Best explanation and demonstration of pruning and pillaring a climbing rose. Thank you!
You are very welcome!
I constantly come back to Paul's videos to remind myself how to prune my roses. So so helpful, especially as my climber keeps getting bigger each year.
Thank you!
His voice is very pleasant.
Thanks
You can maintain it the way you would most other climbing roses. Keep the laterals trimmed back during the season and during pruning time. Wind new main canes into it as they come up. Every now and then you may need to unwrap to cut out an old cane but not every year.
Been watching Paul the last 3 years in the UK since I found his website, his sense of humour & common sense way of describing how to do the job beats all. Keep the vids coming Paul your a rare gem
Thanks!
Thank you for this tutorial. I have two 'Cherry Frost' climbers that would benefit from this treatment 🌹
You're welcome!
Thank you for this video, I'd love to see an updated picture of the pillar covered in blooms!
You amaze me with your skill but you brighten my day with your humor. Do NOT STOP!
LOL thanks again.
AWESOME tips! Planted two climbers a few days ago, looking forward to pruning when they're bigger!
Fantastic!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I am growing roses including climbers for the first time this year and your videos are so helpful.
Wonderful!
Great advice and great series!
I would argue with one point, though, for us non-professionals:
I have been growing and pruning roses bare-handed for more than 40 years, and hve only once or twice drawn blood -- and that is probably due to getting older and having more difficulty seeing in recent years.
The secret is moving slowly and deliberately (rather than at a "professional" pace), and has the added advantage of meticulous observation regarding scarring, bugs, spots, etc.
Paul, I love your videos. They are practical, full of information, with humor sprinkled in. Only thing I would add is a photo when it is in bloom! Thank you so much!!!
Glad you like the videos. I've had others ask to see the "after" photos. As I make new ones I'll do that.
This video is so helpful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
This was the most informative video I came across. Thank you for teaching so much & so well about climbing roses. I'm very excited about mine now.
Thanks and glad you liked it!
At last, someone who knows what they are talking about. Thank you, I think I know what to do with my climbers at last. Main canes leave. Laterals cut. Simple! Thanks a million. I have had my roses for 20 years and theyve never been pruned correctly.
Glad to help!
Thank you, I have learnt so much from you in the last couple of years and my garden has now changed completely, you have given me the confidence to redesign the garden and have the roses I want where I can see and enjoy them. Not sure if you know how influential you are all around the world. Theresa. New Zealand
Thank you!
I cannot wait til my roses come in. I never planted them before. I have a lamp post that I want to use in my front yard thank you.
You are so welcome!
Excellent video that clearly and succinctly describes how to.
Thank you for taking the time to explain.
This is the best video on pillaring a rose. Thank you so much!
Wow, thank you!
I use a post hole digger which only digs a hole the width you need. I dig it as close to the rose s I can get. Start by sort of probing with the post hold digger and you should be able to work around the larger roots of the rose. Plus since you are trimming so much of the laterals off you are reducing the size of the rose above ground so some missing root shouldn't matter.
Very good point on moving slowly. I'm getting great tips from everyone and I'm thinking at some point a video of readers tips might be in order.
So helpful & a sense of humour with it. You understand our confusions & explain so thoughtfully. Thank you
Thanks!
So helpful! Thanks so much. Can't wait to get into the garden and pillar my climber, that I had been doing all wrong!
My red rose has stopped eating passing children & pets and looks amazing after proper hacking back & weaving into the arbor. I was going to remove it because I have never been anygood at roses BUT it was the only thing that would bloom in my yard. So now I have it and 4 other roses! Thank you!
Hi Paul 👋
You are the best ...thankyou so much 💕
You are so welcome
Best rose video I've seen, love the humour and straight forward skills you share!
Thanks!
This is such a useful tutorial. Thank you!
Thank you!
i really enjoyed your videos. since i watch your videos a month ago. i bought a few varieties such as Abraham Darby,Sisters ELizabeth,rosalind,Black Baccara,and jude obscure..and they now are really happy as your videos is My ultimate guidance to take care of them... i lived In Malaysia which is hot and humid around 90 degrees all year around....Regards Great Master!
Thanks and nice rose choices!
+Paul Zimmerman Roses ..thanks again ...:)
Thanks for posting your question. So others can chip in I've reposted it on our discussion forum. That way others can give their thoughts as well. And if you have more questions feel free to continue asking! The link to our forum is in the description of the video. Your question is under climbing roses and the topic is Rambling Rose Questions. See you over there!
Thank you a million times! I really needed to know this right now. Also I know now why my Veilchenblau rose in a 15 gallon didn’t bloom much. I was trying to get it tall in a hurry so I can plant it out to climb a tree. I trained the canes straight up on a tall pole. Now I’ve got it in the ground under a tree so I will get the canes going up the tree at as parallel angle as I can so I will get blooms the coming spring. I’m so thrilled to learn this stuff and to do it!
Glad it helped!
Thanks Daddy, that was super useful.
Glad to hear it
@vrrusa I'm glad it helped and I'm guessing the children and pets are too!!!
