| Common Pear Pyrus communis - 3/2008 Mayo's $10.00 - front - 3/2008 planted 3/2008 already blooming 3/2009 new growth 3/2009 blooms appeared - General Culture: Grow in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun. Prefers sandy or clay loams, but is adaptable to a wide range of soils and soil conditions. Site in a location where periodic chemical spraying will not pose problems to adjacent areas. Needs another variety for cross-pollination. Noteworthy Characteristics: Pears, like apples, are pome fruits. Pears are grafted onto rootstocks which, inter alia, control the size of the tree. This cultivar is available as grafted to a standard rootstock (15-20' tall) or as grafted to dwarfing rootstocks which produce smaller trees (8-12' tall). The 'Moonglow' tree growing at the Kemper Center is grafted to a dwarf rootstock which limits growth to 8-10' tall. Dwarf trees bear standard-size fruit but have the advantages of fitting into smaller spaces and of being more manageable (e.g., easier to spray, prune and harvest). Creamy white flowers in dense corymbs appear in profusion in early spring. Flowers give way to Bartlett-type, yellow pears with a red blush which ripen in mid-August (USDA Zone 5). Problems: Pears are generally difficult to grow in Missouri. Only cultivars with good fireblight resistance should be attempted. 'Moonglow' is resistant to fireblight. Scab can also be a problem. Potential insect problems include codling moths, borers, aphids, scale, leaf rollers and mites. Cold temperature injury to flower buds and flowers from early spring frosts is not uncommon. Uses: Grown primarily for the fruit crop, but early spring bloom has good ornamental value. This dwarf pear is ideal for landscapes with space limitations. Common Name: wild pear Zone: 5 to 8 Plant Type: Fruit Height: 8 to 10 feet Spread: 8 to 10 feet Bloom Time: April - May Bloom Color: White Sun: Full sun Water: Medium Maintenance: High - | 'Moonglow' | Plants | (PlantFiles) |
| Rhododendron Rhododendron - shrub 2 plants Oct. 2007 Home Depot - General Culture: Best grown in acidic, humusy, organically rich, medium moisture, moisture-retentive but well-drained soils in part shade. Prefers a sun dappled or high open shade. Tolerates a fair amount of sun in cool northern summers, but leaves may scorch in hot afternoon sun in the St. Louis area. Plant in a location protected from strong winter winds. Good soil drainage is essential (doesn’t like “wet feet”). Poor drainage inevitably leads to root rot, therefore raised beds/plantings should be considered in heavy clay soils such as those present in much of the St. Louis area. Shallow, fibrous root systems (do not cultivate around plants) will benefit greatly from a mulch (e.g., wood chips, bark or pine needles) to help retain moisture and stabilize soil temperatures. Roots must never be allowed to dry out. Acidify soils as needed. Clip off spent flower clusters immediately after bloom as practicable. This azalea is not reliably winter hardy throughout USDA Zone 5. Noteworthy Characteristics: ‘Delaware Valley White’ is an evergreen azalea whose hybridization is unknown. It typically grows to 3-4’ tall over the first 10 years. Tubular, funnel-shaped, usually single, white flowers (to 2.5” across) bloom in clusters in early mid-season (late April-May). Each flower has 10 stamens. Obovate to oblong green leaves (to 1 1/4”long) usually turn yellow over winter. Some authorities list this cultivar as a Glenn Dale hybrid. Problems: Rhododendrons and azaleas are susceptible to many insect and disease problems, including but not limited to canker, crown rot, root rot, leaf spot, rust, powdery mildew, aphids, borers, lacebugs, leafhoppers, mealybugs, mites, nematodes, scale, thrips and whitefly. A healthy plant in the proper environment with proper care should have limited problems, however. Uses: Mass, group or specimen. Shrub borders, mixed borders, woodland gardens and shade gardens. Also effective in foundation plantings or as a hedge. Common Name: evergreen azalea Zone: 5 to 8 Plant Type: Broadleaf evergreen Family: Ericaceae Height: 3 to 4 feet Spread: 3 to 4 feet Bloom Time: April - May Bloom Color: White Sun: Part shade Water: Medium Maintenance: Medium - | 'Delaware Valley White' | Plants | (PlantFiles) |

| Rhododendron Rhododendron - 7/20/2008 Home Depot $3.00 - side fence - planted 7/21/08 - ultra-hardy, ultra-showy R. mollis 'Koster's Brilliant Red' a misnomer since it's brilliant orange; a true red deciduous azalea is something hybridizers have yet to achieve. - Rhododendron ( Koster's Brilliant Red Mollis Azalea ) Deciduous, tall, upright shrub with reddish-orange, funnel-shpaed flowers. The deciduous hybrid azalea, like it's native counterpart, is known for excellent fall color and unsurpassed spring flowers. The deciduous azalea is usually less picky about soil conditions, though it too prefers acid conditions. Though azaleas have a potentially large list of possible pest and disease problems, they are usually trouble-free if planted correctly in proper cultural conditions. Cultivar: Koster's Brilliant Red Family: Ericaceae Height: 0 ft. to 8 ft. Width: 0 ft. to 6 ft.

