The last patch of snow is just about gone from the rose beds. If the
weather holds for a few days, I'll spray with Lime-sulfur while the roses
are still dormant. Spring pruning is still a month or so away. I see a
lot
of dead wood, but hopefully the roots are good (most of my roses are
own-root) and my losses will be limited.
Martin, did you look up your climbers? Do they look like Rosa Multiflora?
