Crimson Glory has
cranked out two nice flushes of blooms, but it's not even a foot tall.
Rather than new or larger canes, every bit of new growth has instantly
put out blooms. Nice to see strong productivity, but no growth
(hence no stems)???


Painful as it may be, pinch those buds off and you should get better root and
cane growth. I find it very difficult to do this, since we grow roses for the
blooms, but it usually works on those that want to spend all their energy on
flowers.
