Perfect timing! I have several climbers that I have neglected the last couple of years😒. So this popped up during coffee break and has inspired and encouraged me to head that way. Pruners and snips are sharp and cleaned, roses gloves are handy and off I go! Thank you sooooo much! Love your channel❤️❣️❤️🌈
I absolutely love your series on the old roses and rose history. From your own remarks, I gather that many of your followers don't much like the historical side of things, but it absolutely fascinates me and I can't be all that unusual. Would you consider doing more on history (you seem to have left out the moschata). Or maybe something on the great breeders of the past, such as Meilland or Pemberton or (one of my favourites) Harkness. It might be one way to rekindle interest in the older roses. I can't warm to the scentless, unformed, miniatures which fill the bulk stores and it's my old roses' history I love as much as their appearance.
This is very helpful. I have been considering buying a climber to train to a low fence. But the fence will need painting periodically and that concerned me. But now I can see that I could just untie the canes to paint the fence as needed. Thanks!
another excellent video, I have worked with many gardeners who are reluctant to do the extensive pruning that improves the performance and health of plants,thanks for demonstrating an encouraging effective pruning, like the highlighting, wonder why it is in a pot rather than the ground , because of your clay soil, high water table?
Thanks. In this part of the yard, I'm planting atop an existing septic field, and I didn't want to risk the roots interfering with the drain pipes. It sure would be easier to train on this fence with and extra 2 feet of height to play with!
Hi Jason, how about a video encouraging the creation of national groups of garden rose growers? I'm from Brazil and we already have a group of 36 members. Thank you for your wonderful videos!
Thank you for this Jason! I have two Mme Plantier from cuttings I took a couple years ago. I read conflicting info , is it a climber, a rambler??? I don’t have really good location for them so I’ll try them in a big pot with a treillis. I rescued them from my former house, a once bloomer but wonderful fragrance
Yes. Your success in rooting will depend on what conditions you can provide. I suspect S. India is a lot warmer than I'm accustomed to for propagation - maybe in a shady spot to begin
I just bought 2 climbing roses (bare root, Pilgrim variety) this week! Your videos are great. Thank you for sharing! I do have a question. I'm planning on planting the climbers so they climb the corners of our brick bungalow. Would you recommend I use a flat trellis between the plant and the brick to train them?
Right on Whitney - happy to hear about the new additions to your garden. Yes, a trellis is the traditional way of offering a support, and the brick limits your options a bit.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thanks so much. I will start investigating. Since I'm starting with bareroot (one word or two?) I'm thinking I have the season to decide?
can I take this tack on a Zephirine Drouhin? I have one that is 30 years old and another that is four. I over-pruned the second 30 year old one five years ago and killed it, so I have been loathe to touch the other one. Thanks.
Depends on where you are. In my mild temperate climate, this is a fine time for a hard prune. In a much warmer climate, there may be better times to tackle it.
Hello! This was super helpful, just watched the update too! I also have a question. We have a large climber in our backyard that has outgrown its small metal trellis. It's surviving and blooming well, but at the risk of pulling the trellis over and into the peonies that share the same bed. Would you recommend trimming back pretty aggressively to retrain on a new and larger trellis? And more importantly, what is the best season for a project like this? We're in zone 6b.
Yes, if the rose is otherwise healthy and you're planning to retrain, a hard prune is a reasonable first step. Generally pick a low-stress time in late winter/early spring, but even now is fine.
Weird question im hoping you can answer. Ive been getting bouquet roses for a bit now from my boyfriend, he will bring one home when one finally dies. Ive noticed that the... Heads of the flower whether it is a rose or not... Will develop these root like things? They dont looke like traditional roots in like the ground but thicker and usually a light yellow or green... I havent found any info on them.. Love your videos btw
Hey Jason! I’m from Ukraine and back home we used to make a rose jam. Do you think it would of been Damask rose. If so what kind would you recommend that I should get. Love all your videos. ❤️
Hi Mira. If the rose hips are wild-collected, I think they may be from relatives of the Dog Rose, Rosa canina, which is common in the region and is well know for producing plentiful hips.
Hi, I have a question and I need help. I have a climber rose, and it's growing in the ground. We've trained it to grow up the front wall and then come cascading down from the top. It looks absolutely stunning when in bloom. But now since we are getting that area reconstructed, we need to remove it from there. But I don't want it damaged, I want to try and keep it viable, so I can retrain it after the construction is over. The trouble is, I only have one branch/cane going all the way up to the very top (branches there) and that cane is massive by now, old woody growth with a diameter of as much as that of an arm. If I prune that woody cane from somewhere in the middle (where it's really thick), will it still throw new shoots from there, for me to train them again later? Can old woody growth throw out new growth when pruned? And if so, how high above the ground can I prune it to? Your help will be much appreciated.
There's a good chance than an otherwise healthy rose will throw new shoots from dormant buds lower on the stem. How low? Pretty much as low as it needs to.
I doubt you did much harm. Even if you take them right back to the main, there are often dormant buds at the base of the lateral - and they will take over.
Hi Christina - this part of my garden is site above a septic field, and I don't want vigorous roots extending far enough down to interfere with the drain pipes.
Very clear and helpful. If you can, please post an update later - would love to see how the rose responds
Yes, love to see an update also 🌹🌹🌹
You bet - I'll be sure to follow up with this rose later in the season when it comes into bloom

