Dave,
Have you looked at these sites? Maybe you'll find your answers in one of them. http://www.rdrop.com/~paul/main_grapes.html http://www.which.net/gardeningwhich/...ga304t305.html I believe the "gardens" you were referring to is the Royal National Rose Society. Seems their website is down, or has moved. It used to be rnrs.org dave weil wrote: I'm curious about the details of that pruning method that some Brits use for bushes. You know, the one where you just make a straight cut across the middle top of the bush. Does anyone have any details about it? Where do you choose your line? Do you do any other "lateral" pruning. Etc. Etc. My big Aloha is getting rangy and "tall growing" instead of its normal bush form. I'd like to get it back to normal if possible. It's now about 10 feet tall in the middle but looks sparse on the side. It used to be really round. If this odd pruning method can help, I'm game. My previous pruning methods haven't really helped the shape of the bush. |

Seems their website is down, or has moved. It used to be rnrs.org I'll keep my eye out for it. Seems like there would be some sort of final judgment regarding the effacy, although, as I noted, one of the most successful "rose guy for hire" around these parts uses this sort of method. He simply goes back in the spring and cleans up whatever winter dieback there happens to be, just like you do when you use the traditional pruning. Thanks for the help... |
