Hi,
In regards to climbing a ladder In the garden.
One of my rose climbing plants is over 10 feet tall., and small one is about 5 feet, that is the one Gardner gave me. What I do is take a rake, and try and pull top of bush down as far as I can, then try and snip the tops. Other times I just let the Gardner’s climb the ladder and watch they don’t cut way down. Gardner’s love to cut everything down, less work for them.
No ladder climbing for me either. Those days are long gone.

@funcountess, I like your rake/pull down technique! I never did like to climb ladders. I have some long handled tools and a tall husband who must be related to your gardener.
The roses sound beautiful. What color are they? How long have you had them?
