Just doing a quick check I'm supprised to see it rated as a Rambler, I always thought that with a rambler you cut out the wood that had flowered and trained in the new growth, where as with a climber toy gradualy developed a permanant framework and just pruned as required as well as removing the old flowers. I always curse myself for not having cuttings of Peace when I worked in Cardiff. A person I was training had 4 bushes in his garden, He bought them for his wife in 1948 so they would have been the Origional stock that was brought through the War, now they have been re selected so often.
