How do you prune an Alfred Carriere rose?
Can I cut my climbing rose to the ground?
You can nip the ends by about ¼ their length but never, ever, ever hard prune down to two feet or less. However, you can prune the laterals all you want. I generally prune them to within one to two feet of the main canes. And I’ll do this all year to keep the rose tidy.
Do you cut back climbing roses every year?
Whether climbing roses are grown on a wall, fence, trellis, post, or pillar, I recommend pruning them every year not only to keep your climbers from overwhelming their supports but also to spare you the frustration of dealing with an overgrown snare of canes.
Should climbing roses be cut back in the fall?
We recommend pruning in late winter/early spring, when the first growth is beginning. This is generally between February and April. It is ok to prune earlier, but it can be more difficult to identify the less healthy stems that you will want to prune out.
