  • My red rose has stopped eating passing children & pets and looks amazing after proper hacking back & weaving into the arbor. I was going to remove it because I have never been anygood at roses BUT it was the only thing that would bloom in my yard. So now I have it and 4 other roses! Thank you!

  • @vrrusa I'm glad it helped and I'm guessing the children and pets are too!!!

  • You can maintain it the way you would most other climbing roses. Keep the laterals trimmed back during the season and during pruning time. Wind new main canes into it as they come up. Every now and then you may need to unwrap to cut out an old cane but not every year.

  • You would use the same technique and simply train it as it grows. It's actually easier with a new rose.

  • Sounds like powdery mildew. You can use a mild fungicide or just let it go away. As the rose matures you will probably see less of it.

  • Very good point on moving slowly.  I'm getting great tips from everyone and I'm thinking at some point a video of readers tips might be in order.

  • Nice idea- but how does one maintain the pillar rose from season to season? Does it have to be undone, pruned, and then rewrapped each year? Or is it possible to maintain the rambling rose on the pillar from season to season?

  • @ORWWmedia I agree 100%  The secret is moving slowly and deliberately (rather than at a "professional" pace), and has the added advantage of meticulous observation regarding scarring, bugs, spots, etc

  • Cool, thanks!

  • I am totally new to rose growing and came across your videos (joy!). As my first ever rose-growing endeavor, I am considering growing a 4th of July Climbing rose up the iron scrollwork of my porch. Would I use this same technique on a small rose-ling (name for baby rose?) or would a different method be used if starting with junior plant? All your videos seem to start with big, strapping specimens...thanks!!

  • I have a America that has a White powdery looking stuff on the new growth once the leaves turn green the substance goes away. Anyone have any ideas it doesnt seem to be hurting it. I have a Don Juan with a Blaze and a climbing peace in a cluster and the America is the only one having this problem
