I keep going back and forth in my mind over Vavoom. Then again, I have no room for any more roses anyway !
Funny you should mention Cecile B. Last week, mine finally toppled the fence it was up against so it's going bye bye, unfortunately. It fell on top of the shed belonging to the people on the other side of the fence.
I almost feel like I'm commiting some kind of horticultural crime by removing it. The thing is massive and home to many many scrub jays as well as a possum who has lived in the thickest part of it for years.
When I remove it, will it send up suckers all over the place ? It was 24 years ago that I planted it so I don't remember if it's grafted or what.
