Are we to treat these the same as other roses regarding feed etc? I have trimmed mine back recently along with other roses and now believe I should not have done so. Is it true I will loose this years flowers? T i a
I'm a great gallica fan. They run around on their own roots (sucker) and pop up amongst my rhododentrons. Shade and poor acid sand. I never feed, spray, or water them. I prune only a little after flowering. Maybe a tidy before winter. If you were too savage you may have lost most flowers.
I will post pics of mine in the season. But here's a taster from 2022.
It is in fact of my own breeding. Actually a sport/reversion of Rosamundi, I call it "officinalis"
location: Surrey Hills, England, ex-woodland acidic sand. "Have nothing in your garden that you don't know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
