a horticulturist has recently done this and states publicly that there in no appreciable difference to his blooms. There is so much info about rose pruning one is apt to get confused especially as there are so many types,hybrid tea.floribunda. standards, bushes, shrubs, climbers, ramblers, French, English and others, all, we are told should be pruned differently. Its a bit confusing ain't it. I am leaning towards the chainsaw method as the bloke next door hasn't a clue yet his roses are as good as mine, after I've spent hour after hour slight pruning in Autumn to prevent wind 'rock', full pruning about now to an outfacing bud at an angle to prevent rain steeping into stem causing die back. Are we being conned
by the so called experts? or is whackin e'm off with a chainsaw a more expedient way? I'm a bit of a coward and
cannot bring myselt to such drastic action. What are your views roselovers?