| Rhododendron Rhododendron - 4/2008 Home Depot $9.00 - planted 4/08 - Rhododendron minus var minus (Carolinianum) x dauricum var. sempervirens 'PJM Compacta' is one of several PJMs. There is variation in them because the name PJM embodies several closely related & similar lineages developed by Peter J. Mezzit. Some have larger leaves & some such as 'PJM Elite' grow more swiftly & larger. 'PJM Compacta' has smallish round leaves & a much more compact habit. In general PJMs are semi-dwarf at only three to five feet tall in ten years, but 'PJM Elite' can be bigger, & 'PJM Compacta' can stay smaller. All the PJMs are noted for their burgundy leaf-color in winter. The color they lend to the winter garden adds much to their deserved popularity. The winter leaf portrait on the right was snapped in January with snow still on the ground. As spring progresses the leaf color will return to green. The leaves curl under around the edges, a defense mechanism that makes it difficult for insects to stand on the leaf nibbling at the edges. Pink or lavender-pink lightly scented flowers occur late winter & early spring, & can be so numerous the leaves vanish under blooms. The flower portrait here were taken early March. Very hardy & especially cold-hardy, they can be grown further north than most evergreen rhodies. They can tolerate moderate shade but have their best winter color when in an exposed location. In the coastal Northwest there's not much chance of over-exposure to dessicating winter winds or harsh sun, & a few nearby shrubs of about the same size will be sufficient protection. In colder zones a PJM may require more careful positioning so as not to be greatly exposed to winter winds. When grown inland they may prefer dappled sunlight or semi-shade. They're fairly forgiving of imperfect conditions so long as they do not experience too much wetness, wanting moist well-draining soil. - | 'PJM Compacta' | Plants | (PlantFiles) |

If you have a small garden with little room for a large rhododendron - this dwarf rhodo maybe for you. A cross between R. fastigiatum x R. minus var. minus 'Carolinianum Group', R. 'Ramapo' prefers our maritime Pacific Northwest climate. I planted three together and as a grouping they are phenomenal, a great use for edging a border or as a ground cover. They are exceptional as container-grown plants and bonsai. They are reportedly deer resistant. - | 'Ramapo' | Plants | (PlantFiles) |
| Rhododendron Rhododendron kurume - 3/23/2008 K-Mart 2 for $5.00 - side fence - Rhododendron ( Tradition Azalea ) The Kurume hybrid azaleas of Japan owe their parentage to several species of mountain azaleas, predominantly R. sataense with R. kiusianum. Formerly, the Kurume hybrids were grouped under R. obtusum, but modern horticulturists now consider R. obtusum a hybrid and not a separate species. Dense, upright, evergreen shrub with small, 1 1/4 inch long, elliptic, glossy, olive green leaves. The Kurume are prized for showy clusters of small, profuse early to midspring flowers, 1 to 3 per truss, which literally cover the plant. Best adapted to partial sun. Prune immediately after flowering so you won't cut off any of next year's flower buds. Best if not sheared. Beautiful planted in generous, solid-colored drifts along edge of woods. The Kurume hybrids are also prized for bonsai culture. Plant as you would any of the other azaleas: high and in well-drained, acidic soil, rich with organic matter. Though azaleas have a potentially large list of possible pest and disease problems, they are usually trouble free if planted correctly in proper cultural conditions. Characteristics Cultivar: Tradition Family: Ericaceae Size: Height: 6 ft. to 12 ft. Plant Category: landscape, shrubs, Plant Characteristics: low maintenance, Foliage Characteristics: small leaves, evergreen, Foliage Color: green, Flower Characteristics: long lasting, showy, single, Flower Color: pinks, Tolerances: slope, Bloomtime Range: Early Spring to Mid Spring Zone: 7to9 Light Range: Part Shade to Part Sun pH Range: 4.5 to 6 Soil Range: Sandy Loam to Clay Loam Water Range: Normal to Moist - | 'Tradition' | Plants | (PlantFiles) |

| Hybrid Tea Rosa - 3/2008 Walmart $4.00 - driveway - 3/2008 planted 5/1/2008 blooms appeared 4/2009 new growth by 5/4/2009 blooms appeared - Rosa 'Ambassador' is a large-flowered hybrid tea rose which produces a two-toned bloom. The outside of the petal is creamy yellow and the inside is a vibrant shade of apricot. Blooms through summer and fall. Excellent for cutting. In general, roses are a large group of flowering shrubs, most with showy flowers that are single-petalled to fully double-petalled. Leaves are typically medium to dark green, glossy and ovate, with finely toothed edges. Vary in size from 1/2 inch to 6 inches, five petals to more than 30, and in nearly every color. Often the flowers are very fragrant. Most varieties grow on long canes that sometimes climb. Unfortunately, this favorite plant is quite susceptible to a variety of diseases and pests, many of which can be controlled with good cultural practices.

