Repeat flowering climbing roses, after the first flush of flowers should you prune right back to the main structure of the rose as in winter pruning or just deadhead. I have looked on the internet and can only find winter pruning tips. I have a David Austin Mortimer sackler which has almost gone over, not sure whether to take all side shoots back to main branches or just lightly remove flower clusters.

I agree unless the rose has attractive hips in which case don't dead head.

« Does anybody know what is going on with this lily? It’s even affecting the buds.

Just deadhead as you would with a bush rose, and do the main prune in late February/early March, again as you would with a bush rose.
