My climbing rose has shot out new green branches. Think l left it too late to train them horizontally, as they will snap in doing so they are around 2-3ft long. Do l cut them back?
No, they shouldn't be too long at only 2-3 ft ... watch this video .... the branches don't have to be horizontal from the bottom, ease them gently towards the horizontal ... 45 degrees is ok ...
