I’m a new blogger, and one of the things I’ve learned is that even after I write an article and publish it, I think of all the ways I could have improved it.
Recently, I wrote a piece about pruning climbing roses for a friend. Well, I mean, for my beautiful glam pal, Kim. 
She left me a comment and let me know that she was less than satisfied with my trimming advice—and even less satisfied with my description of her—I mean, my hottie babelicious friend, Kim.
I tried to explain to her that it is about the gardening and that she shouldn’t be offended if I don’t go into detail about her—my gorgeous yoga-practicing, hardbodied friend, Kim.
The amazingly fit-and-intelligent Kim, had some more questions for me regarding pruning climbing roses. See my article Pruning Climbing Roses.
She asked if she should leave the remaining 4-5 most vigorous canes alone when through cutting out the dead, diseased, weak and old canes. Well, it depends if you have a climber that blooms only once, a climbing hybrid tea or a continuous-blooming climber. 
According to the book All about Roses (an Ortho book), climbers that bloom only once are pruned after they bloom. Follow fundamental pruning practices in my article Pruning Climbing Roses.
Remember to cut the laterals on which the flowers appear back to four or five buds.
If you have a climbing hybrid tea or a continuous-blooming climber, these should be pruned while they are dormant.
After following the basics, prune the hybrid tea climber’s flowering shoots on the remaining canes so that 2 leaf buds remain on each shoot.
When trimming continuous-blooming climbers, follow the basics. Keep flowers plucked off but, unlike the climbing hybrid teas, don’t remove the foliage. The repeat blooms are produced from the top leaves immediately under the old flower cluster.
Oh, and when you prune back the weak, the old, the dead, or the diseased canes, cut them all the way back to where they start.
I hope this satisfies my lovely, young looking, beach babe, surfer-chick friend, Kim.
After all this, I’ll probably end up going over to Kim’s house and pruning her darned roses myself.
This is Kim's cute dog Marley.
I hope this satisfies my lovely, young looking.
