Do you know Geoff I think roses have come a long way from the old fasioned ideas of pruning and this nonsense of leaves. Between Alan T saying there is not alot you can do wrong with pruning and the company that grow the ground cover roses pruning them with a lawn mower(somewhere I read that) they are not the nambie pambie plants they are made out to be they are pretty tough cookies. A good feed with it and you cant go wrong. Thats what I think anyway
I think it is the thing with suckers- those usually have 7 leaves but look completly different from the rose itself and are usually stronger growing-if it starts with 7 leaves then that is the sort of rose it is.
I can show you a picture of my nasty neighbours roses-it is not very good pic- but they have not been pruned for 3/4 years yet still flower-I think people worry to much about plants full stop-they are tougher than we think
How are you getting on with the house sale next door? Our nasty neighbour left two weeks ago Ive since heard the new neighbour would never have bought the house if he'd realised how dirty it was.. Im not surprised to hear it was dirty if her garden was anything to go by
Kate! I suggest if you wanna take shooting up as a hobby! Try one of these! Not good having to run for three hours with one hung over ya shoulder! But really good fun!!

Gary thanks for the explanation but why not have one person from each country and the best man wins?
