      Don't panic ... Super Owl will be along as soon as he is free :)

      In the meantime, do you know which variety of rose they are?
      How long have you had them?

        Good evening @Clueless76 my friend, yes more information as our good friend @"M" has asked for would be very helpful,but on looking at your two Roses I would respectfully suggest that they haven't been pruned correctly if at all;)

        Sorry about arriving late I was just helping @Jenny namaste with some knitting:lunapic 130165696578242 5:

              I put them in last summer.. And have been looking for the tickets and can't find them... Typical... From memory they are both thornless one Is a deep pink and one purple they both smell divine and if you named them I would know... I'm probably not helping much am I?

                      Hi @Clueless76 its very difficult to advise you on the next step,for all we know they could be climbers;) But if it were me I would cut them down by half to an outward bud:smile:
