  • Very useful, thank you

  • sir,,, can u give me any advise what should i do to plant any climbing rose?... well except from seeds,, i want to plant also a rootbearing rose because i have much chances that it will really grow,, would it be possible for a root bearing rose to travel way long from canada to philippines?...

  • my aunt order it for me,,, because i really love roses,, and our place dont have any climbing roses thats why i cant plant any expect having a seed,, thanks anyway for ur response sir,,,

  • hello sir AshdownRoses,,, your vid is really helpful,, i just wanna ask,, im here in a tropical country and i have climbing rose seeds (well soon to come) ... how will i make sure that my climbing rose will surely grow?.. aside frm taking care of like like my other rose?.. does it need some special care?...

  • @claireisraellove It doesn't really need special care. Just like any other climber. I'm curious. Where are you getting rose seeds from? Very unusual to be sold that way.

  • your great man

  • You are so awesome! I've been trying to grow roses for the past couple years in hopes of having those beautiful arbors, fences etc just full of blooms, but instead I get some sticks with a few blooms on them. You have answered so many questions I have had about how to grow and prune my roses. (and I still haven't learned about the fertilization aspect yet) ....I am so excited now to get find my pruning clippers and start cutting! Thank you so much! I will be watching your videos frequently.

  • Sir main cane!!!...lol

  • oh i am loving your videos! i have been looking at them just terrified to touch or even look at them funny. moved into a home that had roses loved the blooms but just not sure how to keep them coming and keep my now one 1/2 year old from scratch himself when he got too close now i feel i can take on these gorgeous plants and keep them. Thank you so much

  • @cobbhousehold6 I'm so glad you like them and they are useful. Be sure to join us on our discussion forum on our website paulzimmermanroses if you have any questions!

  • Thanks and have fun Knighting!!

  • This is exactly what I was looking for thank you so much! Its alot easier than I thought. I hope if I "knight" any laterals, I can do it with as much pomp and circumstance as you did in the video! lolllllllllll :-) I'm trying to get these little guys over an arbor and I've seen those stragglers at the base too. Gotta go grab the pruners! thanks again!

  • You can take care of Don Juan just any other climbing rose. It's very easy to work with. As to what kind of trellis a lot of that is up to you in terms of what you think will like good in your garden. If you want wood something like a 4x8 foot lattice sheet would work. Where are you going to put the trellis?

  • Enjoy and thanks.

  • @AshdownRoses - Hello.. I want to thank you for your very instructional video,I learned a lot and I'm thankful. I recently purchased a "Don Juan Climbing Rose" ( which I'm totally in love with) I would like to know if this specific climbing rose is pruned or taken care of differently then the rest, and what kind of trellis do you recommend me to purchase for my climbing rose?

  • At last not only information on how to prune a climbing rose but actually watching it made sense. out to do my six now. Thank you

  • I'm so glad. New Dawn is a lovely rose. Keep in mind you can keep trimming the laterals all season long to keep it under control.

  • I have two New Dawn climbing roses that have gotten so out of control on the arbor that I was about to give up and dig them out. Thank you for this video! You spared their lives!

  • I wish I had seen this video last year! It will take some doing to get control of our climber - but at least this video explains how to do it and does so very understandably. Thank you for posting such an informative and well done video!

  • great! thank you from Paris

  • Finally a good presentation. Too many folks just snap away at the plant while talking jibberish. Don't learn anything at all. Good job.

  • Thanks and I'm glad you like it.

  • This is an excellent video with clear sightlines and informative details without being intimidating. Thank you.

  • You'll know by the growth habit. Cut out deadwood only and then let's watch the growth habit this year. Can you email me some photos?

  • How can you tell you have a climbing rose or a normal bush? I bought a place last summer and it has a rose bush and I heard from the neighbor it hasn't been taken care of. It had holes in the leaves last summer and few blooms that I can remember. I don't know if it is a climber or if it just hasn't been pruned properly.

  • You're welcome. I find when I'm working with the climbing roses which ones to promote just makes sense.

  • I like your concept of promoting to maine cane, I'll keep that in mind... funny and inspiring...

    Sheers from Paris

  • Glad you liked it and found it useful. We are all ready planning more for this season.

  • This was absolutely the best explanation on how to prune a climbing rose bush! I can't wait for the weekend so I can get out and get my 30+ year old climbing rose bush in shape for the blooming season! Thank You!!!

  • FINALLY...Love this guy....he made it easy for me to understand and addresses much more than most other videos do.  Plus...he is funny too!!!!

    Thanks for the information!!! I am off to prune!!!

  • Thanks for all the kind comments and glad you like the videos.

  • Great video!! I gathered more info by listening and watching; a lot more than just reading. Thanks for your help!

  • wow thanks for the video it's very informative, and funny too =) haha bbq..great videos =)

  • Excellent video.

  • I fell in love with roses several years ago when I found over 30 roses in the overgrown yard of a house I was renting at the time. Now I own a house on a small lot and am starting to collect old roses. So far I've got 8. I've been gradually learning with books and trial and error. I think your videos will save me a lot of error. And I no longer think I am nuts for trying! My roses are beautiful, and now I know better how to keep them that way. Thanks.

  • Excellent video. Very clear instructions - this man knows how to communicate!

  • Don't prune them. Just pick off the leaves if it bothers you.

  • Really good video. I understand a lot more now than I did before. What I need to know is how to prune roses when those little brown spots appear on the leaves ... after the first bloom

  • Thank you and pass the word around.

  • watched all your videos, great teaching for beginner, thanks and please keep the videos coming.

  • Thank you for the great review!

  • wow...the best instructional ive ever seen on youtube. this guy has a great personality and crisp teaching method . thank you so much, this was the most informative gardening vid ive seen all year on YT.... nice job.

  • A Rose Guru! I've never been one before - thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful and your comment about understanding the basics is exactly what I'm hoping for. Now run with it!

  • It's official. You are my rose guru. I got into climbing roses about a year ago but I never paid much attention to pruning since it always seemed more difficult than college algebra. Now I understand the basics. This weekend I will try to pillar a rose. Please keep those videos coming.

  • Comment removed

  • Exactly. And now that you know the difference between main canes and lateral and which ones you should and should not prune it will keep blooming every year.  Glad it helped you!

  • You are very funny, but that explains why this is the 1st time my climbing queen elizabeth is going to bloom, this is it's 3rd year.

    Very informative.
