Pruning climbing rose
Hi - I have a two year old rose climbing over an arch in my garden. Due to arrival of child #2 last summer, the rose didn't get any sort of attention after flowering and is now a bit of a mess. Can I cut it right back now and train it a bit better, or is it better to just lightly prune and deal with it properly in the autumn?
Many thanks! (A slightly clueless!) Kathryn |
