Sue, Just bare in mind that you don’t want to do significant pruning until the plant is dormant, in winter. Autumn is to lightly prune to get ready but you can begin to train the plant
@@diyhomeandgardeningone of the few people who showed the stems "years of growth", that was really interesting! I'm a complete novice. Question related to that: do those stems still produce any foliage or flowers?
@@sharileenlimpin5534 Hi. Many thanks for watching glad you have found the video to be helpful. You don’t have to worry about being new to gardening, we all have to start somewhere. The older stems will produce fresh shoots but will not really produce much leaf themselves, it’s the newer growth that carries the leaves and flowers. It is for that reason that a good framework is developed, as the bigger and better the framework is the more fresh shoots will be produced during the growing season. More shoots equates to more flowers. If you need more help then feel free to message me either here or via instagram, under the same name. All the best with your garden 🌸🌼

When I moved in new home, Dogwood tree barely bloomed and was full of dead wood and had borer insects having their way with it hence all the woodpecker action. I pruned it, treated it and stood back. The following spring it was a totally different tree. It thanked me beyond belief! Pruning is the best thing you can do for most plants. Some respond to simple deadheading. But to ignore a plant, is to deny it the fullness of its potential beauty. You did a wonderful job on this rose. David Austins NEVER DISAPPOINT!
So pleased you had a great result with your Cornus. As you say, plants do often need a prune to keep them at their best. Certainly removing dead sections always works wonders. Enjoy your gardening and keep up the good work.
Hi Katy. Many thanks for watching and for taking the time to message, very much appreciated. 🌹 Glad you now have confidence to tackle your climbing rose. Just remember that you won’t kill it if you accidentally remove a wrong piece and the plant will soon regrow next year. All the best 🌸
Thank you so much for this very detailed video!!! My David Austin climbing roses are only a year old but they are already gaining height quickly and I am installing trellises this summer. Thanks to your video I now know how to properly create a trellis and tie them in 👍
This video helps a lot to the ones like myself who are pretty new to gardening world and don’t have a mentor. I have a big old climbing rose to tackle this week and I feel heaps more confident. Thanks. Would LOVE to see an update on it sometime in the future. 👍🌸
Thanks for your message and glad the video gives you some more confidence. It’s fine to cut back the Roses a bit at the moment but proper pruning should wait until the plants are properly dormant in the winter months.

Thanks for a great video on training climbing roses. What do you do with a cane that points directly away from the fence/trellis? Do you cut it off or train it back onto the fence/trellis?
@@AJICams Hi. Many thanks for watching and the question. With a stem that leads away from the fence or trellis it all depends on how young or flexible the stem is. If it’s a new stem or a stem that is still pliable then I would try to pull it closer to the fence in stages. Use string, wrapping round the fixing and stem twice to reduce strain on the rose stem, and gently pull the stem in to the fence. When you feel resistance then secure into place. After another week then try to ease the stem in a little more. Continue over the course of a few months. If the stem is an old stem and not able to bend then I would suggest removing it. Cutting the older stem off will encourage fresh growth to develop, which you can then train how you like. Hope this helps you 🪴🌹
Hi Holly. Thanks for watching and your message. I didn’t make an updated video but maybe this spring if I’m back at the customers house. Hope the video helped you with your own roses 🌹
Wonderful. Thanks. How far apart is the wire? I also plant the climber 1 meter from the fence, i think it is to far. This is the rose second year, is it better to transplant it this year., or can i cut the front branches off. 😊
Hi Susan. Many thanks for watching and the questions. The wires are spaced 30cm (1ft) apart on the vertical, starting 30cm above ground level. For planting climbers and climbing roses normal planting distance is about 45cm (18inches) away from the fence, and then pulling the plant stems back to the fence. The distance away from fence allows for root development, and more importantly easy access for watering. If I way you I would move the rose now whilst it is dormant. Start by digging around the plant a couple of feet away from the main stem and then you can slowly work in until finding root growth. Plant again at the same depth but it’s worth adding a bit of fresh compost. All the best and happy new year 🌼

