'Climbing Iceberg' Growth Habit; 'Altissimo' Growth Habit

'Climbing Iceberg' has a zig-zag growth habit.  The flexible canes tend to be slender but not quite to the point of twiggyness.  They have very few prickles.

'Altissimo' has a pillar-like growth habit with plenty of large prickles.  The main canes are stiff and strong, with plentiful large prickles.

  1. I hope you get some rain soon, so that all those cutback roses can put on some luscious growth this year.

  2. I just cut back all of the roses (under attack). Oh, for some with "very few prickles".
