Climbing Rose
I have a climbing rose over an arch in our newly aquired garden, think it might be 'high hopes'??
It is very leggy and does not look very happy. I understand from neighbour it is about 5 years old. Any ideas how to help it along - I'm a total rose novice - never had/grown before. Soil verges on acid. Windy site. 18" soil then rock.

Feed it with a rose food, mulch strongly with rotted manure, foliar feed, and remove dead roses. Investigate pruning it in the spring. |

It has flowered and is a fragrant pale pink so looking up books high hopes may be correct. I'll cut back in spring and see how it comes.
