Climbing rose
 

We moved into an old house and there is a climbing rose that has fallen over away from the house. To move it into the right place to grow it up the house again I planned to put in the ground a couple of stakes. I was then going to tie some rope to the rose and stake and gradually pull up the rose an inch or two at a time. Does anybody think this would work or should I take it out and replant? Thank you in advance, Dave.

I think it should be replant.

you can cut most of it back, and train the thinnest, newest canes. If
the rose has lasted this long, do what you can to preserve it - the
vast majority of roses can stand a hefty trimming, and come back
strong as ever.