| Hybrid Tea Rose Rosa - 3/22/2008 Home Depot $4.00 - front - planted 3/22/08 new growth 3/08 blooms appeared 6/1/08 3/2009 new growth by 5/2009 blooms appeared by - ‘Arctic Flame’ has rich red blooms that don’t fade as they mature. It is a reliable bloomer producing up to 100 blooms on long stems. Blooming occurs in flushes throughout the season. ‘Arctic Flame’ grows quickly and vigorously, and once established is fairly resistant to drought periods. It holds up to summer heat well. This is a vigorous and long lived rose. Sub Zero roses are hardy to 15-20 below Farenheit without protection, and to 30-25 below Farenheit with minimal to moderate protection. In zone 5, Sub-Zero roses may require minimal winter protection. In zone 4, Sub-Zero roses may require moderate winter protection. In zone 3, Sub-Zero roses may require moderate to maximum winter protection. Prune following instructions for hybrid tea roses. The Brownell Sub-Zero rose series is a lovely collection of hardy hybrid tea roses. This group of tea roses tends to grow somewhat tall and often blooms in clusters, which is a trait more standard to floribunda roses. Many retailers claim they are hardy to zone 3, however they are not. The Sub-Zeros have been found to be completely hardy to 15-20 degrees below farenheit, so most gardeners would agree that in zones 5 and colder they will need winter protection. That is still a very hardy tea rose, just beware of the hardiness claims. More specific information for each rose is below. They do seem to all be grafted to hardy root stock. This is what makes the rose marginally hardy in zones 4 and 5. Absolutely plant them deep (the bud union several inches below the soil surface), and mound soil well up over the graft and crown for winter protection. Zone 5 gardeners might also consider at least minimal protection for winter. Sub-Zero ‘Arctic Flame’ Class: Hybrid tea Sun: Full sun, may tolerate partial shade Height: 3-4’ Spread: 2-4’ Growth Habit: Upright and bushy Bloom Color: Rich red Flower Form: Classic double hybrid tea Flower Size: Large, 4-6” Petal Count: 55 Bloom Season: Repeating, early spring to frost Fragrance: Moderate to strong fragrance Stem: Thorned Foliage: Deep emerald Disease Resistance: Excellent disease and insect resistance Soil: Prefers enriched well drained Hardiness: zones 5 -10 to -15 degrees F without protection - | 'Arctic Flame' | Plants | (PlantFiles) |

| Hybrid Multiflora Rosa - March 2008 Home Depot $4.00 - driveway - planted 3/08 new growth 3/08 blooms appeared 5/10/08 3/2009 new growth by 5/2009 blooms appeared by - Bred in the United States and introduced in 1932, large-flowered 'Blaze' is perhaps the most profuse bloomer of the short climbers, producing a multitude of semidouble, crimson flowers each summer. It is a rambling climber that will spread, scramble, and climb up any support but remain manageable. Climbing roses typically bear large flowers in small clusters and bloom repeatedly throughout the season particularly the modern varieties. They produce long, stiff canes that are best trained horizontally on walls and fences to encourage flowering shoots to form along the entire length of the lateral branches. Plant type rose Hardiness zones 4 to 9 Light full-sun Height 7 ft. to 10 ft. Spread 8 ft. to 10 ft. Bloom time summer Flower color red Bloom size 3" to 3" Foliage color medium-green did you know? Roses have existed in North America for more than 30 million years, according to fossil records found in Colorado. Many historians agree that the Chinese were the first to cultivate the rose more than 5,000 years ago. Archaeologists have even discovered Asian coins minted in 4000 B.C. bearing rose motifs. general maintenance:When leaf buds open in spring, remove winter-damaged branches, and crossing and weak canes. After early-summer flush of flowers, cut back horizontal side branches by half. Renew old, declining bushes at this time by removing oldest, woodiest cane; tie in a new, vigorous cane as a replacement. pests/diseases:Fungal diseases (black spot, powdery mildew) may stunt and discolor leaves or defoliate entire shrubs, especially in humid regions. Common pests include aphids, spider mites, and Japanese beetles. controls:Plant disease-resistant cultivars. To discourage fungal diseases, avoid wetting foliage, and remove and dispose of fallen leaves. Spray a mixture of 4 teaspoons baking