In early winter, hardwood and root cuttings may be taken and layering may be carried out. Prune back ornamental vines.

In mid-winter, prune wall climbers such as ivy, Virginia creeper or climbing hydrangea to maintain a neat shape. Carry out the second stage of pruning Wisteria.

In late-winter, carry out formative pruning and training for hardy deciduous climbers that flower on new wood.
