    Hi, I have climbing roses as well as some ramblers which include Rambling Rector, Wedding Day and Bobbie James (We have a long house!) Do I prune the ramblers the same way as I would prune the climbing roses? I have done the climbing roses already but have hung on for the ramblers but they will need doing soon I am sure.

    Many thanks....

    Basicly yes, To put it very generally you should be looking at removing dead wood and a few healthy long stems, and tieing in the remainder of long stems and reduceing the lateral shoots by 1/3.
