Rick's Rose

your rose is so pretty - ours never do that well

Looks so soft & delicate :-)

Looking good,Pixi..lovely colour :o)

Gorgeous

not all my roses have done well..this one has had many blooms which as soon as they came out were destroyed by the rain..but it has many buds so hopefully this sunshine will continue :)))))))

I've just cut all mine back about halfway,Pixi..and lots of new growth coming..looking forward to the second lot,which always seem to last longer...

ooh maybe I'll do that! :))))

It will do it good,Pixi..just prune to an outward facing bud,or leaf joint....:o)

Well i pruned it in spring time..still do it? now?

Very pretty.

Yes Pixi..it still has time to put new growth on,and more flowers..you could still have some well into late autumn..
You dont need to prune it as hard back as you do in Spring..I've taken about 9 to 12 " off mine.,as I cut them quite low then.....just depends how big it is now..mine are really tall..I have also taken a lot of diseased leaves off ,as it's been a really bad year for that..they only infect your soil..I forgot to ask..is it a repeat flowering Rose,or one that only flowers once anyway? If it's the latter..I'm not sure if it will flower again..I assumed it was a Floribunda..:o)

Thanks CLarice:)
Oh ok Bloomer will do!!!!!!! I dont know anything about it..will ask the boss lol. I was jsut taking off rust a nd black spot leaves..on all my roses except this one!

I can't see any on it Pixi :o) Mine are disease resistant ones,but not this year ,they aren't! ..Worst they have ever been...:o(

none on this one lol...all the rest have been badly affectged

That's good..must be a good un ! :o)

:) well it came form a good un! :))))

very true..nice to know he hasn't got rust or blackspot ! :o)

Beautiful.

Thank you Mossy :))))))
