How to prune Climbing Roses in winter
An article about how to prune Climbing Roses in winter and master the pruning techniques for Climbing Roses, let's learn about it together below.
Key point: Pruning Climbing Roses is different from pruning shrub roses. Shrub roses are generally pruned after the leaves start to fall in winter, leaving a桩 head of a few centimeters high, then fertilizing to ensure safe wintering, which will quickly sprout and bloom next year. The blooms mainly occur on new rose branches, with thicker branches resulting in more full and vibrant flowers.
For Climbing Roses, the pruning in winter is mainly for shaping. If there is a trellis, it can be guided onto the trellis before pruning. Without a trellis, they should also be guided to climb a wall, leaving some thick branches, removing the tops, fixing the chosen main stem, and then leaving some thick branches on the main stem. Therefore, winter pruning is mainly about guiding and shaping.
Let's look at the pictures provided by netizens:
As shown in the picture above:
The first circle indicates the upright stem mentioned by the netizen, with yellowed leaves, indicating that it is indeed time for pruning. The netizen is caring for the plant on the rooftop with a railing, a great location for guiding, and of course, a trellis can also be set up for guidance. However, I think guiding it directly onto the railing would be fine.
The second circle shows some thick branches are quite sturdy, so after guiding the main stem, leave these sturdy branches, then remove the weak branches from the top, which will likely result in more branches sprouting next year, making it very possible for the plant to be full of flowers.

I suggest the netizen guide and prune as shown in the picture below:
The netizen uses the thick upright branches as the main stem, then bends and secures these main stems to the railing, creating a net-like shape. Remove the weak branches from the top, leaving some sturdy branches, and do not leave the branches too long, just a桩 head is fine. After the guiding and pruning are done, promptly supplement with winter fertilizer to allow the Climbing Roses to winter safely, and it will be easy to have full blooms on the railing next year.
