Member # 1345 posted                       I have mainly HT roses I cut them back after every bloom and give a good shapeing in the spring.maybe a lil more fertilizer durring the growing season would make them bloom a lil better. I cut them back to the 1st set of 5 leaves and at an angle that gives a sharp tip and do it below a thron so will make it sprout a stem.I cut my angle to make the rose grow in direction i want(((does that make sence to you????a right angle makes grow one way a left angle the oppisite??))))) I have 4 roses will be moveing soon.will trim when move them& will make sure take a before after pic of pruneing 3 are HT the other is a climer that I let get engulfed with MG last year being in calif......your roses should do great their...though cost on your water bill some * * * * I will age ungracefully until I become an old woman in a small garden..doing whatever the Hell I want! http://community.webshots.com/user/njoynit03 http://community.webshots.com/user/njoynit http://photos.yahoo.com/njoynit03 Plants: 2209 | From: SE TX`in the yard somewhere most likely | Registered: Jul 2003  |  Seeded: 67.203.73.4 catlover The Cheetah!
