This rose http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p677/LuluTheLurcher/002_zps6a982e83.jpg
has grown a really long stem. Should I cut it back say 3/4 down?

My Pure Abundance rise throws out a really long stem sometimes. I just leave it to do its own thing and flower, to be honest, though I can see that the asymmetry of onLY one long stem may not please everyone!
the other stems on yours look nice and healthy though.
I do cut mine right back once flowering has finished and it always produces new, strong stalks and more flowers.
Thanks Jess. Its an un named one so it could well be the one you mention. I'll leave it for now and see what happens.
Its always lovely to guess the plant, especially when you inherit one! Good luck.
