Cutting climbing roses – care tips
Climbing rosesgrow on a trellis or other structure. They have one or more main and side shoots that produce the flowers. There are two types of climbing roses: those that bloom once a season and those that bloom all season long. Cutthe climbing rosesin late winter or early spring before the plant blooms. Make all cuts 60mm above an outward-facing bud.
Use gardening gloves
Cut all flowering stems back to a few nodes from the main stems. This will keep the rose tidy and will be strong enough to support the blooms next year.
cut old side shoots
Cut old, weak,dead or very damaged main shoots. It may be difficult, but these should be removed. Note that “brown” does not mean “dead.” If you are unsure whether a stick is still alive, make a cut along the bark as if you were shaving. Tie new large canes and cut any others that are not necessary.
