Climbing Roses
Hi -I'm a little stuck and wandered if anyone out there could help.
I planted 3 climbing roses in large tubs on my deck to climb the pergola a few weeks ago. There is plenty of height now to the roses but no buds.
I am wandering if I need to prune these back now for next year as it may be too late for buds & blooms now.
Should i prune or not? What is the general consensus?
Thankyou, hope to get a response from a wise rose grower )
the roses are ''Climbing Rose, Pink. delight'' from Homebase

I prune them in Feb/March when there isn't a heavy frost. As they are in tubs make sure they are well fed and watered.
I don't know this rose, I looked on Google and the only reference I found to it was that someone saw it for sale in Homebase. I wonder if they have the correct name. It could be that it is a rose that only flowers once, so it will have flowered in June and has finished for this year.
Thank you Busy-Lizzy. This has happened a lot with plants bought from supermarkets etc - I'll wait while feb/March and see what happens. Have a nice day