soda and 1 tablespoon horticultural oil per gallon of water; repeat weekly. For aphids and spider mites, use horticultural oil, following package directions. Handpick Japanese beetles, and destroy. how to sow/plant:Choose a sunny site with fertile, well-drained soil, and amend with well-rotted manure or compost. Plant container-grown roses in spring or fall (at least a month before frost) at the same level they were in the pot. Plant bare-root roses in early spring; before planting, soak entire plant in water for 12–24 hours to replace lost moisture. Dig a 2-by-2-foot hole. Return some soil to hole, forming a 1-foot mound. Place plant on the mound, fanning out roots. In Zones 6 and warmer, set bud union just above soil level. In Zones 5 and colder, set bud union 2–4 inches below soil level. Cover roots with soil, and water thoroughly, but do not fertilize at this time. water and fertilize:Monitor soil moisture all season; use soaker hose to give roses an inch of water weekly during dry weather. Once newly planted bare-root roses break dormancy, feed with an all-purpose fertilizer at half rate, following package directions. After the first season, feed with balanced organic fertilizer in early spring and again in early summer at first bloom, and spray bushes with kelp extract in early fall. garden hint:To extend the hardiness range a zone or more northward, protect through winter by mounding a mix of 1 part sandy loam and 1 part compost 10 inches high around and over the bases of the bushes then wrap principal upright canes in burlap. Apply the mix in late fall when cold weather has settled in. Remove burlap and half of mix in spring when roses' buds swell, and rake out remaining mix for mulch. features:Attractive Flowers Attractive Foliage Deciduous Fragrant garden uses:Climbing Flowerbed borders other uses:Cut Flower combine with:clematis varieties selected to extend the bloom season and create beautiful color combinations or less vigorous varieties of honeysuckle, such as goldflame honeysuckle At Turkey Hill, Martha underplants the rose arbors with a mix of violas and minor bulbs, such as grape hyacinths spring beauties and star flower - | 'Blaze' | Plants | (PlantFiles) |
| Hybrid Tea Rose Rosa - 3/2008 Walmart $6.00 - back garden - planted 3/08 new growth 3/08 blooms appeared 5/30/08 - ‘Chicago Peace’ is a variant of the renowned ‘Peace’ rose, that was discovered by a grower living in Chicago. On ‘Chicago Peace’, the pink edging is richer and can spread throughout the petals, as you see here. The reverse is an intense coppery gold. While ‘Chicago Peace’ is stunning, it has the bad habit of reverting to one of its parents. To keep it stable, remove any stems that appear to be reverting. ‘Chicago Peace’ loves the heat and is also hardy down to Zone 5. I must assume it doesn’t mind the wind either, being from Chicago. Bloom time is late spring / early summer, with periodic rebloom. Be cautious handling ‘Chicago Peace’, because it can get very thorny. It is also susceptible to fungus diseases and it’s not particularly fragrant. - | 'Chicago Peace' | Plants | (PlantFiles) |
| Hybrid Tea Rose Rosa - 12/21/07 Pope's $10.00 - back yard - planted 12/21/07 new growth 3/08 blooms appeared 5/1/08 - Hybrid Tea Rose 'Chrysler Imperial' 1952 This rose was one of the first roses to be involved in the promotional marketing of a consumer product, the Chrysler Imperial car. We can only hope the cars bearing this name performed as well. Lovely, long pointed buds open to globular flowers of dark velvety red. The 4-5 inch blooms contain a strong citrus scent. A must in any of our flower arrangements, we enjoy the striking color and the heavenly fragrance. The bush is nicely shaped with semi glossy foliage Chrysler Imperial' a sensation when it was introduced in 1952, remains one of the best hybrid teas. It blooms profusely in early summer, flowering at a more moderate pace thereafter up until first frost. The high-centered, deep-red blooms are very full and have a heady perfume. Happiest where winters are temperate and summers are warm and dry, 'Chrysler Imperial' is prone to mildew in areas with cool summers. Plant type rose Hardiness zones 6 to 10 Light full-sun Height 3 ft. to 5 ft. Spread 2 ft. to 4 ft. Habit upright Bloom time fall,summer Flower color red - Chrysler Imperial rose, a classic hybrid tea rose that's been around since the 1950's. The