Default Question about pruning roses



Yeah, some northern roser used to wax poetic about Moonlight in the
night garden. Smells good. How the hell did he keep it alive, you
wonder. HM's aren't terribly hardy, Regina tells me.


She lied.
I've seen them grown all over Iowa in Zone 4.
I grow several myself. Buff Beauty, Cornelia, Prosperity
Darlow's Enigma, Baby's blanket, Belinda.
No kill at all.

All came through just fine on their own roots.

I have a friend in Nebraska who grows BB
own root It dies to the ground every year
then comes back to a 4' bush by fall.
