Rambling rose - summer pruning?
Hello
Last year I planted some rambling roses that I'm training to grow up a trellis and over the front of my house. They've taken really well, but are throwing out a lot of vertical shoots that are leaning off the trellis and sticking out of the front of the house by quite a way. I don't want to tie them in, as there's already a lot of growth and I don't want the 'branches' to rub against each other. Is there any harm in cutting these back at this time of year? If they're already a little enthusiastic I dread to think what they'll be like by the end of the summer! Any advice appreciated. |

Hello
I would avoid pruning back now Rambling roses can flower right up to late November If you cut it back now ou will loose all those potential flowers I would only cut back what is most essential and train the rest with a strong garden wire |
