Rosa rubrifolia (glauca)

Lovely Dd. i have these too. Hopefully youll get flowers next year as the hips are nice afterwards. Like cocoa beans.

It has ben in the garden for 15 years now Dawn, really don't know why it has decided not to flower?

The stems on mine are very long with flowers at end, I only prune out the dead or untidy bits. Yours seems more compact, and leafy.

She's probably tired, like me ;-)

Dawn I know the feeling, especially trying to maintain a garden the size of yours!!
Siris we cut it almost to the ground late Spring, and have done for the last few years!

Oh well, next year then.

Its never ending Dd is it? I'm always ready for the winter break but eager to get going again by Feb. i'll try and remember to cut mine down in spring.

Dont blame me, though if you don't get any flowers lol

Lol. Still quite young so i might leave them this time ;)

Good idea Dawn!!
