Excerpt from the "Three-Step Method for Climbing Rose Cultivation" series
In the morning, my husband gave me a "donkey rolling" and said it was some festival today, and local customs dictate eating donkey rolling. I thought about it, yesterday was五四 Youth Day, and there doesn't seem to be any festival today. I checked the perpetual calendar and found out that today is the beginning of summer, one of the 24 solar terms.
Although I am very fond of gardening, I don't have much memory of farming seasons. I guess most flower enthusiasts are the same? It's already the beginning of summer, spring is coming to an end, and summer is about to start.
For those who have a climbing rose wall, most of the first batch of flowers have bloomed, and early varieties should be almost finished.
What should we do after the first batch is finished? Of course, pruning. Recently, many flower enthusiasts have asked about the pruning method for climbing roses after blooming.
Today, let's talk about the pruning method for multi-season climbing rose walls after blooming.
Spring pruning method for climbing roses after blooming:
For multi-season climbing roses, timely pruning after the first batch of flowers in spring can still result in another batch of flowers.

After the second batch of flowers enter summer, they generally will not bloom or only a few will bloom.
For multi-branched climbing roses, it is necessary to remove the spent flowers to reduce the waste of nutrients. After all the flowers on a branch have faded, the branch should be pruned back.
Pruning principles for climbing rose walls after blooming:
For strong branches, cut off 1/3-1/2 of the branch. Thinner branches can be cut back by 2/3 of their length. Very thin and weak branches should be cut off completely.
For new branches that are very thin and weak on old branches, Green Plant Enthusiast Network suggests you cut them off completely. Although the branches look long and it's a pity to cut them, remember that these branches have weak growth potential, and cutting them can increase the plant's ventilation, which is very important for rose growth.
Of course, everything has two sides. If your climbing rose is a young plant and there is no ventilation problem, then Green Plant Enthusiast Network suggests you keep these weak old branches.
Also, for diseased branches, dead branches, and crowded branches, they need to be cut off completely.
Blind branches should be pruned according to their condition. Thick blind branches that meet the flowering conditions should be lightly pruned to promote buds. Very short and thin blind branches should be cut off completely.
After such pruning, strengthen the fertilization and watering management, and in a month, you will have a full wall of flowers again.
The above is about the pruning method for climbing roses after the first batch of flowers in spring, very simple. Later, Green Plant Enthusiast Network will introduce the pruning method for climbing roses before entering summer, as well as the pruning method for single-season climbing roses.
