Pruned climber laterals to 4" on fence. Now growing straight up 12"+ with buds. Warm weather. Asks if wrong, and whether to tie or shorten continuously.
Laterals pruned to 4" → grow → bloom. Vigorous growth from warm weather = long upright laterals. Normal.
Cut same laterals back to 4" again. Once a year. Don't shorten after bloom or you cut flowers.
Some make huge laterals that become new main canes. Defy pruning rules. Manage as best you can—tie or accept wildness.
