Wild roses cut back to 4 inches high...
Hi,
I and my neighbours have (or had until yesterday) a row of wild roses that were about 5 feet high (4ft deep and 80ft long) along the front of our gardens. Yesterday, I returned home to discover that the coucil's landscape gardeners had pruned this row to a height of about four inches... The question is then, are the plants likely to recover from such a severe cutting? Thanks for any answers... Gareth |

Perhaps a better question would be whether the Council had any right to prune your roses? This reminds me of a story some years ago - probably in the days of British Rail. BR were triming trees through a cutting to ensure the line wasn't obstructed etc. etc., but in doing so, the work gang got in to a persons garden and cut down a number of trees belonging to that person (and not interfering with the railway) - leaving quite a hideous view of the railway and a very irrate gardener. Didn't ever find out what happened afterward.... Sarah |
