How to train climbing roses to encourage many more flowers

All too often climbing roses can be seen producing most of their flowers high up in the air and very few lower down. By training stems horizontally as much as possible, new shoots will be encouraged to grow, producing many more flowers across the whole height of the rose.

Thank you. Just started growing climbing roses for the first time and my trellis is long and horizontal. I was worried why they didn't seem to be making progress. I guess I'll wait for those side shoots.

I've done this with my non climbing roses John kennedy.I attached it to a cattle panel and it keeps going wonderful.

My Peter Beales New Dawn was planted in 1984 so it's forty years old. A year ago I had new fence so cut the rose right back to a few centimetres. A year later it's not very large but has thirty buds. This time I'm using screw eyes & wire to train the rose which is much neater than wooden trellis. The Peter Beales Albertine rose is also forty years old & as it only flowers once a year it grown massively. I had no idea that roses would last so long.
