Xela's Garden
Rose... Rambler [V]
Genus: Rosa.
Species: Rosa filipes.
Planted '06 Vistabile Arch hedge side
The speed at which rambling roses grow can lead to a mass of tangled stems, which can result in poor flowering and makes the perfect environment for diseases to prosper. Pruning in late summer or early autumn will boost the plant’s potential next year and improve air circulation, keeping plants healthy.
Ramblers
Prune in late summer.
Cut back any side branches that have flowered, leaving two to three leaf buds per shoot.
If the plant has not been pruned for some time, select a few old woody branches and cut to the base, new shoots will soon grow and can be tied in to the framework.
Roses in this group include include – R.'Albertine', R.'Félicité Perpétue' and R.'The Garland'.
