There were four canes right in the middle of that rose that turned out to be rootstock. I had to prune the canes back and since I bury my bud unions I had to get the little shovel and dig far enough to be able to twist those canes off. It took a bit of effort since Huey had developed his own crown but I got it off. A lot of rosarians would have shovel pruned the whole rose since Tropicana is an old variety and a thorny bugger as well, plus I do have another, but I like this rose :) Diana |
