Climbing Roses made it thru the Winter

[birdhouse-lady]

I'm not a rose person, but I bought two climbers and planted them on each side of my new arbor....then winter came...then we took the arbor down and put up an iron fence. Now the roses are coming out like gang-busters! Can I just train them up my fence? What is the best way to tie them up to an iron fence?

I like to use old nylons to tie any plant up but, wait and see what our rose expert (VAL) has to say.

Hi Birdhouse-lady,

What wonderful news. I planted a climber a couple of years ago and it too is going gangbusters this year.

Here's how to prune it.
