. Now I own a house on a small lot and am starting to collect old roses. So far I've got 8. I've been gradually learning with books and trial and error. I think your videos will save me a lot of error. And I no longer think I am nuts for trying! My roses are beautiful, and now I know better how to keep them that way. Thanks.
"It now has been promoted. I dub thee Sir Main Cane..." XD
I have two New Dawn climbing roses that have gotten so out of control on the arbor that I was about to give up and dig them out. Thank you for this video! You spared their lives!
I love this presenter! Laughed and learned so much.
Thankyou so much for sharing your knowledge and experience.
You're welcome!
"Bless thee and all whom bloom upon thee" Great video! I didn't know you could change a lateral into a main cane.
Thanks and glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic. You are a gifted teacher and so knowledgeable. I would like to see the "after" of the pruning done here. Many thanks for explaining that there is not less of the rose, that's still all there, refreshed and ready to burst into bloom. Wonderful.
So nice of you
Thank you! My house with 3! old climbers are trying to devour me alive! Now Im ready for battle
You're welcome. I find when I'm working with the climbing roses which ones to promote just makes sense.
This was absolutely the best explanation on how to prune a climbing rose bush! I can't wait for the weekend so I can get out and get my 30+ year old climbing rose bush in shape for the blooming season! Thank You!!!
best 8 min introduction to controlling a climbing rose bush,good education with a chuckle along the way,good stuff Mr Zimmerman
Thanks for this it was really helpful and thank you for repeating the salient points about main canes and laterals.
Brilliant, to the point, clear, concise, nice to find a useful video on u tube.
ps like your sense of humour
hi!
that was beautiful..your videos are so easy and educative..i love the way you explain everything about roses..thankyou for the wonderful job..
thanking you
A Rose Guru! I've never been one before - thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful and your comment about understanding the basics is exactly what I'm hoping for. Now run with it!
Great instructional video. Love the humor also
I'm so glad. New Dawn is a lovely rose. Keep in mind you can keep trimming the laterals all season long to keep it under control.
Fantastic,I know now,Paul Zimmerman you have saved me from creating a mess.Thanks very much.I am getting climbers so needed this prep.
Great. Once you know a little about climbing roses it becomes clearer. Glad it helped!
Thanks for this most helpful demonstration!
I know this video is quite dated, but man, your information and delivery was amazing!!! Thanks for breaking it down in a very easy to understand video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you. NOW I understand. Simple principles that I can apply all year round.
Glad it was helpful!
Exactly. And now that you know the difference between main canes and lateral and which ones you should and should not prune it will keep blooming every year. Glad it helped you!
My mom was wondering why her climbing rose wasn't blooming! She had it straight up! Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Thank goodness for this video. Just bought a new house in Toronto with a climber and it was actually eating small children. Now I can take control!!!
It's official. You are my rose guru. I got into climbing roses about a year ago but I never paid much attention to pruning since it always seemed more difficult than college algebra. Now I understand the basics. This weekend I will try to pillar a rose. Please keep those videos coming.
Excellent video. Very clear instructions - this man knows how to communicate!
This is exactly what I was looking for thank you so much! Its alot easier than I thought. I hope if I "knight" any laterals, I can do it with as much pomp and circumstance as you did in the video! lolllllllllll :-) I'm trying to get these little guys over an arbor and I've seen those stragglers at the base too. Gotta go grab the pruners! thanks again!
Glad you liked it and found it useful. We are all ready planning more for this season.
This is an excellent video with clear sightlines and informative details without being intimidating. Thank you.
Paul rocks! great sense of humor, super clear, excellent at explaining and demonstrating! I might get more daring in my gardening and plant more just to try out the suggestions he proffers.☺
Thanks!
Gee'awd, I love these videos. They are like a library in my home that I can visit anytime I need. And I do!
Glad you like them!
Hello!
Mr Zimmerman..
I learnt so much from your videos on roses.i would really appreciate if you could do a video on how to increase the rose petal's count.
The petal count is based on the variety itself. There is nothing you can do to increase it.
Great information and sense of humor...your a natural for the video/tv world!!
I wish I had seen this video last year! It will take some doing to get control of our climber - but at least this video explains how to do it and does so very understandably. Thank you for posting such an informative and well done video!
Thanks for your response. I've watched your video on pegging & it was most informative. You are a great 'teacher'. I've learned so much from you & most importantly you've removed so much of the intimidation of venturing into growing roses by sharing your knowledge. I will probably be asking other related questions on your rose forum as my venture into roses progresses.
So helpful! I'm doing some Fall cleanup, and this is exactly what I needed to see! Thank you, Mr. Zimmerman!
You're welcome!
