Pruning Climbing Roses! ️ // Garden Answer

I love watching your videos! You’re so inspirational and motivating!

I made beginner mistake and planted my climber 2 ft from the wall. Let it grow two years without pruning. Now I want to train and tie to wall. I’m concerned the main stems are too big to bend back to ward wall. What to do? Cut every thing back to a couple feet, dig up and replant closer to wall, and start all over?

I have three spots I’m growing climbers in the front, this is good information

Very very helpful Thank you!

My two climbing roses havent bloomed in yrs. I've cut them back and retrained them and given fertilizer but nothing.

This is the best climbing rose video I have seen. You are very clear with how and why!

I wanted to take a moment and say thank you. I have been watching your videos for sometime now. I have enjoyed them very much. I have spend the biggest part of my gardening life not ever being able to grow roses. My mother in law gave me a climbing rose prior to her passing more than 13 years ago. So I got the rose just before she passed. It would only have 2 cane and only would get around a couple feet and then the canes would die and the next year new canes would grow and the same thing. I dug it put and transplanted it in another spot. A new trellis. And I spent some time following your rose trimming videos. I am happy to say I now have multiple canes, with a ton of growth. I now cut red roses and have them on the kitchen table almost daily. The ones I leave are currently growing up the entire back side of my shed shed. I can not even begin to tell you how excited I am to have gotten it through all those years limping and this year boom shaka laka! Roses everywhere. I feel like a true Gardner now. I have since bought 4 of the at last roses and they are just loving life now that I am more mindful of how to care for them. Again I can’t thank you and your team enough. You all are really an inspiration to me and I am sure many other daily. Take care. Happy gardening. And may god continue to bless you and you family. See you in the next one.🌹

Thanks for this episode! I look forward to pruning my climbing rose soon.

Is this a spring time task? Late autumn?

Great job and just what I needed. Thanks for all the cutting close ups too. Appreciated.

Would love to see an update of this , really enjoyed your video ❤

Can we prune climbing rose in summer too?

As usual I learned very quickly what I needed to know regarding any and every garden issue ! I was so afraid to prune my very large climbing rose so of course I learned from the best! She explains everything so throughly and easily showing us exactly what to do. The best of the best! I have been gardening as long as I can remember (I’m 62) and learn something new daily by watching Garden Answer! Thank you!,🥰

Hey .. do we need to winterize the climbing roses in fall? If so then what needs to be done?

Hi I m from Pakistan hunza . I really inspired from ur work .I also love gardening so i watch ur videos .

Love those gloves!…what are they called and where can I find them and the arbor too please…

Can you PLEASE tell me what size you wear in your Falco gloves?? I need these like yesterday. Thank you 😊😊😊

I don't prune my roses. The local gang of rabbits cut it all down for me.

Thankyou for this video. I'm always nervous that I've cut too much from my climbers, turns out it's not nearly enough! If it ever stops snowing I'll be off out to get after mine

Thanks for the video! We just got an arbor for the entrance of our veg garden and we planted a clematis, Polish Spirit and just picked up a new climber rose, Golden Showers. I really love the color combination. At the vineyard I work, we have the Colette climber too! Such a great beauty! Lovely scent!

Hi! I notice on my clinging rose that there aren’t many side shots, only vertical canes. It is a David Austin climber on a tall arbor, so not sure what the problem is. Thoughts?

Nice video👍🙏

Someone on here asked how long roses can live. I live in vote 8b in western Washington and have roses over 50 years old! We bought our 113 year old home 47 years ago and had old rose plants in the flower bed. Two of them are still thriving! Others I have planted and some are 47 years old. We also have a very old weigela that is a show stopper each spring!

Thank you

Yes Roguchi - type 3 - blooms on old wood.....my favorite.

I purchased new David Austin roses, they should be arriving soon. I also purchased the gloves your wearing.

Thanks for sharing.

I need those gloves!!

That’s a beautiful scarf or cowl you’re wearing. Did you make it? Is it a pattern you can share?
Also, I am a caregiver for a 94 year old lady who has climbing roses surrounding her house. I followed tips from a previous video of yours and pruned them hard last year. They bloomed beautifully! Thank you for this refresher video! I can’t wait to get her roses pruned again! Happy gardening! 🥰

Hello from Scotland. Thankyou for a really fantastic video. I pruned my Gertrude Jekyll climbing rose recently but will go back and have another look after all your advice Laura. ❤

Thx SO much for this video. It’s 75 degrees and super humid today because a big storm is blowing in. I went to prune all of my roses and was enveloped in whiteflies. I didn’t know I was supposed to remove the leaves before.

This year has been a heck of a year for our family. My husband was diagnosed with lung cancer. I haven’t been able to get in the yard to do anything. I noticed my roses have buds already and a bunch of leaves. If I’m not able to prune them this year, will it harm the plant? They are 3 years old. Proven winners rose bush. I’m in zone 9a

You don't cut back the clematis?

Another great! pruning video. Thanks!!!

Obs e pois roses corte 👍

Wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing your process for pruning climbing roses. I planted two Don Juan climbing roses last year with some companion clematis and am excited to prune and train the main branches this year. Looking forward to a spring filled with blooms. 🌹🙏☀

What a pretty infinity scarf! Is it hand knit?

Laura has all her equipment: ladder, Rosetone, pruners, gloves, RUSSELL!

It made perfect sense! Thank you.

Where are you this morning Laura? I didn't see anything posted in community about not having a video today.... and I'll be honest with you, I have absolutely no social media. Maybe you posted something there letting us know that you wouldn't have a video today?

Thank you for taking the time to show us where you made the cuts. I remember those roses from last season and they were stunning. When can we transplant our roses? Is it too early for this? I have several roses I planted that have been performing poorly- in their 4th year. I realized last year that they aren’t getting enough sun where I planted them & I want to move them to a full sun spot this spring. I garden in zone 7a.

💚

I want gloves like yours. Have a few beautiful , but deadly thorny roses. Others ok
Beautiful pink roses Laura do they have a scent?

Thank you for great instructions. I have rambling roses which I have been told are different to a climbing roses and need different pruning. Can you confirm and if so how should rambling roses be pruned? Thank you so much, (am in Australia so planning way ahead!!).

Are you going to do grape pruning?

This will be so helpful when I tackle our William Baffin roses soon. Thank you!

You are a very optimistic person.

From one gardener to another… Seems to me like you might have to consider adding ONE additional type of Felco’s to your collection… Felco 100’s 😉 from someone in in landscape maintenance … game changer 😅🤣
