Roses

For pruning it all depends on where you live. We prune in March or April depending on the weather. Here's a video I have made a thread about this guy, it's called Fraser valley rose farm

Good afternoon @Finston Pickle please keep us updated with your observations and findings my friend It would be really appreciated,thank you

As with blue colour dyed orchids they will revert to their natural colour (white) unless repeated again.

You're welcome newbiemud. Sorry, I know absolutely nothing about Wisteria and not as much as I'd like about climbing and rambling roses, I've always grown shrub roses.@wiseowl has spent most of his life working with roses and is GC's resident rosarian so you can trust his judgement.

Following your reply's. I do think that I have sucker on this rose. I have cut it off as low as I can.

Let them grow past the wires ( 2ft at least ) then bring them down to be tied in, I assume you are tying them to horizontal wires . Doing it this way will speed up the frame work of a climbing rose , tying them down continuously will slow the plant down. Morning is the best time to be tying /...

Hi,You could try and save it, but at 20+ years old is it worth it ?Think we would replace it with a better rose, if you renewed the surrounding soil to avoid any diseases, or just plant something totaly different ?

You're welcome. Yes, it does seem strange that you and I have the same zone considering we're both at each end of mainland Britain. The Highland area of Scotland is quite variable in its climate pattern.

i choose a Yellow climbing rose - Amnesty International, only had a few weeks "wiseowl" kindly posted some info on the AI rose in my intro thread Hi Other info on various links, however i have not yet reached the criteria to post any links externally

Good morning @deirdre Kehoe my friend my apologies for missing your postI would plant at least 5-10 roses of the same variety, in a single line, to create the effect of one continuous hedge. Plant the roses closer together than normal to form a continuous, dense line, overlapping them by half...

Good afternoon @Gilly31 my friend your Roses look just splendid and a credit to you just carry on caring for them like you have been

I've got 5 or 6 rose bushes that are firmly established in my garden. They flower OK every year but my problem is that the flowers only ever appear right at the top of the plant. Having cut them back over each winter time they grow to 4-5 ft tall by the summer and the roses they produce are...

Good afternoon @Liz7 my friend please leave it with me and I shall see what more I can discover Can I respectfully suggest that maybe you could get in touch with the supplier/shop which might give us a better idea,enjoy the rest of your dayps Off the top of my head the only climbing Rose...

I don't think I've ever owned a hybrid tea rose, they have all been floribunda's with the exception of a couple of standards. What colours are you thinking of Woo for your two/three?

Good morning @Shubela my dear friend my apologies no worries I couldn't be sure if it was a sucker or not with out seeing the bud union, I am sure your Roses will be OK and will reward you for many years to come and if you need anymore advice please just ask and in a way we are all beginners...

Now that's what I like to hear, an ambitious gardener with high standards! Nick

I forgot to update this, sorry. I went for a square planter for now so as not to overwhelm the rose, and then I can move it on when it gets bigger. The rose has rewarded me with a first bloom, and would you look at that colour! Gorgeous!It is currently sat atop the table as I am...
