I bought my new house in July last year, in the front garden there are 3
rose bush which are really tall - approx 6 foot plus. When they were
flowering last year they looked lovely. I am used to having roses and
am aware of how to care for them and prune them.
However, my problem is that these bushes just seem too high. I pruned
them back as far as i could but the base of them resembles a tree bark,
this carries on for about 10 inches, maybe further on some. So for a few
feet, there is no grenery as they just look dead. The top is full of
greenery and buds ready to open now.
I am wondering if there is anything i can do to treat the bases of
these bushes to make them bud again and how to make them smaller.
