Why did my climbing rose only produce short growths after I pruned it?

Our Advice:

If your climbing rose is a climbing version of a bush rose, it may have reverted back to a bush form. These roses are termed as a climbing 'sport', which were produced from long shoots growing on the parent bush. These shoots can change back into a bush form if they were pruned down very low.
