Weeks - Spice so nice
I have a beautiful Spice So Nice climber that reached @ 6-8 feet tall
last year and tons of blooms. I pruned it back about late Feb ( Moderate temps here in East TN) to a recommended 6 - 8 inches from the stock. My question is Does this particular rose bloom on old canes or new? If it blooms on old I guess I am in trouble sigh Its coming along as far as its new growth and I have been staking/tying the upcoming canes to the pillar of my front porch. Thanks Cindy -- All outgoing mail scanned for viruses. |

Thanks Cindy --Climbers shouldn't be pruned at all for the first three years unless a cane is imperiling life or limb. You have to let them build up a structure of canes to cover the support, and then at three years, you can remove some of the older ones. I wouldn' t even prune a hybrid tea down to 6". That's just too harsh, unless Mother Nature does that for you with winter. Most roses do better with moderate pruning. |
