Prune and Train Climbing Roses

[@smedina146]

I just saw this today, 09/30/2024 and it is as timeless, useful information as was the day you filmed it! I really appreciate your style of teaching. I can't thank you enough for your commitment to roses and helping us all grow them better. THANK YOU from Western Washington! 💛🖤💛

[@joannpelas5101]

I never got to thank you for this video. I purchased a rose unaware it was a climber and pruned it back hard. 😞 Finally I looked at the tag and saw it was a climber. After slapping my forehead and waiting a full three years its finally starting to bud again but this time I know exactly how to care for it. Crown Princess Margaretta will be as beautiful as the day I brought her home from the garden center! You need your own TV show you are informative and entertaining.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks JoAnn - so happy to be able to help

[@kaykorbel-metcalf8420]

Thank you for this and many other videos. I find the content presented in an easy to learn method. And there is no annoying music!

[@ELViGardens]

This channel is too undervalued. There’s many gardening channels and many of them are useful, but many talk so loud and so aggressively excited, that you get anxiety watching them. This guy just spits nothing but facts and great info in a very calm way, I can listen forever. Definitely trying this trick coming season.

[@marci.abraham]

Haha that is so true! I have had to literally block (mark as "do not recommend this channel") a couple of them now.

[@muleskinner485]

You are one of the few people that has the ability to clearly convey your information to an audience , great presentation, thanks for sharing................

[@candisfirchau3810]

Love that you share your knowledge. I accidently propagated my double knock out pink rose when I pruned in February. I did not pick up one branch and it became it's own rose!! It even bloomed this fall!!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Lol. Some people just have the "knack"

[@ColliCristina]

I love how you explain everything in a concise yet in-depth way. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Crisitina - I'm glad you're enjoying the vids

[@ettietti8533]

I would like to thank you sharing not just your knowledge but the experience especially about Canadian roses garden 😊💯👍👍👍

[@anitapeura3517]

This year I've been keeping some of the offcuts with good shoots on them and plugging them into the pots, hoping they may grow out into strong new plants on their own roots, rather than grafted ones. So far, in mid winter here (Australia) as buds are beginning to fatten, they're looking pretty vital and still growing. Never can tell what may grow from a cutting. and I hate to waste good shooting stems with so much life in them still. Thanks for these videos, always something more to learn, very encouraging!

[@leonardoalfonso7080]

One of my favorite aspects of your videos is the calming mountainous background. Would be cool to see a video of you someday discussing how the local topographies benefit your rose farm :)

[@barbottolino2519]

FLAWLESS video! Excellent information and camerawork. I plant for others and love to recommend sites to clients so they understand WHAT and WHY I do things. They appreciate the information. A well informed customer always wants more and more once they understand that success is achievable because one follows a scientific process. People like to be informed, even if they haven't the time or physical strength to do the work themselves. THANK YOU!!!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

My pleasure Barb. I'm in total agreement - your customers are way better off if you can give them the "why". Thanks!

[@tonylatimer1308]

Well said!

[@RR-ep6uc]

Wow. You are so detail and explaining in regards to plants what to do and how to do it. Thank you so much. Tomorrow I’m going to take a good look at my Roses. I feel this year I will have some beautiful blooms thanks to you. 🌷🌸🌈

Jason, I know this is older but I'm binge watching sense I only joined a year ago, I'm trying to see what I missed. Anyway I watched your video introducing good climbers and this is great to know stuff after you get your climber. Thank you so much for making it clear for us.

Thanks for the information. You mentioned the Seven Sisters rose at the beginning of the video. My mother has my Great, Great Grandmothers Seven Sisters rose that's been passed down thru the family. It's amazing how long they can last.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Lance. It's really inspiring to see garden-worthy roses preserved through sharing - and even moreso that it traveled under its own name!

[@nima16042]

fascinating and so much good information, much to ponder including layering and pegging!

[@SweetGumMinis]

Thank you for the video. I have a climbing rose that has been growing against our chicken run for years. I planted it there after buying it on clearance nearly dead and had no idea what it was. It has grown like crazy and thrives. Anyway, it has such a tangle of vines up on top of the run but many I can't reach to remove. However, there are at least a half dozen brand new vertical shoots this year on it and I've been trying to figure out what to do with them. I didn't want to lop them all off but your suggestion about training them horizontally is brilliant. I will get to work on that tomorrow. We planted a new white climbing rose on the other side of the run this year and I was SHOCKED that there are NO climbing roses locally to be bought. I don't know why they're sold out everywhere but they are. I was so disappointed. It's made me look into propagating roses which is where I stumbled on your channel. I have thought about attempting to propagate roses many times but never tried so this year we're going for it. We have a peach climbing rose that has extreme growth. There was a barn in the back that it was planted against and it grew up over the roof but I removed all but the original carport and it's in a strange place for such a gorgeous rose. I am trying to get more of that to put against the other barns or even on another side of the chicken run or another chicken run. I do love roses. I love your channel. Thanks again! :)

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Ashley - always great to hear from another rose enthusiast. And I definitely recommend giving cutting propagation a try

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Love both of those. Iceberg's a bit susceptible to black spot in my garden, but keeps blooming nonetheless

[@gayathriumesh]

I recently bought iceberg climber rose plant. I plan to train it on the fence. Does it produce flowers in the first year? Or does it take couple of years to continuously bloom as seen in pics online? Thanks!

