Before the chop.
The stump.
25 July 2011
Drastic action.
Today I took drastic action on an old climbing rose by the potting shed door. It is/was an old rose that refused to put out any new growth from the bottom as a result all the flowers were way up at the top of the plant so I've cut the whole lot off leaving a stump of about 9 to 12 inches from which I'm hoping new shoots will be forced to sprout forth. I will try and remember to let you know how it goes on - if it does.

It may not send up long canes again. What variety is it? Do keep us posted.
