If you want to encourage more buds to bloom this spring, you need to redirect your climbing roses to grow outwards rather than up. Our resident gardening expert, Orpheus Alexander, explains how encouraging roses to grow 'horizontally' can double their flowering potential.
"By training the stem horizontally, you encourage multiple flowering shoots instead of a single tall one," Orpheus tells us. "This simple change in direction tells the rose to slow down, branch out, and bloom."
