Thanks for growing with us!
We planted our Teasing Georgia Climbing Rose from David Austin Roses In the fall of 2022. It grew on the Essex Trellis but it quickly out grew it. Today we are going to upgrade the trellis to the Jardin Tower from Gardener’s Supply Company.
In this video we give the basics of pruning a young climber to get it set up for maximum bloom.

I suggest clematis Etoile Violette. Bred in 1885 in France so it has a track record. It's a Viticella group. Small-flowered summer. I cut mine down to few inches above the ground every spring and it growers to at least 8'. Very floriferous. The only thing is it likely will not bloom at the same time as the rose.
Backseat pruner 🤣 love it. Adore your healthy roses, I hope mine look like that too!
I think Etoile Violette clematis would look great with your rose. Lots of small purple flowers. Bloomed all summer prolifically in my zone 5a. I have it growing up a Yankee Blue Chamaecyparis. To die for!!
Those gloves are EPIC!! I could use those when I prune my barberry bushes. OUCH
Backseat pruner, that's hysterical! 😂
Check out Clematis 'Arabella'. It doesn't twine -smallish flowers and an extremely long bloom period . Also blue -ish. Mine goes into Nov (zone 9) even though Clems don't care for our bone dry summers . First time I saw it was many years ago at the private garden of a Clematis collector called The Climbery in Livingston NY. I don't know if it still exists -worth a visit if it does. I've never seen so many Clems in one garden ! Right up there with the Rogerson near PDX.
Looking good!! I have a new rose planted last year. I am hoping it will look that healthy this year. Thanks for showing your expertise. See you next time.
great job guys!
Thanks for the great tutorial! It will definitely help 🌼🐝
So great to see your channel growing! And yes Eric you do need more screen time! (love seeing you too Christopher!)
Great job wrestling that thorny beauty Christopher!!!! 😅 Not easy I know. It's exhausting. Just a reminder to disinfect your pruners in between cuts..Even within the same rose bush. Disease can be passed throughout the same rose from one cane to the next. I just use a can of Lysol. So easy. Thanks guys!!! ❤️ 😊🌼🌻🌼🌻
I really enjoy learning new skills and being entertained at the same time!
We have a 2.5 yr old David Austen – St Swithin- climbing rose that we are training to grow horizontally on an angular wood trellis against the house. It has reached the 3rd level of back & forth caning. We cut it hack hard to just the main stem and remove all of the shoots/canes growing from the base. You have left a number of side shoots which I would have removed as there is very energetic growth along the entire main stem.
This was so great I have to do this!
Both look gorgeous!😊 i'll be waiting. for the blooms💕🍃
Love the step by step. 😊

I have Teasing Georgia also and I let it grow as a large shrub. I love the trellis! You gave me an idea to do that
Great job Christopher and Eric.
…Okay. The whole point of your videos is NOT about how adorable you both are, but I see it each and every time! 🙃 As a fellow gardener, what's good (for me) is I usually agree with and see the areas that need addressing. Hopefully, true spring will soon arrive there and these unwelcome snowstorms will be behind you. 🥴🤞🤷🏼♀️

I ordered a teasing Georgia! I can’t wait for it to come. Planning to train it up a trellis on the side of a garden shed. Hopefully it works!
Loved this how to vid! However, I am kinda bummed you didn't keep some of the healthy canes to try and root!😅
Wonderful! What great instructions, sure wish I was sunny enough to grow one! 🌹🇨🇦👏
Love the video! Can’t wait to see the roses fill out and climb up that beautiful trellis!!
And if you go both ways you risk crossing branches and damage
You guys are so fun. I was thinking that training the rose on a fence in front of the wall would be dramatic and easier to get the canes lateral.
Please keep us posted. I would love to see how it does.
I love the backseat pruning, Eric! 😂
