New Dawn doing well
I planted 2 New Dawn plants from Home Depot as my first attempt last
spring.. it made about 3 strong 8' vines on each plant. Now - hooray - they are covered in new growth and lots of buds!!! should i be pruning some of the new growth or the bushy looking parts around the bottom? I don't know really what to do at this point - maybe i'll post a photo. thanks |

Gail near San Antonio TX Zone 8 i don't know what the "bud union" means but the bushy looking stuff is way down at the base of the plant - the buds are a few feet higher Hi nanner! A grafted rose means that a rose is joined to a the roots of another rose that has sturdier, more vigorous roots resulting in what is called a "bud union". It appears as a slightly enlarged knobby growth at or near the base of the rose. If the bushy growth is from below this "bud union" cut them off. If allowed to grow they would produce blooms of whatever rootstock was used and eventually take over the plant so that you would see no more of the rose blooms you paid for. Prune now only to remove dead growth, wait till after spring flowering to prune for shape or size control, but never prune a climber heavily.
