Roses are<br />
rewarding me<br />
for my work<br />
I have a beautifully-scented old<br />
climbing rose (‘Maigold’) that arches<br />
around the kitchen window. Last<br />
winter I gave it a prune – a real short<br />
back and sides. While I was doing it,<br />
I decided a change of style was also in<br />
order. I took a new shoot and trained it<br />
not over, but under the window. When<br />
I’d finished I must admit it looked<br />
rather scalped. What had I done? Well<br />
fast-forwarding to now, having given it<br />
a good spring feed, I know it’s forgiven<br />
me, as I’ve been treated to masses of<br />
blooms both under as well as around<br />
the window. Each stem now has<br />
twice as many flowers. Now<br />
I’ve just got to get<br />
deadheading! For more<br />
