Pruning Roses
Roses seem to grow and produce flowers for only a few years before becoming exhausted and starting to develop flowers down the lower part of the stem.Pruning is therefore needed to prvent the plant becoming a tangled mass of dying and living wood with inferior blooms.
Rambling Roses
Rambling roses have diminished in popularity over the years.They bloom only once a year albeit with
a spectacular show of flowers but are not generally disease resistant and do need regular pruning.
Flowers grow on new wood so you will need to prune each year for a good show of flowers all over the plant.However rambling roses are a good choice in some areas, where their natural talents can be exploited.Rambling roses flexible stems will clamber enhusiastically up dead trees that would otherwise be an eyesore, or scramble riotously along the soil to produce unusual ground cover.

I didn’t know that roses can flower down the stem after years of planting. Gosh, there’s so much to know about plants and flowers.