I really want to thank you for the rose education you’ve given me. Following your advice, I’ve rejuvenated my grandma’s hybrid teas trained my new own root root climber and have enjoyed a positively sinful amount of blooms.
So glad it's helping!
@@Paulzimmermanroses my roses were the talk of the neighborhood during lockdown. Thank you so SO much for helping bring a lot of joy to the last year.
@@AndYourLittleDog You're welcome.
Thank you even though the quality of the video is pretty hard to see BUT you explain everything so well I understood everything you said even though I don't know anything about roses. Thanks to yours video's I am learning alot! I've tried pruning a rose bush a few times in this house I moved into and every time I prune them they won't bloom but every time I just leave them they bloom like crazy. The problem is they don't grow new canes and the two canes that are on there don't grow any longer. It's like I frightened the roses and just decided to stay just as they are so I won't touch them lol I'm listening to them and I haven't touched them for the last two years.
These videos were shot before HD cameras really came into their own hence the quality not being great. Some rose bushes don't like pruning and yours may be among those. Just keep them shaped and don't worry about pruning. Not growing new canes might come down to them just being old.
Thankyou so much for sharing
You're welcome!
You are very funny, but that explains why this is the 1st time my climbing queen elizabeth is going to bloom, this is it's 3rd year.
Very informative.
Really good video. I understand a lot more now than I did before. What I need to know is how to prune roses when those little brown spots appear on the leaves ... after the first bloom
Thank you! I moved into our house a year ago and the previous owners have a well established rose bush and then sort of next to it a random climbing rose (??). There's no trellis or anything for it to climb, so I'll either consider moving it or finding a free standing trellis. I have learned the ways of rosebushes but NOT climbing roses so this is incredibly helpful. I am no longer intimidated by this weird climbing rose :)
Thanks very much......I have a Gertrude Jekyll that Ive never pruned! So straight forward advice. 😀
thank you so very much
you answered all of my questions
Thanks for the information. My climbing roses are in need of a strong prunning. I had a chuckle when you refered to the "arms that grow and grow and take over the lawn", my climbing rose looks like an octopus. I have it is a short support, like three feet tall, I want it to go higher like seven to ten feet tall due to the fact it is placed in front of porch at the entrance.
Very helpful video, thanks!
You're welcome!
Awesome explanation, or as we now say in the UK.. awesome explanation! Thanks.
It applies to all roses. In fact, what you are talking about is called pegging and there is a video on it. Glad you enjoy the videos!
Brilliant - very helpful and very clear explanation.
Thank you for the great review!
Thank you so much. The huge bush of a climbing rose I need to tackle, now seems much less intimidating.
Thanks and I'm glad you like it.
OMG I'm so glad I found this video!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!
Glad you like it!
I don't yet but stay tuned. I have a big one on our farm I plan to prune after it blooms this spring. Ramblers are best pruned right after flowering.
Thank you for all your work! I'm watching you with admiration and great interest!
Enjoy and thanks.
Thank you ! I am getting a 4th July Climbing rose this will be helpful! :)
Wonderful! Thank you for explaining in a way I understand. Funny & Functional!
This guy is a boss! Nice video
Thanks Paul! My Graham Thomas was out of control! 12' high and 6 ' wide, it was very nearly ready to envelope the BBQ and, yes, any small animals or children. Watched your video and attacked my rose that same afternoon. I won.
Very helpful, thank you!
Best video ever! Thanks
Love this guy!
Glad you enjoy them!
Thank you -- my Don Juan Rose is starting to get out of control. now i know what to do!
Seriously you should have way more subs than you do. Excellent video new subscriber here
Thank you. I plan to start making new ones this season.
paul i lost your email but just wanted to update you on that gorgantueous rose...Haha--totally misspelled that...well i chopped it down to about 2feet...remember it tipped the trellis over...it was just to big for me to cut properly so i just went crazy...but in CA we are getting some cool nights and i walked by and that thing is growing....i thought i had killed it...but it is coming back...so i will be putting a trellis again just a very secure one and not out of wood unless it is supported with steel...it was a gorgeous trellis so maybe in five years it will be back to where i cut it down...thank you for all your input! i have a better sense of what to expect and how to control it better now! thank you thank you thank you! i would love to someday see your garden--i'm sure it smells beautiful if you have as many roses planted as i think you probably do! roses are my favorite!
So glad it's working out and the rose is making a come back!
Great video. You remind me of J.K. Simmons. I'm off outside to prune my massive, messy climber.
Thank you and pass the word around.
Looking forward to seeing you over there!
Yes, the same applies to a lady banks rose. But since it is a spring flowering rose do the major prune after it flowers
Thanks and have fun Knighting!!
