Hi,

I was about to post a query about when to prune my roses - in tubs on the
patio - but Google told me March/April after the last frosts.

The reason I was looking was because I have noticed that the roses have
burst into life and are putting on loads of new growth, and I was wondering
if I had left it too late (as I usually do with my grape vines).

Everything seems to be putting out new shoots at the moment and we are
barely into winter.

So far we seem to have missed most of the nasty cold wet and windy stuff in
coastal Sufolk so I starting to wonder if we are going to have a winter at
all!

Is it usual for roses to grow strongly at this time of year?
First season for these as I bought them last year.

TIA
Dave R
