Just cut it off and it will grow just fine.

Oh Man I know that has to be frustrating. Ben said his LC was very vigorous so I bet yours will be just fine and in a few weeks you won’t even remember.

I would prune at the line where its starting to die.

Cairo, I am new to roses as well, but have found that they are not finicky at all- unless you go into it expecting perfection just like all the catalog photos, with minimal effort.

I like roses because they are fast growers and easy.

Oh just cut it below the damaged area, it will be fine! I know it's upsetting but really in a few weeks you won't even notice. I did this on my Lillian Gibson but it was a very long cane, I put it back together and put a band aid on it! It worked, I think the band aid is still there haha.

After your rose blooms it will send up some nice long shoots so don't worry, it will be ok.

I suggest you start now drawing the canes that have buds closer to the lattice. The heat from the house siding and trying to get the most sun will cause them to bend away. Just attach a cord to the lattice, out and around the canes, and back to the lattice. Draw it tight until the canes stop bending. Don’t over do it. Simple as that. As it grows continue tying with new cords. I have Zeffy’s and their cane become very stiff almost from the get-go so I have to start the bending process very early. When they stop bending is when I stop trying to bend them….

Roses always seem to grow away from anything near them. I made the mistake long ago of planting them too far away from the trellis. Now I know to plant them as close to or under the structure they are supposed to climb on. And tying is necessary very early. I have used the paper type medical tape to wrap a broken bend and sometimes it works and sometimes not but I always try.

Forgot to ask- please post photos of your blooms!

Apparently, this one is only found in a bag at Walmart so there isn't a lot of info out there on it.

Don’t fret over it any longer. This is not a big injury and it will bounce back before you know it. Just cut it off and the rose will be just fine.

This happened to me with a bougainvillea when I first started gardening and I remember trying to bandage it up with tape. Now I laugh about it to myself because that thing grew so big and aggressive that I ended up having to remove it because I got tired of having to cut back like every week. You soon will realize that your rose will grow back very fast and it won’t even remember this little mishap.

Oh Lord I have 3 new climbers planted i'm planning to train in the coming months and this is the nightmare scenario I always hoped wouldn't happen. Nice to know it isn't as devastating to the rose as it seems to us gardeners lol

Since I have people answering, can you help me with my other climbing rose ? This one is White Dawn and being quite sensitive and ornery. I planted it at the same time as the LC and it is in the same quality soil and compost and gets sun . When I first planted it, some of the pretty pot was still left in per the directions to protect roots. I think that was a bad choice because it rained heavily many days and I think got too water logged . I used my water meter and it was very wet. I dug it up, took peat pot off , allowed roots to breathe and replanted without pot. It is still looking depressed. Do I cut my losses and get another White Dawn , or is this one salvageable? I had cut all the yellow and sad leaves off but more turned after my attempt. Thanks again for helping a newb out :)

I have splinted roses with popsicle sticks and tape. It's about a 50/50 chance it will work. Otherwise just take it off and let it grow back.

Always remove all packaging from the rose and roots before planting. No matter what the package says. They never degrade like they say they will. How long ago did you replant it? It may just be in transplant shock.

Make sure that there aren't any air pockets underground. I usually VERY carefully tamp the soil down around the roots with my foot to make sure I get the air out. Otherwise just leave it alone for a bit. If you do too much to it you can kill it with kindness. It may just be resting and growing back any roots it lost in the transplant.

It looks like it is just what iI call 'sulking' after being transplanted. Give it time to recover, like a few weeks. And like Siel said, tamp down.the soil so there are no airpockets.

Cairo J, tie the canes gently to the lattice. In other words, give it room to move but not flop around in the wind. Also, you don’t want the cord to cut a grove in the cane due to too much moving around. Once a section of cane become hard the cords (what ever you used) can be removed. Of course you don’t want it falling over so a strong cord can be placed every so often up the column that is formed. I use single strand black coated wire to hold mine. That way I don’t have to keep going back replacing the cords.

When the bush is small I use those 12 inch long fuzzy twist ties to hold the canes in an upward direction. You may not want to do that for a bush rose but for climbers you want them to go upward.

PS. seil knows her stuff so......

You want them to grow up but at the same time they need to be somewhat horizontal so you will get flowering laterals along the stem. If you are growing it against a trellis you can just fan the canes. Once the canes are strong you can use them as a framework for younger canes which will come up right after the rose blooms.

Here is an example of William Baffin fanned on a trellis.
