Pruning roses

Pruning roses

Question from Charlotte Morton

I have a beautiful climbing rose which only has one stem. To encourage it to produce more branches should I prune it down about a foot off the ground or that kill it?? I've attached a photo of the rose.

    I am no expert but i think in terms of general rose pruning, you are just about ok. I wont leave for any later than now.
    However the roses in your pics seem to be climbing roses, which are not really pruned but thinned and shaped (once they are established). So for newly planted roses, i suggest training the longer shoots horizontally and thin out where needed.
