Interlocking the canes like you mention might work. Some roses with longer, lax canes will actually self peg. That's about the only thing I can think of.

Your video is very informative. Thanks. I pegged two Celsiana rose bushes on July 27th - dome configuration - and so far there is no sign of any growth on the stems. How long will it take to grow new side branches? Thanks.

@hembhuvan It depends on weather and time of year. In summer I would not be surprises if it takes a month or unil the weather cools down.

Glad it helped.

thanks this is so clear and easy to understand, at last I understand what pegging really means.

this is a good video, I'm about to move to a house with some roses but most of them are dead no body was taking care of them and they have a weird shape, gonna buy some fertilizer and try to shape them

Is there a way to do any of the pegging methods without having to physically tie down the canes? I take care of hundreds of HTs, Climbers and Shrub Roses and the bane of my existence doing so is having to fiddle with the green stretchy tape or bamboo cages getting stuck with thorns in the process. On some gangly climbers that I have in a pot I sort of have been doing the dome method instinctively but I just curve it inward until the canes thorns keep them interlocked.

Found myself responsible for 9 beautifull rose bushes & cllmbers, without the foggiest. Thanks for your crystalline guidance.

@viking7779 sorry, typo's

Great video! I almost pruned my climbers all the way down until I watched this video. Thank you!.
