With a lot of help from everyone here and the lady that sold me my last batch of roses, I took the courage to prune back all my plants.
Please understand my mentality, if the plant has green stems, I can't interrupt that. Seems that has been my problem with many plants I grow. So I end up with leggy, non-bushy plants. I am trying to break this thinking pattern, and I may be having some success.
So with encouragement , I bucked up and butchered.
Although nothing is blooming right now, I wanted to share the results of the hard prune this winter. I am tickled over how it has helped.
