Rosa Compassion and New Dawn

Pretty rose , my New Dawns flowering you sent me, I was a bit worried about it as it had to be moved last year incident with the swing seat it was climbing up, but its settled down well in its new home :-)

Awww Kathy, that is good to hear. Its a nice rose isnt it. Just added the title, the other one is Compassion :-)

Snap we have New Dawn and Compassion together, and they have done so well this year...I felt so sorry for them trying to keep their heads above the water!....which has been torrential here...

Do you DD, what a coincidence. I know, so much rain, Compassion doesnt cope with the rain as well as New Dawn, does it

I need some advice on my New Dawn or Is it Albertine, from cutting. About 25 years old, 3 stems circumference of my wrist, at least 3x6ft treillis long.....prune(saw down) or remove?

OH thinks replace it, after 25 years it wont get any better, a chance to buy a new rose or whatever!!
Dawn New Dawn is a remarkable rose, we have her just outside the conservatory( as well as on the arch ) and the perfume is delicious, and despite the rain she has bounced back every time.....

Thank OH for me, I thought too that it needed to go, just putting off doing it, will be hard work.

Yes, new dawn always looks good.

Roses as a rule do not have huge roots......Alan will remove it for you!!

No way Dd, I will do it myself, after the flowers it has, have finished.
