Rose ID and pruning/training advice
Hello - first time poster here hoping someone may be able to offer their advice please.
Many thanks!
I think this rose is an iceberg given the pointed buds tinged with pink, coppery new leaves, thornless stems - and prone to black spot
But that might be totally wrong!
i would love to know if it’s a shrub or climber - I was hoping the latter hence the trellis!
Depending on what it is - how is it best pruned and supported? It’s two years old if that helps and a bit sorry-looking owing to me not knowing how to look after it. How much should I prune and should the stems that come forwards be trained back to the trellis or just supported by canes where they are?
