How to shape roses?
Ladies,
I have some knock out roses that are growing horizontally, growing largerly as a bush and I put some sticks to hold the branches but still they tend to go towards the soil.
I also have some roses (not sure which type) and they tend to make roses way too high. I pruned them last year and again a month ago and they have lots of leaves but make a few roses and usually so high that nobody can enjoy them.
How do I shape them to look like an urn or a nice size bush with roses at eye level?
TIA
Re: How to shape roses?
I'm new to caring for roses, but this is what I refer to (http://www.rosemagazine.com/pages/pruning.asp). My local nursery told me that the canes should form a vase (my roses are shrub roses).
The grower of my roses has regional rose care calendar on their website (http://www.jproses.com/?page=web_pages&file=calendarregional.htm).
When you pruned last month, you may have removed the buds so that may explain why there aren't many flowers. Perhaps since the plant doesn't have as many flowers to produce, it is putting its energies into overall growth.