blooms of this rose have a dramatic and beautiful red color and an exquisite rose fragrance which is the reason Imperial Chrysler roses are still very popular. Chrysler Imperial' rose The buds are elegantly tapered and open into high-centered flowers up to 5 inches across, with a rich, deep, velvety red color. The strongly scented flowers start blooming in late spring and repeat throughout the summer, with another good flush of blooms in the fall. The foilage is semi-glossy and deep green with thorny canes. The rose grows to 3-6 feet tall and about 3 feet wide, showing more growth in warmer climates. Growing Information and How To Care For Imperial Chrysler roses This rose plant has a fairly stiff, upright form, so it looks best if planted in groups of three or more, for a more bushier look. The fragrant, long-stemmed rose flowers make excellent cut flowers, so you might want to grow these roses in a cutting garden with good sun exposure; a sunny site is a must, as it is not shade tolerant. It's not a cold hardy rose, in fact the growing problems are, it's prone to diseases, such as blackspot and mildew, particularly in cool climates. Plant it in a spot with good air circulation and be prepared to spray if blackspot and mildew is a problem in your area. Zones 6-9, height up to 6 feet - | 'Chrysler Imperial' | Plants | (PlantFiles) |
| Hybrid Tea Rose Rosa - Nov 2007 Pope's Nursery $15.00 - back garden - planted 11/07 new growth 3/08 blooms appeared 5/1/08 - Rosa 'Dolly Parton' Hybrid Tea Rose General Description The very fragrant ‘Dolly Parton’ is a beautiful hybrid tea rose with large fully double flowers of deep orange-red. This vigorous rose was introduced in 1983 by Conrad-Pyle roses and has an upright bushy habit and strong stems lined with sharp woody thorns. Its compound leaves are large, glossy, leathery and dark green. From late spring to frost, it offers lots of huge, long-stemmed blooms with a spicy fragrance and as many as 45 petals each. Most roses bloom with greater vigor if the spent flowers are removed. In hot climates, roses bloom the most during the cooler winter months and less in summer. Roses prefer full to partial sun, moderate temperatures and perfectly drained, slightly acid soil with average to good fertility. They grow best in places with slightly dry climates, because such climates disfavor the fungal diseases that plague them. For this reason, it is important to maintain good airflow within and between planted roses through good planting and pruning practices which will dissuade fungal attacks. They are also susceptible to a suite of viral and bacterial diseases as well as insect pests, so it is wise to select a robust and resistant cultivar when choosing a rose. Dolly Parton is more disease resistant than average and performs best in warmer climates. Tea roses are a garden must. They are perfect for sunny foundations, mixed borders and cutting gardens. In subtropical climates, roses bloom the most during the cooler winter months, less in summer and are evergreen. - | 'Dolly Parton' | Plants | (PlantFiles) |
| Climber Rosa - Mar 2008 Mayo's $8.00 - deck - planted 3/08 new growth 3/08 3/2009 new growth by 5/2009 blooms appeared by - Don Juan Climbing Roses Red roses are one of the most popular colors of roses, and of them, a popular type of rose is the Don Juan climbing rose. Climbing roses are considered easier to grow than many other types of roses, as they require less pruning than regular rose bushes and are very vigorous. They live for many years and can add a lot of dimension to flower gardens. They can be useful in a small backyard garden, as they take up little space but consistently add color from their flowers and their foliage. The Don Juan roses are very well liked climbing roses, with a beautiful deep red color, a large bloom, a strong fragrance, and a long cane(stem or branch) for anyone enjoying a freshly cut flower, as well as repeat blooming so gardeners can have a constant supply of fresh roses for flowers with little extra rose care. They also add their deep color to a garden without taking up extra room, and can fill up a blank wall or decorate a pillar with ease. These flowers are a good choice for gardeners who like growing long cane flowers, or who like training and growing climbing roses. The Don Juan grows to about 8 ft tall, which can vary depending on climate, but the highest it grows