Rose already in flower
Hi, I have a David Austin rose called 'Golden Anniversary' which is already in flower. Is it too early? And will it be okay flowering this early? I am pretty sure it is doing this because I was too scared to prune too much as I didn't want to kill the rose. I would really appreciate some advice on this.
Thank you

Don't panic! I have a rose in bloom and so does someone else on the forum. If it wants to bloom, then let it.
Oh thank you everyone for your advice. I will definatly just relax and enjoy
Don't worry. It's all about pruning. Last year one of my climbing roses that grows against a south facing cream wall had it's 1st flower on 26th Feb! I'd pruned it quite early in October (I have a lot to do and not much spare time to do it). It still flowered all summer. Deadhead back to 2 leaf axils on the flowering stems and feed after each flush.