I lover your presentation style and funny expressions 😆 you mix in your videos. I watched all your videos in whichever channel you are. But I couldn't find anything about overwintering climbing rose and shrub roses. Can you please make a video on how to overwinter climbing rose plants and container roses, how much watering will it need during winter and etc.? I really appreciate your advice on roses! 🌹 💐 Thanks 😊
I will do so. You are not the first person who asked.
@@Paulzimmermanroses Thank you so much! Please do it soon 😁 First frost date is coming!
oh yes! I need advice on how to protect my climbing roses from the frigid winters in Chicago!!
My climbing rose died last winter.. 😢
Thanks for all the kind comments and glad you like the videos.
I like these guys a lot!
my aunt order it for me,,, because i really love roses,, and our place dont have any climbing roses thats why i cant plant any expect having a seed,, thanks anyway for ur response sir,,,
You can tie them in like main canes or cut them like laterals.
THANK YOU!!! I have been afraid of pruning my trellised roses and now they have black spots on the leaves right after the beautiful blooming period. I guess I can start to clean up the bush with more confidence, but the leaves worry me.
Once you prune the rose, the improved air circulation will clear up the black spot.
Thank you!
@cobbhousehold6 I'm so glad you like them and they are useful. Be sure to join us on our discussion forum on our website paulzimmermanroses if you have any questions!
10 out of 10. thanks. i learn alot
Great advice and funny
Thank you!
Great and thank you!
Thanks!
You can take care of Don Juan just any other climbing rose. It's very easy to work with. As to what kind of trellis a lot of that is up to you in terms of what you think will like good in your garden. If you want wood something like a 4x8 foot lattice sheet would work. Where are you going to put the trellis?
great! thank you from Paris
That was very educational, thank you. What I'm missing is an understanding of from where the flowers actually grow. If I am continually cutting laterals, am I not also trimming off the very stems that will bear the flowers, thus preventing flowering?
I ask because I have a Smooth Touch rose that's about 5 years old that has literally never borne a single flower, despite horizontal training. So I have no experience with how, where or even when rose flowers emerge, despite 5 years rose-growing experience! :(
The new flowers will grow from beneath where you made a cut. You only cut the laterals back to within 12-18 inches of the main canes. You don't cut them off completely. Does that help?
Hava you got a video on pruning ramblers?
Thanks!
Can you do a short video on how to care for a young climbing rose after buying it? How to start training it, to prune it right away or not etc?
037emka I can but to quickly answer your questions. Start training it as soon as the canes get long enough. Do it the way I talk about in the video.
Don't prune it for the first year or two. Let it grow.
Paul Zimmerman Roses Thanks so much!
I learned so much!!!
You might try cutting one or two of the canes short to about 2' or so. That would encourage blooms towards the base. I wouldn't do more than one or two though.
Paul is a hoot! I love his humor. I do have a rose vine that has too many 'imposter' vines. I forget what they are called. Suckers? Oh, well. I'm wondering if I need to toss it and start over. Any suggestions?
If it has a lot and they keep coming I'd start over. Once it gets out of hand it's hard to keep up!
You would treat the Lady Banks the same way.
Any heavy pruning you want to do in late winter. At this point just trim the rose to shape it, cut out dead wood etc.
With the cane growing from the roots. Is your rose own root or budded? If budded is the cane coming from above or below the bud union, which is the "knot" at the base of the plant above the roots.
Thank you great information, I see that We should not cut the main cane, but how if the main cane bear flowers? Should I deadhead those flowers or not?
Yes, you can deadhead those flowers.
Sorry i dont know what own root or budded means.Think the cane is coming from above the roots almost next to the base of the plant.
@AshdownRoses - Hello.. I want to thank you for your very instructional video,I learned a lot and I'm thankful. I recently purchased a "Don Juan Climbing Rose" ( which I'm totally in love with) I would like to know if this specific climbing rose is pruned or taken care of differently then the rest, and what kind of trellis do you recommend me to purchase for my climbing rose?
Does the horizontal cane theory apply to shrub roses that throw out longer, flexible canes that tend to grow vertical with roses or clusters developing only on cane tips? If I was to position those canes in a more horizontal position would they produce laterals & more roses?
I'm working my way through your videos, commenting as I go. So helpful your videos. Thank you.
Hi its spring over here but very hot (like summer), should i prune it after all the roses die? I normally always cut alot of them off to give to my mum then trim were i took the rose from if that lateral doesnt have any roses left on it.Am i doing right? And my Climber this year got a cain growing from its roots. Should i cut it off? Heard it could kill roses bushes or should i leave it grow? Thanks so much :) your videos and web really helped me!
