I think I did a B-A-A-A-D thing ...

The finest specimin of Hansa that I have ever seen was growing unattended on the grounds of an abandoned building on the shore of Lake Superior. In my own garden, I had some rugosa bushes that did quite well on 30 years of neglect until I decided that it was time to give them attention. I pruned and then did not like the looks of them, so I gave them fertilizer to encourage them to grow back. They responded with water sprout growth that was sparce and awkward looking. I should have confined my pruning to trimming dead wood and then I should have let them regrow at their own deliberate pace. I doubt if you did any serious damage, but it may take a while for the plant to grow back gracefully. Regards, Charles -- Charles Perry Reply to: ** A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand ** |
