This obelisk has been supporting a Clematis and the very pretty Warm Welcome climbing rose for many years.Time has come to replace the crumbling obelisk. I'm wondering whether I should wait until the end of September before I cut down the climbers or maybe I could do this now? As the photo shows there is more top growth .Could anyone suggest the best time please?

As you prune it in the spring I would do the refit in the Autumn. as I said both plants wont be fussed by the autumn prune.

« Who can find this plant for me? It is called an Azalea indica 'Inga', genus...
Personally I would do it in Autumn when all the growth has ceased. Then all the new growth can be tied in as it grows next year.
Just out of curiosity which clematis is it and when does it flower?
