Rose canes are sprouting like all out doors!
We have several dozen small bloom sized Pink roses that are climbers.
The previous owner planted an L of steel link fence with them. It seems that the latest rain and 80 degree weather is forcing them out. We plan on rebuilding the fence that was broken and crushed a bit by horses. Now the roses have a chance since they are gone. Do we weave or what I think - place along the lacing in the fence and then down the top as possible ? I think that way if we cut back or need to the canes will come easier since only side branches might weave. Martin in mostly Sunny and partly rainy East Texas. -- Martin H.

They sound like Rosa Multiflora, in which case they will ramble like crazy!
They have been used as a nature fence with great results. I just let mine go and sort it out for themselves. I've done weaving, and been sorry when I need to prune away old wood. Tying is much better. I'm sure you know this already Martin, but if they are Multiflora, they are non-repeaters and should be pruned only after they're done blooming.

That helps. I'll look up the name and see if anything matches.
Since they are mostly recovering from hungry horses - thorns and all - I'll see what happens on the good looking ones and those we prune might help show the way. Thanks again and glad another non-spam message got through! Martin Martin H.
