How can I make a rose shorter
Or to be exact - have branches lower down. It's climbing a house wall,
and has nothing green below head height. I suspect the answer is cut off short next spring. Andy |

Bend some of the branches right down in the winter and tie them there. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |

Bend some of the branches right down in the winter and tie them there. I was told by a rose grower the answer is to feed and water well, then they will branch from lower down, tend to these then gradually reduce the higher ones. It has certainly worked from me, this is climber roses, not ramblers. |