love to glean some information from you - Watching you from Central Canada, Zone 4 - I planted 3 Climbing roses {David Austins], in one spot, each 18 inches from the other..........5 years ago... now, they are quite tall, I have let them just grow as one bush - wherein they are able to flop and arch to their hearts desire. I needed to create a Security block, as I had a Peeping Tom looking into that window. My question is - I seem to have Leaf Cutter Bees here - and they cut circles out of my rose leafs.......how would you tackle them, or would you just allow nature to do their thing. Should I be fertilizing my plants? I have left my garden go quite natural over time, and have revived the Fireflies to come back to my area. I do not want to harm the eco system for these Fireflies... however, I have been wondering if perhaps I should separate my 3 rose plants, and space them out along my fence? What advice do you have for me? Thank you so much for helping.... appreciate your Wisdom.
Hi. First of all many thanks for watching the video and your message and questions. Obviously you know that you planted the roses too close to each other but I would say too much time has passed to be able to successfully lift and move them, not without cutting right down which then means it would be easier to buy some new ones. I would go with setting out some wires like I do and then train the roses to cover a larger area. If you can get more coverage lower down then the roses will shoot upwards to create a more dense covering at the top. You could always plant another climbing rose 2 or 3 metres away to allow the old and new roses to join together. Alternatively, you could grow Lonicera, grape vines or Parthenocissus to provide some dense cover for you! Quite a few Clematis are also cold tolerant enough for where you are. On to leaf cutter bees. Here all bees are essentially protected so just leave them to do their thing. That’s the joy and annoyance or working with nature😄. The bees only go for the soft leaves and petals to use as nesting material. Not sure if this is helpful to you but hopefully 🌸🌸 Just a thought but what about Berberis, something like atropurpureum as a spiky plant to counter your intruder? All the best 🪴
Great job, that’ll be a lot healthier this year. The wire holding the large middle stem will damage it long term, try flexi tie, that’s perfect for roses
Thanks for the feedback and interest. Yes the Rose will definitely perform better. Unfortunately flexi tie doesn’t have that much strength, it looks good but doesn’t have much longevity so not the best environmentally either. Using a double loop of 4mm coated wire, whilst strong, doesn’t actually put much direct pressure onto the stem as the load is spread. Longer term, fresh growth will be used to replace the more unruly stems.
Would you use same method if you want to train your climbing rose around an old tree stump? So more of a curved surface not flat like a fence… I would love to see a photo of the rose you pruned when it came back in Spring! :)
Hi Kimberly. Same pruning method for around a tree stump. For tying in layer the stems in more of a corkscrew appearance, so they don’t go straight up, to get more flowers. I think I have pictures of the rose flowering on my Instagram page.
Hi. Thanks for watching and messaging. The easy answer is bend it slowly and carefully. If it is new growth then it will bend much more easily but will have a tendency to suddenly snap if you are putting too much pressure in one place. You can use your string to pull the stem down a bit and then pull it tighter once the stem has relaxed into its new position. That may have to happen over the course of days or even weeks. If the growth is mainly new side stems that have borne flowers they can be cut back anyway, unless you wish to use them for framework. The main thing is to take your time and not to worry too much. If you make a mistake or a stem breaks don’t worry as a new stem will soon grow back. Hope this helps but if you get stuck just message. I’m also on Instagram under the same name so if you want to send pictures of the problem sections you can always do that. All the best 🌸
Hi and thanks for watching and your message. The wire I use for creating the framework is 3mm in thickness with a coating over the top, although you can get that grade wire without a coating. If you are setting out the wires at this time of year, whilst it is colder, then you will need to tighten the wires again once the temperatures warm and cause the wire to stretch. Happy gardening 🌹
Thanks for your message. No reason that you can’t use them but for stretching wire over just a couple of fence panels there generally is not that much slack and loss of tension. Over a longer distance then a turn buckle works well, especially with thicker gauge wire.
Hi. Thanks for your message. Roses are only available to buy as plants. After flowering they will sometimes produce seeds but the seeds will not grow into the same plant type. This is why roses are propagated from cuttings so they stay true to the same plant characteristics and flower colour etc. You may be able to obtain plants from online companies but don’t know about your import laws to advise any more.
@@diyhomeandgardening Thank you so much. I'm searching here in my country for last few days. But I'm unable to found that. Anyway best of luck for your informative channel :)
No problem at all. Whilst not the best place to purchase some things from, channels like eBay and Amazon can have their place. Again, not sure if you have that option but maybe a similar type of delivery service. Good luck sourcing plants and your gardening.
Hi Inna. Thanks for watching and the message. The climber was old and already established before I made the start on training it, so a perfect look would not have been achievable. Over time more of the older growth will be removed as new stems allow for rejuvenation. Whilst the middle section didn’t look as balanced as it would if being trained from scratch, the rest of the sections should be arched and splayed as they do. Unfortunately too many people think that training a climbing rose is to tie it in a fan formation. Hope your roses do well for you. If you need any help feel free to message 🌸
Would love to see the rose in bloom…. To see all your hard work!

The wires are spaced 30cm (1ft) apart on the vertical, starting 30cm above ground level.
For planting climbers and climbing roses normal planting distance is about 45cm (18inches) away from the fence, and then pulling the plant stems back to the fence.

In the U.K. proper pruning and training is done in the dormant period between November/December and February. Hope this helps.

No problem at all. Whilst not the best place to purchase some things from, channels like eBay and Amazon can have their place. Again, not sure if you have that option but maybe a similar type of delivery service.
Good luck sourcing plants and your gardening.
It seems to me so many crossings were left..
Hi Inna. Thanks for watching and the message.
The climber was old and already established before I made the start on training it, so a perfect look would not have been achievable. Over time more of the older growth will be removed as new stems allow for rejuvenation.
Whilst the middle section didn’t look as balanced as it would if being trained from scratch, the rest of the sections should be arched and splayed as they do.
Unfortunately too many people think that training a climbing rose is to tie it in a fan formation.
Hope your roses do well for you. If you need any help feel free to message 🌸
