I have a rose bush that is quite large. It keeps growing even though I have tried to move it several times. It wants to be in this one place that is the wrong place and comes back every year.
The last 2 years I pretty much left it on it's own but it really is over grown and in my way. I was wondering if it would be ok if it was pruned to a few inches from the ground now in the late summer? Or do you prune roses in the Spring?
It is some type of a wild pink rose that can grow quite tall. I have however noticed that this year it bloomed around early June with beautiful flowers only lasting a short time and never rebloomed this year. Could be from my hacking on it in the past or from digging it up a few times. lol
I love roses, they smell wonderful, and are quite attractive but I hate the thorns! And this bush is quite close to where I park and by our back door so you have to be careful walking around it to get into the van.
Any suggestions as to whether I can cut it down now? I don't want to kill it..just want to get it out of my way for the rest of the season.
thanks,
pk
