Alicia,

thanks for the info - very useful.

my TB canes were starting to get very thick at the end of the first year.

likewise, i had very little dieback.  i did top it last fall because it was
very
tall and it was only 6 months old (in my garden.)  it was one of the first
to take off for me this year.  right now she has lots of blooms.  i like
the way there are little ticks of hot pink showing in the buds.
the only thing i don't like is that yellow green foliage.  is yours on
the yellow side?  i assume it is the normal color and not deficient in
something. (?)

TB is 6' in zone 4 hum?  well, that will totally block my fence.
i wonder if i can trim it and keep her and keep her 4-5 feet tall?
how do rugosas take to steady pruning?

Phillip - wondering if both of my Therese Bugnet's are actually
weeds! i.e. plants out of place...

Sadorus, IL
zone 5
