    Hi all,

    Can anyone advise me on the best course of action for my droopy Oranges and Lemons?

    It seems that the leaves and flowers are too heavy for the stems :-(. It was only planted this year, so it is still a young rose.

    TIA

    Hi Newtonuk,as it is its first year, its useful to train and tidy up (Lightly prune)as its growing before it flowers,when its time to prune your lovely Rose(Feb/March/2011) then you can train your Rose the way that you wish it to grow,if you want to just tidy it up now,you can,but otherwise just leave it as it is,at the moment its just a juvenile doing its own thing:)

    Well, as my rose keeping skills are also very young, I'd be happy for you to tell me where to tidy it if you can from those pictures.

    Cheers
