Climbing rose help

[bunny27]

I planted a climbing rose last October. David Austin, Pilgrim. In May there were numerous buds which flowered and they were beautiful. I dead headed a few and then after storms this week all have fallen off so now the plant is flowerless. I have deadheaded again. I'm disappointed there are no flowers at the moment. Apparently it'repeat flowering so do I just need to be patient for more flowers? I just so want to have a lot of flowers!

Yes, keep deadheading and you will get more flowers very soon

Vigorous climbing roses often spend their first two years on root growth. This is necessary to support the plant and produce an abundance of flowers.

Possibly you may get a second flush this year but don’t worry if you don’t. Gardeners in earlier years recommended ,in the first year, to cut the buds off the second flush before they mature. I have not heard that advice recently.

David Austen has exceptional customer service when you email queries to them. They once replaced a rose for me which was out of its guaranteed time.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the replies. I'll keep deadheading but won't worry too much if I don't get more blooms this summer. As long as I'm going in the right direction I'm happy!!
