David Austin Rose - Abraham Darby
I am in Perth, and have this delightful rose.
It is now about 5 years old. The first yeat or two it grew beautifully, but it is now flowering quite freely but on a puny bush. It should be growing to 5' or there abouts, but it is barely able to scape 3' now. It is manured and watered, and I have been known to talk kindly to it............what else can I do to encourage some height.

Prune it (not now, of course) to encourage better development. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) I don't regard myself as a fanatic.
