    Fantastic!  You just wait until next summer when it's a 'wall of roses'.  Paul Z will be proud of you image

    Question Dove,

    Do I leave this years growth in place?

    I presume it continues to grow from where it left off etc?

    Yes - I'd leave it alone now.  Those canes will throw out the side shoots which will flower next year.

    When it gets too rampant have a look at the Pruning Climbing roses video from PZ

    He explains it so clearly doesn't he image
