I've recently purchased a house with a climbing rose plant. It has not been maintained for some time. There

are at least 3 long woody branches (about 15 ft.in length) which have flowered this summer. I%26#039;d like to get it under control but I%26#039;m not sure how to trim (or should I say cut back) woody branches without ruining the plant. Any advice?

It is pretty hard to harm a climbing rose. You can be pretty aggressive with your pruning and not harm the basic plant.





Most rose bushes are pruned in mid February or so. This lets the bush put out new growth after most of the cold weather. If you prune in the fall, you run the risk of having some new growth that will freeze during the winter.
