My container grown Gertrude Jeykell rose has just come through it's 2nd
winter and looks very spindly. I have pruned it down to the nearest bud
but there are no buds lower down that I can see. Is it safe to just cut
it down to about 12" or should I just give it a feed and hope for the
best? Any help gratefully received
