Hi, it's me Again. My climbing rose is shooting out long stems, do I cut the whole rose down, cut some back or train them onto a frame which I haven't got yet LOL.

If you have a wall, but no trellis, you can get little buttons with wire loops that can be glued to the wall to tie the canes to. That will work temporarily, but you will want to get a trellis ASAP, since the longer the canes grow, and the stiffer the base of the plant, the harder it will be to winkle a trellis in afterward.

If its against a wall you can use masonry nails and strong wire to train the stems along. Lasts longer than trellis.

try and tie them as close to horizontal as possible as these will flower next year. if they get too long then yes you can trim them.
