Late Winter Pruning of Paul's Scarlet Climber and Care for Double Knock Out Roses

Missed February pruning? No problem—prune now. Frosts won't harm 'Paul's Scarlet'. Climbers need light pruning: remove wayward, dead, or diseased canes, and cut back overall by 2 feet. Apply a cup of rose fertilizer at the base.

Double Knock Out

Plant, fertilize, and next spring cut back by one-third. Very low maintenance.
