What's happening in your garden today?

This is a guide for shrub roses, climbers and ramblers are pruned differently. Step 4 can be ignored as it's not necessary to remove the leaves. I would take a quarter or third off the top growth every year depending on how strong growing the rose is.

Great info! Thank you for sharing this. We're hoping to put a rose bush in the front flower bed this year so this will definitely come in handy, at least for the wife, soon!

You're welcome. Roses are best grown in bare soil, so don't mulch around them as it helps to keep them clear of disease.

Interesting. Never heard that before. Thanks.
