The weather has suddenly started to feel like winter. Today was cold but at least it was sunny, much easier to wrap up warm and get outside. My problem is my toes, they do hate the cold and despite two pairs of socks I still only managed around half an hour.
Today was the day I pruned (it felt more like attacked) the standard rose, we brought this about two years ago. Mr MC&W fell for bits big pink flowers and it came home with us. Then it was a lovely compact rose full of beautiful flowers.
Last year I did not prune it and to be honest it looked a mess, the branches had grown long and were trailing. When it was windy the whole plant nearly fell over.
This year I was determined to do something about it, I did a few google searches and I watched an excellent video from the Garden Ninja on YouTube. He made it all sound very simple so off I went with my secateurs and enthusiasm.
All I had in my mind was cut to outward facing buds and remove dead wood. So I looked carefully and chopped down to the first outward facing bud I could see and then took of all the deadwood.
What was surprising, how much deadwood needed to be removed. Some of the longer branches I cut back harder to give the rose more shape but stuck to making sure it was an outside facing bud.
I hope this has worked and look forward to the summer to see how this amazing rose does. As it is my first time doing anything like this, I was pretty careful and followed the tips given. I will post photos in the summer of I hope a more compact flowering rose.
