    I have been putting wheelbarrow loads of well rotted horse manure on the garden. Absolutely full of big fat worms. I had one border of really poor soil that I thought would suit my bulbous plants and Australians. It mostly does, but too many other plants die in that regime, so I'm "fattening it up".

    Since my medical adventures, I do have a bladder built like an industrial pressure cooker... and coupled to kidneys that don't work to Western time. :biggrin: I am an easy four-pinter nowadays. Trouble is, once it does let go, I then do a fine racehorse impression.

    I assume it’s a rose from how you are describing the growth, do you know which one it is? Also when are you pruning it? If doing it in the Autumn/winter maybe you need to cut the flowering spurs back harder or a second time in early Spring. It will delay flowering but hopefully on shorter stems.
