Anyone out there know about roses?
I have one rose bush that is just 2 years old in the back garden. I have recently pruned it but not sure how low to go. At the moment, it's about a foot high but wondering whether I should have gone a bit lower.
Also I have two climbing roses (1 white, one red) by the side of the front door. They are about 8 years old. I've never really pruned it, just cut off the dead flower heads but it's looking very sorry for itself - only about 4 ft high and only get about 6 flowers on each every year. Can I prune it right back in the hopes it will flourish or will I kill it off for good?
Neither of them seem to suffer from any disease...
