Default Honor Rose

I like the flowers and color is just a pain in the butt to manage the
plant. I want something that is somewhat upright growth habit AND
supports the flower weight load. Perhaps it's a matter of pruning
technique.


I never had that problem when I grew Honor. Apparently phosphorus and
calcium in fertiliser can help strengthen footstalks.

I quite liked Honor for its superb white blooms, but it was always more
a 'quality over quantity' proposition. This season I'm trying Karen
Blixen instead.