[@2011liya]

@@gayathriumesh my iceberg is floribunda, it bloomed the year I bought, I think as long as you water and fertilize it well , it should bloom even it is small.

[@TheUntypicals]

To get rose climbers to flower more vertically train them in a looping "s" shape

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks. I'm sure I'll have to do some variation of that (or a barber-pole spiral) for my pillar roses.

[@cicibelarus1916]

How do you do that, wrap them around a trellis?

Thank you. We have several climbers, namely New Dawn, Viking Queen and Sally Holmes to tend to this week. Will see if we can extend the canes on Louise Odier and Yolande d’Aragon horizontally though space might be an issue.

Hi Jason I followed your pruning and training advice last year and the results were outstanding. So many more blooms, thank you. One question, do the very tips of the lateral stems continue to grow horizontally and put out even more buds on new growth this year? Your videos give me such confidence, keep them coming. Thanks Wendy

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Wendy. You'll have to respond to what the rose does - the main horizontal stems might continue to grow, and (space allowing) you can pin them horizontally along your support. The side-shoots can be trimmed back to just 2 or 3 nodes and they should initiate flowering beautifully. Best of luck!

[@gagaliar]

Thank You very much. Finally I found it. In the spring I will know what to do to get my climbers to bud along the stem and branch out. I have one to three stems on my climbing rose bushes and would like to know how I can get them to create more stems at the base like how yours are. They are about five years old and unsure that since they are young they just haven't had time with a short time to grow more as my roses don't start producing new growth until late April or May when the weather is finally nice. Thank you

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Hi Natalia. There's no real trick - just the basics: sunny spot, reasonable soil, consistent moisture and feeding & regular pruning to refresh the growth at the base.

We had a climbing rose don't know the name or type It had red flowers I loved it but my husband hated it after a year or Two he would cut it to the ground and it would grow back lush and beautiful a couple times he tried digging it up it was faithful it grew back after 23 yrs it finally died Best plant I ever had.

I enjoy watching your videos, thank you for sharing your expertise with us. Have you made a video about when to transplant a climbing rose in zone 8? Do you think it would be OK to move a climbing rose bush at this time in zone 8?This week we are going to be int upper 80's to mid 90's. I know is better to transplant a rose during the fall but I am afraid that if I wait until then the plant would be too big for me to handle. I just noticed that young climbing rose bush about 2 weeks ago, it seems the plant developed out of a steam that got buried under the dirt without me noticing it (I do not remember planting it). The reason I need to move it is because it kind of blocks the gate entrance to my yard, it definitely needs a better location. Your help is greatly appreciated.

[@pandantales1682]

Thank you for the clear and specific tutorial. You mentioned flowering shoots when you eliminated a branch that was growing forward. How do you identify a flowering shoot versus a leaf bud or shoot?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

I don't spend much time worried about what any particular stem will do - I aim for overall health and shape, and trust that if I leave enough horizontal stem in place, there will be development of flowering lateral shoots.

[@pandantales1682]

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thank you, it's just that you mentioned it so I was wondering. Usually rounder fatter buds indicate flower buds but I can't differentiate them on roses.

[@PaulDobson-ih6lc]

Have you compiled a video on training a rambling rose?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Nothing specific to ramblers, but it's on the list

[@PaulDobson-ih6lc]

That would be great! I don't want to prune out the flowering wood!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

One good way to approach that problem is with timing, reserving your heavier structural pruning cuts for after the bloom period. Nothing wrong with the more health-focused pruning first thing (dead, diseased, damaged, crossing, thin spindly stems congesting the center).

[@PaulDobson-ih6lc]

Thank you.... just typing in the growth to make a frame to go from.... it will be its second season in the ground so let's see how it grows this year!

[@marci.abraham]

I have "inherited" a strange situation: a climbing rose and a "regular" rose that were planted pretty much on top of each other and have grown into a tangle over many years. It took me a few prunings to realize what I was dealing with. Now I am trying to figure out how to make them play nice together! There is also a regular rose bush a few feet away to one side, and another climber several yards away in the other direction. I would prefer to separate them, but I suspect that would be difficult given their age and likely root systems. I've considered adding an arching trellis for the climber to give it somewhere to travel away from the bush. But this video made me reconsider due to the "horizontal" aspect. Maybe I need a low fence instead? Any ideas and suggestions would be most welcome!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Yes, I'd definitely look at a lower horizontal structure like a fence if it's at all practical.

Hi Tex - you bet, you can prune any branches you need to keep you climber "in bounds"

[@adriennem3168]

This is probably the most easy to understand video about pruning roses. One question, can I train horizontal main canes in a spiral shape around an arbor?

Yes - bending around an arbor is a great way to get some horizontal wood without having to take up too much real estate in the yard
