Pruning climbing roses can seem daunting, but it’s essential for healthy growth and abundant blooms. Here’s a simple breakdown of how to do it effectively.

Choose an area with at least 6 hours of free sunlight, good water drainage, good air circulation, and no intruding roots from other plantings.
