HAVE: Have Climbing Old Blush
Comments (2)I know it has been years, but any chance you still have Climbing Old Blush?...See MoreOld Blush shrubs. Do you ever prune them?
Comments (5)And I do the same thing. Many years, I do nothing. After 4 years of drought, they have any number of dead canes. I cut those out, and leave the plant to fill in with new growth. I did that about 4 months ago to "The China From Adina" (which is probably a self-seedling or sport of 'Old Blush.' It's fuller now than it was a week or more ago, when I took this: It has now pushed up many new canes and is going into a good flush of bloom. There is NO old-dead growth on the plant, and it's 4.5-ft. tall, or a bit taller....See MoreOld blush hedge - Would you use a hedge trimmer on it?
Comments (16)Of course in the garden you wouldn't keep mowing them off down low, at the same even height - unless they were bedding roses, that were being pruned short anyway. Without ever removing any stems at all. And the fact remains that with all kinds of woody plants the more you cut away of the top (or roots) the less growth (and therefore bloom) you get afterward. Until the specimen replaces the same volume of top that was there in the first place. So if the most possible bloom is the objective then the greatest amount of top that can be managed will be desirable....See More3rd attempt.. Old blush hedge - Would you use a hedge trimmer on it?