is 10ft, which is manageable. It can be trained to go up a pillar, or to grow in any direction to work with the rose garden design. The Don Juan climbing rose is popular because it is considered as beautiful as many of the Hybrid Tea roses, but is a fragrant climbing rose. It is very rare for a climbing rose to be fragrant. Like many modern climbing roses need to be, the Don Juan rose is disease resistant and thus is less vulnerable to fungal attacks such as Black Spot Disease or Rust. It is still best to keep them in an area with good air circulation and free of excess moisture. Taking care of Don Juan roses can be fairly simple. So long as they are watered, they rarely give gardeners any trouble, while still blooming in a beautiful display every spring, and sometimes an extra display at the end of summer. Other Don Juan rose owners have said that the Don Juan roses can be left with little care and will still grow beautiful flowers. It is still best to do a bit of winter gardening, to try to protect the plant from the harsh environment and any storms by finding a way to cover it in plastic and by covering the ground under it with mulch or plastic. Don Juan climbing roses, like any roses, need to be carefully planted and given proper amounts of water, as well as a good organic or chemical fertilizer. For those beginning flower gardening the Don Juan climbing rose may be a good choice as it is low maintenance and can be very hardy, while still offering the pleasures of rose gardening. - | 'Don Juan' | Plants | (PlantFiles) |

A Gold Medal winner it deserves a lot of praise. 'Iceberg' rose is now available in pink. The blushing pink iceberg roses are quite beautiful and combine well with the white variety. It is considered one of the best roses of all time. It has lovely pure white rain resistant, shapely blooms that are long lasting, both as a cut flower and as a bush. Iceberg white floribunda rose is such a trouble-free rose, and so easy to grow, so be sure to plant several of these white rose bushes. In fact they look best in mass plantings or as hedges in your garden. I enjoy them in my garden as foundation plantings. The white rose flowers look stunning against my green painted house. The flowers are so lovely, a pure white color with a nice sweet rose fragrance. They bloom non-stop all summer with only minimal care. The picture of the 'Iceberg' roses above, shows you how to grow these roses in your front garden. Here white and pink 'Iceberg' roses line a front walkway for a very beautiful effect. These roses bloom nonstop until frost with very little care. Just water on a regular basis and provide a good fertilizer every month. The best time to prune Iceberg is late winter or early spring. This is a floribunda rose so it should be pruned accordingly. However with this rose, I find it's easier to simply shear it down by a third and shape it a bit around to control the size. The individual flower sprays can have almost a dozen flowers. so one flower spray will fill up a whole vase. The blooms can also be used in a white wedding bouguet, with other white flowers. The white rose bush is so spectacular, it is quite a showstopper. Every garden in the zones below, should have a few or lots of these easy to care for white roses. Zones 5-9, bush height 3-4 feet Iceberg Rose As a Hedge Cllimbing Iceberg Rose This rose is also available as a short climber. Since it is not too rampart it's great for a small arbor or trellis in a smaller garden space or a balcony. Another good way to use the climbing vareity is for lower small fences and veranda posts. It's never without blooms, disease resistant, healthy and robust. Pruning 'Iceberg' Roses Climbing Iceberg care and pruning is a breeze. Climbing rose varieties should not be pruned the first couple of years. Give them time to grow flowering canes and train the climbers to grow horizontally and tie them to the support. The only pruning during this time would be to remove dead or damaged wood. When the rose is established, pruning can begin, in late winter or early spring, cut back lateral shoots growing from the main canes to about 4 inches. Then only prune or trim back to keep the rose in bounds and growing where you like it. Go easy. Every 3-5 years remove unproductive canes at the base. This will produce new flowering canes to grow from the base. - | 'Iceberg, Cl.' | Plants | (PlantFiles) |
