I had a request from a fellow KZbinr, Jay jay, asking if it was possible to say/show how I prune my Mme. Alfred Carriere Climbing Roses. This is my first attempt and I hope it's of some interest. All roses behave differently and you have to get to know them. I prune it back usually before Christmas. Some new canes I keep and tie in. Some I cut back to three buds, third leaf. I hope that at least two will shoot but it's usually only one. The following year I'll cut back to below that shoot to keep things tight. You can also actually cut right back to a cane and do what is called 'stumping'. Leave the 'stump' 3 - 4 mm high. New shoots will emerge from that 'stump' - usually. Keep what you want. This rose, like most roses, is very forgiving, and is usually very healthy and has no thorns. I'll do another video in 2 - 3 weeks time when the shoots will have grown some more and things will be a bit clearer.
I shall also be doing one of my Pink Flower Carpet by request.
Any questions - please ask.
