Perhaps you should read my first response again, you have it wrong.

Ahem, here is your "first response", in its entirety (with the
advertising disabled):

You will find an article on pruning on the Be*se web site at:-

Now, how is what I said wrong? The article on pruning *wasn't* the
one
about the method that I was asking about.

BTW, you never said whether you actually grow roses yourself. Have
you
ever opposite of the business end of a pair of shears? Either you or
Franz can answer if you'd like. But if Franz answers, we'll have our
answer, I suppose, because I'll bet that he claims to have 2,000
roses
and prunes the Queen's garden in Windsor.

You are, as you invariably are, quite wrong.
I live about 300 miles from Windsor.
I have approximately 2 dozen roses.
I prune them all very lightly, as I don't see why I should, on a
annual basis, throw away all the good work the roses have done the
previous season.
They are now all quite large shrubs, and are repaying my restraint by
being very floriferous.
You should try to learn something about roses, assuming that you do
have the neurons to cope with studying..

Thanks for the input, Mr. Double.

BTW, I've only got you beat by about half-a-dozen roses.

It was unnecessary for you to insert that line. We already know that
you are invariably wrong.

If you weren't so obvious in your attempts to build your sockpuppet,
it might even be funny. Just a quick question though - isn't it
difficult to grow roses in the North Sea?

It would appear that you are one of those must-have -the-last-liners.
Please have it.

*********
With H.T. roses the natural habit is to grow on eacn year and form a
straggly bush which eventually plays itself out and falls prey to all
sorts of diseases.
However, in real life we don't usually grow them for that purpose or
aspect.
Since they have been either budded or grafted they are not really
'natural' any more.
We want an aspect which provides a nice smallish bush which will flush
with many flowers and will fit in with its neighbours and all make a
good show to please the eye of man.
To achieve this the standard practice was and still is, to prune at the
appropriate time of season, - summer trimming to keep shape, and spring
hard pruning to make the plants develop sturdy shoots, and hence
branches which develop their own sub-branches with their consequent
blaze of fairly compact colour.
