RE: climbing rose

I bet it comes back. Although I did kill two Banks roses once by hacking
them back to a main stem, they were threatening to collapse our chicken
coop and we went a little overboard.
My Austin roses that I chopped off at knee level this winter look great,
as you all told me they would...big strong canes came from the stems, no
suckers so far, they should bloom in a few weeks I think.

re "The Fairy". Mine wins a prize at the county fair every time I enter
it.
Not fragrant, but looks good all summer as long as I nip off the dead
blooms
once or twice. I chopped it back to 2-3 foot canes this spring. Had to
get
in there to dig some daylillies I wanted to move. So far it's sulking.
Hope
I didn't kill it.
