Climbing roses

wolfe15136
17 years ago

Try as I may, my climbing roses continue to disappoint me. The rose people say minimal pruning, but then they flop all over everything and try to take over the world.

Prune and tie back to constrain them, and they don't bloom well since they mostly bloom on old wood.

Any guidance?