Thanks, Jason. I always learn so much from you. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with all of us. ❤️
Amazing how roses can recover from such stuff

Thanks Elizabeth. Best of luck with your climber!
Great video, would also like to see it when it blooms ⚘⚘⚘
You got it Claire. I'll do a follow-up in the season
Perfect thank you 😊👍
Great video Jason as always really helpful and informative 👍
Thank you. Hoping to do this today with our New Dawn and Viking Queen climbing roses.
Another great, informative and practical video, thanks!
Thanks Bryony!
Pruning a huge madame Cecile Bruner right now, great timing :)
Excellent - good luck with your pruning
Amazing video, thanks!!! PS: the marriage comment had me rolling! Lol
Thanks Juan. For me it would be funny if it weren't also very true!

I am wondering the same thing about why the pot not the ground?

Amazing 🤩
Blessings for you and your family
🤦♀️ just done mine! Hopefully all will be well. I went a bit mad 😔 thanks Jason
Very useful, thank you! Can I ask why you keep this rose in a container and not in the ground?
Amazing to see these climbers are in pots.
Hi Jason, how about a video encouraging the creation of national groups of garden rose growers? I'm from Brazil and we already have a group of 36 members. Thank you for your wonderful videos!
That's fantastic! Thanks Octávio
Nice tutorial. I have this rose. It's beautiful, but loaded with thorns.
Plus, you're a respectful husband.
Nice work, Jason! Particularly like the tarp: working in a communally tended garden, I could strangle other rose pruners who just let it all drop...
Thank you for this great tutorial!🙏🏻💕💕💕👍👍👍
Thank you for this Jason!

Mine is small yet. I've planned to grow it as a lax freestanding shrub.
Is it in a container? Or the contauner is bottomless?
The container has holes in the bottom. I'll bet there are some roots that come through, but hopefully not down to the depth of the nearby drain pipes.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm are the drain pipes the reason you've kept it in a container?
Sorry a newbie here. I am from S India and have just ordered for some climbing roses. But my question is can we use these cut canes for planting?
Yes. Your success in rooting will depend on what conditions you can provide. I suspect S. India is a lot warmer than I'm accustomed to for propagation - maybe in a shady spot to begin
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you

For sure - and it's especially important with a much older rose to begin removal of a portion of the older stems to encourage rejuvenation.
Awesome informative video, cheers dude! 😁
Is it too late to hard prune a bush rose, thanks
Depends on where you are. In my mild temperate climate, this is a fine time for a hard prune. In a much warmer climate, there may be better times to tackle it.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thank you so much for your response, I’m in London UK 5-14 centigrade 1 at night.

Hi Mira. If the rose hips are wild-collected, I think they may be from relatives of the Dog Rose, Rosa canina, which is common in the region and is well know for producing plentiful hips.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you so much. Rose jam that we used to make was from rose petals.
Thanks for the video! What do you do with all the wood left over?
Some times of year I'll stick cuttings from the hardwood stems, but more often it's just chipped and added to a compost pile.
Great video! Where are you located - what zone?
Hi John. Zone 8
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Lucky you - 4b here.
Is it in a container?
Hi Appu - yes, I grew this one in a large plastic pot because I don't want the roots to disturb some drain pipes in the area.
Hi, I have a question and I need help.
I have a climber rose, and it's growing in the ground. We've trained it to grow up the front wall and then come cascading down from the top. It looks absolutely stunning when in bloom.

There's a good chance than an otherwise healthy rose will throw new shoots from dormant buds lower on the stem. How low? Pretty much as low as it needs to.
Can I ask why this is in a pot rather than in the ground?
Just a location issue - I have a shallow septic field in the area, and didn't want the roots to go exploring too far down.
I just pruned my climber for the first time yesterday. I cut the lateral stems much more aggressively than you did. Hope I didn't kill it. 🤦♀️
I doubt you did much harm. Even if you take them right back to the main, there are often dormant buds at the base of the lateral - and they will take over.
What's the name of that rose?
Rosarium Uetersen
This was painful to watch. I HATE pruning my roses. But I know they love a good prune.
Why are you growing it in a pot?
Hi Christina - this part of my garden is site above a septic field, and I don't want vigorous roots extending far enough down to interfere with the drain pipes.
