| I have a climbing rose which blooms in June only. It has a big old cane that I need to remove so new canes can come forth. I'm in the Pacific Northwest. Should I cut it back perhaps late February or should it be done after it finishes blooming? Thank you. |

| When it finishes blooming, shape as you wish so that it can send up new canes this year to bloom next. Steve |

| Thanks, Steve. I wasn't sure if a major cane removal was done at the same time as regular pruning. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. April |
