grown as a glorious short climber.<br />

Summer pruning:<br />
‘A Shropshire Lad’ and many of the<br />
more vigorous English <strong>Roses</strong> respond well<br />
to summer pruning, especially in warmer<br />
areas. After flowering, cut back the stems<br />
by between 45 and 60cm, leaving two or<br />
three leaves of the current season’s<br />
growth. This helps to maintain a nice<br />
shrubby shape and encourage quicker<br />
repeating.