So informative! I love your sense of humor too. I have a Golden Showers climber that I just planted this spring, and it is already taking over. I really needed to know how to keep it in check, and this is just the trick. Thanks so much!
Love your sense of humour! Greetings from northern Italy! ^_^
Thank you! 😃
Thank you for sharing! I have a better understanding of how to train my rose on a pillar.🌹
Great!
Yay! I needed a good visual to train my eden climber up my pergola! Thank you!
You are welcome!
So helpful! I pillared a wonderful old-fashioned rose last fall after watching this video (twice :)). The rose had "fountained" and was a bear to mow around. Now it's spring and the lateral growth that's happening is amazing. Just finished tucking in some new growth to keep things under control; looking forward to a column of blooms in a month or so.
Oh my god, this is so creative and I love your vedio !
Thank you so much!!
Handsome and knowledgable, thanks for the information.
I learnt a lot. It will help my garden a lot. Cheers
You're welcome.
I am so glad i found you .I have learnt so much from your expertise .I'm subbed.
Very helpful to a new rose grower. I learned a lot. I`m off to watch the other videos.
Thanks so much for these videos on roses. They are so very helpful. Keep them coming. :)
This is SO brilliant - thank you! I planted a climber (Dublin Bay) against a porch post, but then wasn't sure what to do - we live in a fire-prone area so don't want the rose climbing all over the roof - no one EVER told me I was supposed to grow Climbing roses on the Horizontal rather then on the vertical - now I KNOW I can have my pillar of red roses outside my bedroom window without them getting into the gutters or rampaging across the roof. WONDERFUL ADVICE! :)
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks.
Best explain ever .Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! Just what I needed.
Excellent video. We had been planning to put up a couple of arborvitaes to bracket our front window, but I think a couple of pillar roses might be much more interesting. We're zone 5, but I think we have some climbers that will, eventually, cover the pillars. Thanks.
Very cool! I would love to see what it looks like after it has filled in and grown out a bit.
Excellent tips and great video Paul. Much appreciated and best wishes.
I plant them in the structure. That makes it easier to wind the canes around.
Very informative & entertaining. I am going to do that with my climbers.
Have you thought of doing a video on how to root a rose by clippings? I liked all your vids.
Very helpful tips ☺
Thanks!
Thanks Paul - Very useful video. I am going to try this.
Great video!
Thanks!
I like your video's and, i want to do this with a rose and a blackberry on my allotment so, sending the main stems straight up will be good for me as i'll get plenty of light down below still. Thanks for the reverse tip :)
Just need a pic of it in bloom!!!
I should have done that!
Thank you so much for this very good, informative and helpful videos!
Hi greetings from Reo of Ireland.great video please up more very educational..
Terrific! Thank you! All I need is gloves and clean clippers. I subscribed. Ready to go.
Great! If you have more questions I have a Facebook group where you can ask away! facebook.com/groups/58500441971/
Brilliant thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent. Thank you.
thanks for all the information vary helpful
This is fantastic thank you. I am curious, however, about the fact that it creates a lot of crossing stems which is something that is traditionally to be avoided?
It's generally could to avoid crossing stems when they are not secured because they will rub against each other. In the case the canes are tied in so it's okay.
You would use the same technique and simply train it as it grows. It's actually easier with a new rose.
Thank u
Ha! Thanks for the humor!
You're welcome!
Cool, thanks!
What a great video! Thank you! How do you protect the pillar rose or a trellised rose for that matter, for a zone 4 winter?
Great idea.. and funny
Great video, very informative and just what I needed as I've chosen some bare root roses for an pergola. I'm just after some further advice ....if possible. The roses that I have are for dappled shade and about 4 meters from a tree and it's roots. So my question is...shall I plant in a large pot with the bottom cut out so there's less interference from tree roots or will it happily coexist with the tree?
Sorry that I just saw this question. Yes, a large pot with the bottom cut out is a good idea.
You videos are very informative. I am just starting but I am in Japan, very humid summer and not sure if I should start now in pots or commit to the ground. Any tips?Thanks!
I'd start in pots and then plant in late summer when it starts to cool off.
Wonderfully explained. May i ask, what if i wanted to create a tight wall (no space in between) of these climbing roses trained onto bamboo as pillars. How far should the bamboos be spaced?
Great question. I would suggest every two feet
@@Paulzimmermanroses you talked about wrapping the canes around at an angle. What about the plant itself? I've read that climbers are to be planted a foot away and at a slight angle towards the structure/trellis. Does that appy when it comes to pillaring a rose? Do you plant it a foot away and at an angle? Thank you for your response btw.
Frasier?? J/k thank you for the video. Time for an hd 2020 version though
I am totally new to rose growing and came across your videos (joy!). As my first ever rose-growing endeavor, I am considering growing a 4th of July Climbing rose up the iron scrollwork of my porch. Would I use this same technique on a small rose-ling (name for baby rose?) or would a different method be used if starting with junior plant? All your videos seem to start with big, strapping specimens...thanks!!
Hi there,
Do you think Pierre De Ronsard (Eden Rose 88) is suitable to train on a fence post just like in this video? I have no idea if it has flexible canes or not.
