roses flowering on old or new growth
I hope someone can help me as I'm about to order some bare root roses - which ones flower on previous years growth and which on the current year. And is it really essential to prune them as soon as they are planted out. Many thanks in advance

Free standing roses tend to move a lot in the wind so you need to cut them back hard until the roots have established or they'll just fall over in the first breeze. -- Martin & Anna Sykes ( Remove x's when replying ) |
