    As the new canes grow, train them gently as near to horizontal as you can … that will encourage lots of sideshoots to appear and they’re the ones that’ll bear flowers for you.  😊

    Super. Look at it now. It's exploded! It's quite some distance off the fence, but I'll try to train in as much as I can...

    It does look very happy indeed. Let us know what happens when it flowers … 👍

    I will! Because I'd love to know what type of rose it is  :)
