Prune Climbing Rose 'Beamerry' in late winter or early spring, removing dead or diseased wood and thinning out crowded areas to improve air circulation. Cut back canes that have bloomed, leaving five to seven eyes to encourage new growth. Pruning encourages healthier plants and more prolific flowering. Aim to shape the plant and control its size at this time.

- Life cycle
The Rosa 'Beamerry' (Cl), commonly known as the Climbing Rose or Fragrant Celebration, begins its life cycle as a dormant bare-root or potted specimen. After planting, it breaks dormancy in spring, producing new shoots and leaves. Throughout the growing season, it develops buds that bloom into aromatic flowers, usually peaking in late spring to early summer with potential repeat blooming into fall. Post-blooming, it sets hips (seed pods) if not deadheaded, entering a reproductive phase. As autumn approaches, the plant enters a period of senescence, where growth slows and the plant prepares for winter dormancy. Throughout winter, it remains dormant, conserving energy until the next growing season.
- Propogation
Propogation time
Spring-Early Summer
Propogation: Rosa 'Fragrant Celebration', commonly known as a fragrant climbing rose, is best propagated through the use of stem cuttings. This method is ideally undertaken during the late spring to early summer when the plant is actively growing and the wood is somewhat soft, known as semi-hardwood. To propagate by cutting, a gardener would select a healthy, disease-free shoot and clip a 6 to 8-inch (15 to 20 centimeters) length, ensuring there are several leaves present. The cut end should be dipped in rooting hormone powder to encourage root development, and then the cutting is planted in a moist soil or potting mix. The container with the cutting should be kept in a warm, bright place but out of direct sunlight, and the soil should be kept consistently moist until roots develop, which typically takes several weeks to months depending on conditions.
