2nd Bloom?

Attached picture shows my climbing roses 3 years after planting - each year I get a reasonable 1st bloom, cut off the dead flowers but then nothing. I struggle to get a 2nd bloom. Any advice on what to do most welcome.

 

Do you know what variety they are?

 

Afraid not. They were not expensive so I guess they are 'middle of the road' - if that makes sense.

 

Are you sure they're climbing roses not rambling roses? Most ramblers don't repeat-flower. Most climbers should, unless they are going short of food or water. The pruning regime is different too.

 

They were definitely bought as climbing roses

 

You could try giving them a second feed after the first flush of flowers has faded. Another thing to try would be to keep a larger clear area around them so they aren't competing with the grass for water and nutrients. It also looks as if they're planted quite close to the base of the fence (hard to tell from the picture) so make sure they aren't in rain shadow and are getting enough moisture.

 

If you could post a closer photo that includes the flower and another pic of the leaves and general growth habit we may be able to id it for you.
That would be a good start.
I've seen rambling roses described as climbing roses on more than one occasion.

 

Here is a picture of the bed - it is about 12" wide. I've use an identify app and it has come up with French Rose and Bengal Rose. At the moment there are no flowers only leaves.

 

I'm afraid your roses are planted far to close to the fence and 12" is very narrow for a bed. Roses should be at least 12" from a fence. The soil is very dry at the bottom of fences, due to something called rain shadow and also the rose needs air circulation.

The rose on the left looks rather yellow, it looks hungry. Do you feed and water your roses? If you feed them but don't water them then they can't take up the food.
