I recently moved to a new house in Oklahoma. In my back yard, there are 3 rose bushes, about 8-10 feet tall, all growing out of control. I trimmed one so that we could use the walkway, but I'm afraid to cut any more because I don't know anything about rose care. Two of them have bloomed once in the last couple of weeks and the other has not bloomed at all. The blooms are light yellow with pink edges. Someone told me they thought it was a Climbing Peace but we don't know for sure. What do I need to do?

It sounds likely that your roses may be Peace. Have you gone to the entry here on Peace, and checked the various photographs of it?

I have a climbing peace rose, several years old. It was neglected for several years, then 2 yrs ago we doted on it, and it had about 40 blooms then bloomed again about 10 blooms. Last yr. we had record amt of rain early spring, and only about a dozen blooms first, then maybe 2-3. This year most of the canes are brown to brownish-green, and only one has sprouts with some new growth from base. I'm a novice and cannot find advice on how to prune and what do to in the winter. It seems every year I lose more and more canes, and the ones I prune die back. What kind of pruning tool(s) should I be using? We are in southern lower Mich.

I'm new to roses, so if this post seems naive, that's because it is! But since I live in suburban Chicago I thought my experience might behelpful to you anyway.
The first rose I ever planted was last year, a climbing peace. Not knowing any better, in November I pruned everything that 'looked' unhealthy. Then, I gently tied the remaining canes together and covered them with a styrofoam cone. This year it looks beautiful, with long healthy canes that have grown nearly 3 feet since I took the cone off in late March. The first flower just bloomed.
I just borrowed a few books from the library about growing roses in colder climates, and at least a couple of them stated that fertilizing roses after mid-August can actually cause more dieback. For what it's worth. We'll see if my rose makes it through this winter!

Hi, "I'm new to roses",
I am also new to roses and I live in Chicago. Last year I checked out all the books I could from the library on roses. This year I just bought my first book on ebay called 'Hardy Roses'. It has not arrived yet. Anyway I have put in many climbers and shrubs that I have heard are hardy. I am interested in what else you have been succesful with including the care for our winters? Looking to comunicate with some rose gardeners in the Chicago area. I have looked into rose and garden clubs but they seem time consuming with all the outings to potlucks and nursery visiting. Having three kids, youngest being two, I just have enough time, barely, for the gardening and weeding.
Thanks Amy

Hi Amy,
My first just turned 2 so I know what you mean about barely having the time to keep up the garden. I look forward to learning more with you and others on this site.
I only planted my first rose last year (after naming our daughter Rose I figured I had to), so I honestly have no idea what winter will be like on the others I've planted. I will certainly share next spring the results from the 9 climbers and 3 hybrid teas I planted this year. But it might not be much of an indication, many of them were in poor condition as I got most of them on clearance from Menards.
As it turns out, I think my climbing peace is either not a peace, or that maybe the stem that survived winter was actually a sucker. The one flower that bloomed this year was yellow with no pink. I am not just a novice to roses, but to gardening altogether!!!!!!!!

When do I cut this Rose back, and how hard should I do it?

I hve seen the climber at a house, and they cut it way back in the fall, I think. I would imagine they would mulch it then, too. We're in NE.

I bought a climbing peace rose this spring. It looks great but no blooms. How do you get it to bloom?

Climbing Peace is a very vigorous rose and spends the first two or three years making growth at the expense of making flowers. It will bloom in time

Don't know your area, but I have a young one that I moved into my yard in early summer. I did cut it back and once it settled it also looked good, no blooms though. I've been using a food with a very high middle # with water every few days. Within 2 wks. she has one beautiful open bud but I dont excpect much this first year. This is my first rose in my new home on the Sunshine Coast, BC. Hope this helps!
