  • 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!

    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.

    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.

    • @Paulzimmermanroses
      @Paulzimmermanroses  7 лет назад

      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.

    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 :)

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.

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?

  • @Finchesca

    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! :(

    • @Paulzimmermanroses
      @Paulzimmermanroses  10 лет назад

      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?

    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.

    @quenuk 12 лет назад

    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 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!
