Kristine, many thanks for watching and your message so glad you have found the video helpful. Hope you have fun pruning your rose and getting a good show of flowers from it. 🌹🌼

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.

Many thanks for the message, much appreciated. Hope the video is of use to you. If I work at the gardens during flowering time then I’ll do another video.

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

Many thanks for watching and the message, much appreciated. Hope your rose does equally well to give a great floral display 🌺

Christine, you are welcome and I’m glad you feel confident to train them. Out of interest which Rose varieties have you gone for?

Hi Jin Many thanks for watching and for taking the time to message, really appreciate it. I never realised that concrete fence posts were not common place as in the U.K. probably half of fences are done this way, the rest with timber. So pleased you have subscribed and hopefully you will find a few other videos of interest. You can grow plenty of things that I can’t, due to climate, but hopefully you can add a few plants to your garden to get the neighbours jealous. All the best 🌸🌼

@@diyhomeandgardening I have subscribed to your channel . As a matter of fact I have neighbors who wants me to share my roses with them now I get an idea from you what to do., mistakes and corrections . I will definitely flopping my roses over their yards and I gave them permission before hand to cut roses to bring it in. Now, I am prepping everything and hopefully I can buy DA roses and old garden roses like Merchal Neil . I am so happy to see your vlog Bec it helps me in a long run. Thank you so much. Orlando, Florida

@@jin8339 enjoy sunny Florida 🌻

Kerry. Many thanks for watching and your message. That’s great that your rose has recovered and that you have a plan for training it. Hopefully it will reward you with plenty of colour this summer. 🌹

Thanks. Yes Roses really do respond well to pruning and training.

Many thanks, I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. I hope your roses perform well for you.

Thank you for your message and enthusiasm 👍🌹

Glad the video helped. Thanks for watching and your message.

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 🌸

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.

@@diyhomeandgardening Forgot to mention, it’s at the end of winter down here in Australia. 🙂

@@jadec.2622 well you are good to go then 😂

So pleased that the video helps. Many thanks for taking the time to message to let me know. Enjoy your gardening 🌸🌹

​@@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 🌸🌼

@@diyhomeandgardening amazing. Now i have a better idea whuch variety to choose. Thank you again 🌹

Thanks for that I’m glad you liked the video. 👍

Many thanks for watching, very much appreciated. All the best with your roses 🌹

Thank you for watching. Hope it helps you 🌼🫐

Thanks for watching. Good luck with starting off your plant. I am also on instagram you want to send pictures of the plant to see if I can identify if it is actually a rose. All the best and enjoy the flowers 🤞🌸

@diyhomeandgardening OK that sounds wise. I'll look you up thank you!

Thanks a lot. Glad you liked it v

Many thanks, much appreciated 🌹

Thanks for watching and the message. Good luck with your climbing rose 🪴🌻

Melanie, many thanks for watching and taking the time to message. Very much appreciated. Enjoy the rest of the good autumn weather 🌹

I am in Johannesburg South Africa so we are now in Spring weather untill end of October and just watching my many roses putting out new sprouts after the end of winter pruning that I did in the first week of August . I will be putting into practice what I have learnt on this video . Thanks again.

@@melenelewis2955 Melene, many thanks for watching and for your message, glad the video has been of use to you. It always amazes me to think of these latter months being a spring or summer period in another country. Hope you have a great gardening year 🌹🌸

Thanks

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.

Hi Sue. Many thanks for watching and for taking the time to message, much appreciated. Glad the video will be of use to you and hope your rose works out as you plan, giving you a great show of flowers next year. All the best 🌸🌹

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 🌼

Thank you for your comment ❤️ More importantly though thanks for watching the video and I hope it was useful to you for your roses. All the best 🌺

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 🌹

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 🪴

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 Christina. Thanks for watching and the message. This rose is in a garden that I do maintenance work in so I can only do an update when next there. I should be there in a weeks time so will add an update picture to the community page for you. All the best with your roses 🌹 🌼

​@@diyhomeandgardeningplease is there an update? 👀

@@shanelpaige2152 Hi Shanel. Thanks for watching and the message. I haven’t done any update videos as the rose is at a customers house and I need to be there. I may have some photos of the plant on my instagram account but not sure when. Hope your rose pruning and training goes well for you 🌸🌹

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 🌸

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

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 🌸
