Really useful thank you

I really enjoyed your tips thankyou. I feel confident to do my overgrown Alexandre Girault which has been unpruned for 8 years and is very straggly

very helpful, thanks. Tips - background music is too loud to hear you when you turn away from the camera!

Interesting that you leave the top for later, I was taught to do that first to let light down into the middle & to encourage more growth from the base (and like you, I would also cut some stems down low). What are your thoughts, and would you approach it differently in different situations? As you say, with privet you can't really go wrong & of course maybe the customer wants to keep the height as much as possible.

Would have loved this without the music… when I turned it down, I couldn’t hear your voice 🙂

Very useful video 🙏 Feeling confident that I can now tackle my rambling rose Cécile Brunner. Will be wearing gloves and long sleeves though 😊

My forget me knots are from seeds that were given to me in memory of someone. At the moment I have two beautiful bushes but I'm planning on moving next year and want to take some with me. Can I repot some or will they die?

Really useful video, thank you. I do have one question for you. I've got a new customer that, I think, has a rambling rose, but it's never been pruned. The main stems are about an inch thick and not sprouting any new growth. It's overgrown the space dramatically. How would I go about starting to prune it? It's massive!

What’s wrong with good old fashioned shears?

January/February? I'm still shoveling snow in Niagara Falls, NY. Forget me not complement my Hostas. Unfortunately, 1st week of June I pull them when cleaning up the beds. Wish they didn't have su h frail roots.😢😢😢

i wish i could hear what he was saying :(

Que rosal aparece en el segundo 50?

Enjoyed your videos, I notice you stop making videos around covid time I hope covid didn't effect you or your business. . I had a few self employed friends suffer during lock down. . Hopefully you are back gardening or planning a come back 👌

Lots of people claiming to be gardeners are just grass cutting contractors with no interest in plants or presentation. . Our contractor (calls himself a gardener ) has never planted anything just cuts grass and sprays chemicals. You show an interest which will always lead to knowledge. .

I did this ... with mine 10

Excellent explanation…bit longer than some videos but clear as to how & why!

I was also worried about cutting back to much. One question tho!. Is ivy growing up the bush a problem?.

Fantastic video thank you. Although I have many climbing roses I am new to a young rambling rose in my garden. Fortunately mine has been pruned this year before being sent out to me. Would I train a rambler the same as a climber? Lateral?

Just came across this video as we’ve just moved and our garden is very heavy clay soil and holds on to the water in winter, I have a pampas grass which is about (4 years old ) in a pot could I put it into our new garden?

How do you get your Cecil Bruner to basically lay flat against the building mine grows out wide.. not flat thank you

Very good clear instructions. Thank you for posting

“Gardeners aren’t trades people”, essentially a gardener is seen as a labourer with an interest in plants.

Excelente lição! Comprei uma rosa rector (divagante, errante?) e agora tenho certeza de como poderei conduzir a planta

Best video on rambling rose pruning, finally it all made sense for me, many thanks

Why the loud music?

What type of privet hedge is this called? I need to buy the for my garden to grow in Ireland

Thank-You for the tips, much appreciate it !

Horrid feeling when 30mins into a big job you realise that you've way underpriced yourself... but, most of us have been there 😂

Ha! When I was 9 I lived in England for a year. My dad showed me a slow worm..so cool.

So glad i watched your vid. Exactly what I've been trying to do this year. Glad to see I can happily cut a lot harder back. I was too nervous as never done it before

What if they cancel at the end of the growing season? How do you get the rest of your money?

I have what i think is a rambler that i started from my mother's, which came from her mother. I've had no idea how i should manage the pruning, so it's a mess. I started cleaning up deadwood recently with gloves and goggles then decided enough is enough. I just came in and found your video. Glory to God, i might actually be able to do something with this now, if i CAN untangle it. Thank you so much!!

Love the way you think - I do the same in Australia & once you provide quality work , your key customers will stick with you - & I’m fully booked some 6 weeks out.

Really helpful, thanks!

This is so helpful, thankyou!

Many thanks, so useful!!

I can relate to the hedge cutting you got caught on, we’ve all there. I won’t do hedges if I can help it.

What type of yew was this again? I think I missed it. The type of plant

👌👌👌

I've been there on a job

Great job .. tip for you .. put the bits as prune into a wheelbarrow or garden bin ... saves on the clearing up of prickly things.

Hi where have you been. I love your videos and wish you had made more

Great video, thank you. You said for smaller space you would go for something else... what would you go for please? We currently have a privet that was planted by the previous owner. I agree it is far too vigorous for the space it has (a hedge line that is about 1m deep and keeping it 1.5m high). It's also looking very messy from all the pruning and was thinking of doing a hard prune this winter, that's how I found your video! I'm fond of something like a Yew. Do you think that would that be good? Thank you!

Very good video, just what I needed

show us your rambling roses update please

hey dude why dont you make new video...where r u man...are u sick or expired

buy gloves

Thanks! Our gardener convinced me to cut our very old privet from its current 8 to 12 feet height to about 6 feet, and also to take about 1 foot off of each side of it as it was starting to be really overgrown. It is about a 250 foot long hedge so its going to take a lot of time (and money). We want it to be a bit thicker to hide a road on the other side of. Your two videos convinced me I made the right decision. Looking forward to seeing it fill in next spring!

Great video. Agree with every word. I'm just about to start up and have exactly the same mentality. The days of bunging someone 20 quid to do the garden are long gone. Customers have to realise you've invested thousands in van, fuel and tools which has to be paid back and you're doing physical labour better than they can do it.

Nice video, thank you, Im doing much the same for one of my clients.......... One little suggestion though buddy, next time youre filming, wait until Mr Hammer Happy has finished banging away. hahahah
