I pruned this climbing rose back very hard this winter. The work has paid off. Sombreuil's spring flush is beginning and it will be its best ever.
Back in February:
Early yesterday morning:
I could not get the rose all in the frame in one shot.
I'm going to be happily sweeping up rose petals for months.
Splendid rose ! I must take care of mine in a similar way in the next February...
ReplyDeletehoovb, your Sombreuil looks absolutely breathtaking! Congratulation! All the hard work of pruning has more than paid off. Thanks for posting pics of your wonderful rose!

I feel the same way about sweeping. There's happy sweeping and annoying sweeping. The annoying kind mostly takes place indoors.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Sombreuil! Is it own root or grafted?
ReplyDeleteThat one is grafted.