If you start while the canes are young, yes it will work.
To be honest, you’ve wrapped the main canes fairly vertical, not very horizontal as you said it should be 🤔
Mr. Zimmerman, How do you help prevent blackspot on a pillared rose? With canes and laterals so close together wouldn't that be a major issue?
Certainly keeping it thinned will help but the key is to find a rose that is disease resistant by nature. I find if I do a good shaping and thinning after the spring flowering that will help.
Thank you, sir!
Sounds like powdery mildew. You can use a mild fungicide or just let it go away. As the rose matures you will probably see less of it.
great idea, my only concern is after a while the timber will rot
If you use pressure treated it will last a long time. If it does rot do a good pruning on the rose by cutting back the laterals and leaving the main canes long. Slip the old post out and a new one in. It's trickier than I made it sound but it can be done with help.
So when pruning a pillared rose, do you have to remove all of the tied-up canes?
No. you would leave all the main canes tied up and just trim the laterals.
Is it a good idea to train a rose like the way u are doing up a tree that has no branches a dead pine tree I know that it is a pole that u are using
That would work fine. Lots of folks use dead trees for this.
Hi is it wrong if i just tie the canes in going clockwise? Wont it be a problem canes from both directions when you need to remove a cane from the bud union? please help :( . Trying to train a rose up a obelisk...
+AngelHeart that will work. When you need to remove a cane just do it in sections.
Thanks so much :)
This video made me laugh. :) Very informational.
So glad!
We have 2 huge non-climbing roses, but love where they’re at. We don’t want to move them, but just wooden stakes are not controlling them well. They’re hanging too far over the driveway. How do i fix this w/out hurting them or moving them?
Have you tried pegging the long canes back into the rose?
But will it only bloom at the top since the main canes weren't bent to break the laterals? It looks to me like the main canes are still pointed up and not in the bloomerama/bloomapalooza zone. Maybe I'm just viewing it wrong.
Now that I look again after watching the pegging video, I guess that's more to the 45 degree range of the bloomerama/bloomapalooza zone as opposed to a more horizontal position.
Exactly. To 45 degrees works.
Hi Paul - would be interested in your opinion on training roses on a trellis - would you (a) train & tie canes outside only or (b) weave canes through the both outside and inside of the lattice structure?
+Owen Chubb probably outside only. That way if you ever have to take the rose down to say paint the trellis it won't be an issue.
Hi! Thank you for the video. Can I use this same technique on an arch? I have three arches that are about 12” thick and 9’ tall.
Yes, this would work on an arch.
Off to sort out my Dublin Bays & Pierre d' Ronsard's - poor things!!
If you run them vertically up a pole how do you get blooms? This is similar to espalier on fruit trees - you only get fruit on horizontal branches - so if you run them vertically how does it bloom going up the pole?? Sorry, just starting with a New Dawn which I bought to cover a cover of my neighbor's plastic white fence meeting my wooden privacy fence so I'm covering it with as many canes and roses as I can find. I can hold the canes hoziontally to the plastic fence by using the coat hangers with taped velcro in office supply stores that will stick to the plastic fence. My wooden fence is no problem. Hopefully over years the rose and the laurel there will hide that entire corner - because it is really ugly. Thank you very much
You wind them around the pole at 45 degree angles. That's pretty much the same as keeping them horizontal. Think stripes on a barber pole.
We'll probably cover some propagation eventually but as a nursery owner who makes his living by selling rose plants I'm not sure I want to teach people how do it for free! LOL
Well, you can see this is a 10 year old answer - a lot has changed in the mentality of professionals, luckily :)
If one wants to use a teepee or rod type obelisk to pillar train:
/|\
/ | \
Should the rose be planted "in" the structure, or outside against one of the"legs"?
Can you pillar any rose? or it has to be a Climber by force? Dont you get problems with the thorns & powdery mildew?
Best to use a climber even though some of the shrubs that throw long canes will work for shorter pillars. Choose a disease resistant variety and disease won't be much of an issue. Gauntlet gloves will help with the thorns.
Thanks so much :)
thanks!! =)
I have Don Juan roses and I can't train them as they are very stiff. Even short branches (40 cm) are hard to train let alone the main ones. How do I work around this?
Generally once a rose cane has matured it's hard to pillar. The younger, newer canes are the easier ones to do. If your rose is putting out new canes at the base start with pillaring those. As enough new ones grow you can cut out old ones that are stiff.
Paul Zimmerman Roses I'll try that. Thanks.
When he wraps the canes around the pole the angle is more than 45 degrees. He has already told us that the angle needs to be no more than 45 degrees.
45 degrees would be best but in this case I worked with what the rose would give me.
I want to know about tree roses. Are there any fragrant thornless tree roses?
Not to my knowledge but every grower will produce different things. There is a rose called Reine des Violettes that is fragrant and pretty much thornless. If you can find that as a tree rose it potentially could be one.
Should I take bark off of 🌲 tree before i use the tree
No.
Control the beast!! Haha
BAHAHAHA! You are funny. Thanks!
