My old (20 year) John Davis climbing rose doesn't seem to be growing sturdy canes like it used to, despite pruning out old or scrawny canes, fertilizing every 6 weeks and spraying for insects. Is he just old or still have some healthy years left?

Thank you for writing.
I need a picture of the entire plant and a close up of a weak cane.
Tell me more about how you prune.
