I need to cut back harder.
I BR'd Pierre de Ronsard and left the canes about 3 feet, and it's
doing fine too. BR'd 2 Westerlands, one cut the canes back to 15
inches, one with canes cut back to 24 inches. All fine.
Fine like strong new basals? (photo?) See, that's what I want, a
little urban renewal.
Sure, I'll take pix a little later in the day. Fine as in didn't die,
now leafing out and growing new basals.
And I am finding that once that is done, they need less and less time
from me, which then of course fully justifies adding more roses. Here's
a zen question for you - can one aspire to be Mack and not prune?
One can, but some roses like the abuse.
