not all my roses have done well..this one has had many blooms which as soon as they came out were destroyed by the rain..but it has many buds so hopefully this sunshine will continue :)))))))

I've just cut all mine back about halfway,Pixi..and lots of new growth coming..looking forward to the second lot,which always seem to last longer...

3 Aug, 2012

 

ooh maybe I'll do that! :))))

It will do it good,Pixi..just prune to an outward facing bud,or leaf joint....:o)

Well i pruned it in spring time..still do it? now?

Very pretty.

Yes Pixi..it still has time to put new growth on,and more flowers..you could still have some well into late autumn..
You dont need to prune it as hard back as you do in Spring..I've taken about 9 to 12 " off mine.,as I cut them quite low then.....just depends how big it is now..mine are really tall..I have also taken a lot of diseased leaves off ,as it's been a really bad year for that..they only infect your soil..I forgot to ask..is it a repeat flowering Rose,or one that only flowers once anyway? If it's the latter..I'm not sure if it will flower again..I assumed it was a Floribunda..:o)
