Question
I have a climbing rose that I transplanted from a friend 2 years ago.  It is over 6 feet tall and VERY full and healthy (almost too) but has yet to bloom.  I am in the Chicago area & this will be the 3rd spring I have had it.  I am wary of pruning as everything I read says to limit pruning, but it is VERY tall and still no blooms.  Would cutting it back a bit help?  Any advice would be great...

Answer
Most climbers will not bloom until they have finished making growth. This can take up to three years and then they will flower properly. Also all roses resent being moved and many will sulk for a year to get even with the gardener. Because you have moved your climber it isn't sulking, just making new growth at the expense of flowering. Pruning a rose activates it into making new growth and you don't want more growth, wait until it has outgrown it's allotted space . The way to get flowers is to be mean to the rose. Stop fertilizing it as this mainly encourages new growth such as canes. Your climber sounds very healthy and because it is, will bloom next year.
