Re: [Rose-list] Pruning Experiment

Thanks Carleen,
I planted a climber last fall, It is attached to a trellis by the house.
I want ti grow it tall
enough to the deer and reach it!!  It is leafing out now, I don't see any
dead wood yet!
The bottom looks a little sparse, I am planting a Clematis to disguise
the base.
Have a great day, we keep getting little rain showers, wonderful!
