JDog Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 I planted this Mme. Alfred Carriere rose fifteen years ago when I lived in this village. It has not been well managed since I left the area. Today was my chance to put that right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 The only way to correct is to knock them back. We have 3 climbers, the one on the front was left for years and had nothing until about 5-6 feet, plenty of blossom above but was very top heavy. The 2 over arches pruned regularly in comparison, the blossom last year was outstanding. Till the heavy rain and wind battered them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
