G limbing “Roses 
Climbing Roses require no pruning in the spring beyond cutting out of very 
old or dead wood, and the shortening of the laterals and long canes to make 
the growth conform to the space to be covered; but a severe pruning In July, 
directly after they have finished flowering, is beneficial. Cutting away at 
that time all old flowering wood will encourage a vigorous growth, which 
will give an abundance of flowers the following season, Wonk
