Unless your obelisk is really big a rambler might be too much for it. What varieties did you buy?

Glad you enjoyed!

It will grow new ones.

Generally it's called a Long Reach Pruner.

You're welcome. That's challenging growing conditions.

Great

Glad you like them!

I assume you mean a bud eye. I would suggest keep going down the cane until you find one that does not.

Hi there. It's a "long reach cut and hold pruner". www.bigfrogsupply.com/products/corona-lr-3460-long-reach-cut-n-hold-pruner-red?variant=30277642682464&currency=USD&gclid=Cj0KCQjwof6WBhD4ARIsAOi65aitkl65ff85u19Kz7iUovMSPN1Qrwi0hxcpuSPhKo8LrLb2GPvnFAwaAuNJEALw_wcB

I've never done it but I suggest you google it. There is some good information out there on it.

Hi Karen. Sorry to hear about your husband but lovely that you are looking after his roses. I don't have videos on winter protection but I suggest you join my Facebook Discussion Group called Paul Zimmerman Roses Gardening. There are a lot of experienced rose growers in your climate with practical experience. Just ask to join, answer the questions and we'll admit you.

@@Paulzimmermanroses well I deadheaded the roses and they look so much better. (clearing up tomorrow lol)

You're very welcome!

Thank you 🙌

Welcome

Great questions. Yes, you can cut flowers off the end. I was referring to cutting a main cane very low. The one you cut shouldn't hurt the rose. It will send other canes up to replace it. When I have thick laterals I often "turn" them into main canes and tie them against the structure.

@@Paulzimmermanroses so helpful thank you. This rose is a big one for me to manage as a novice (the generous gardener David Austin) and its sent huge laterals off this year. Far too many more than I need but I have still only got 2 good main canes coming out the bottom since last year. The extra canes coming from the ground have had to be cut out as they are extremely thin and would struggle to hold anything. But if you say I can tie the laterals in then this helps me a lot to cover the space where main canes have failed to grow. I can turn nearly all the huge laterals into main canes. A massive Thanks Paul!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Wonderful!

You'll love them.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Some are harder than others but it can be done. That's what rose breeders do all the time with their crosses.

Glad you liked it and those pruners are great!

Thank you so much!

Nothing. Let the rose start to put out new ones. It will grow back in.

Thank you!

Thanks and welcome

Sorry to hear that. They can be brutal.

Glad you enjoyed it and it is a great tool!

Thank you very much!

Glad to help

When I lived in Los Angeles we would prune our roses in late December. That forced a dormant period. That worked well. Stopping deadheading in your climate will not trigger dormancy. Without a true winter you won't have a dormant period.

@@Paulzimmermanroses why cant you move back to LA? I need you!

@@survivingitall5263 Thanks! I do remote consulting if that would help.

You need to train the main canes sideways as much as possible. That will produce laterals. But you can cut the flowers on the top of the main cane.

@@Paulzimmermanroses thank you very much for your answer to my question. I got it!!

@@emikoyamashita4597 Great!

Take off the whole head. Climbing roses will begin to put out their true climbing canes during their first year.

@@Paulzimmermanroses Thank you so much for your prompt reply. Really appreciated. I had previously searched the internet and been unable to find an answer.

@@ceciliaeastwood8947 My pleasure.

Thank you! 😊

I don't deadhead spring flowering roses. Better to let them set hips. If you want to cut it back right after it flowers is the time to do so.

@@Paulzimmermanroses I've actually never cut it back. I believe it's a once-booming climber. It grows really really tall leggy canes. It arches over and shoots laterals off of the main canes. and with the weight of the flowers it makes it Cascade down like a waterfall in the center of a pond that shoots up. It's really pretty when it flowers heavily heavily scented. The only thing I've ever done is cut Deadwood out. Because it doesn't Bloom on new wood at all it only blooms on 2nd year wood.

@@Paulzimmermanroses I've posted it everywhere to try to get it ID. But to no avail. I guess I'll have to use DNA when it's readily available to the public.

Then I would leave it alone. Maybe take out an old cane now and then.

I saw some photos from you on my group page but no closer shots of the flowers. Do you have any?

You're welcome.

Glad you liked it
