    My David Austin rose, The Generous Gardener, is becoming too top heavy and needs a haircut at the end of summer. I don't want it to go into the winter so top heavy, as the wind can really damage it. My rose is a repeat bloomer and usually repeat bloomers don't need the haircut at the end of summer, only when they become too big and heavy. My rose is 7-8 years old.

    I recently found your channel and have been binge watching your videos, lol. Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge. This year I bought my first climber and it’s The Generous Gardener, seeing yours is such an inspiration, it’s absolutely gorgeous!! Hoping I can get to grow as lovely as yours on a trellis.

      Hi Cynthia! Wonderful, welcome aboard and let’s garden together! And you’ve got yourself The Generous Gardener! First climber, congratulations!
      I am planning to buy another climber for the front of my house. Feeling like a kid in the candy store : so many good options…

      Thank you Wen, yes, that is one of big jobs in my garden. Glad I did it before we had this horrible rain/wind storm here in North East.

      I know, that climber needed to be downsized. And I am glad that I did it yesterday, we have rain all day today.

    Thanks for sharing, I originally discovered your channel in search of information about the generous gardener rose; this is helpful for future as mine is so little now☺️.

    Yaaaay! Thank you for that super video! Really enjoyed it! I have a lot of climbers growing but are still young. I always wondered though, what about all the lateral canes that grow out from the main canes? Do we just leave those? Maybe during your winters they die off by themselves??? I don't have winters like that here in Hawaii. What do I do with those lateral canes? Trim them off?? Ty Olga for all your help!!!😁🙏🌈🌟🌟🤙🌹

      Sunshine Lee, you are my best idea person. I bet that a lot of folks don't know what to do with those long lateral shoots. I will do a video on this topic. Have a great day in Hawaii!

    May i ask , how often do you spray your rose with insecticide?, thank you.

    • @OlgaCarmody
      @OlgaCarmody  2 роки тому +1

      I do Rose Rx 3 in 1 spray maybe 2-3 times a year. This rose is very healthy, never had any problems with it.
