| I pruned back this rose by at least half last yr.. It was 6-7ft and 9yrs old. It was one of my best performers, but last year it seemed old and tired and just not performing well ( like me hahaha)This year it is the last rose to start leafing out, is this normal after such a severe pruning.

| I have a KvD grafted onto multiflora from Pickering that is going into it's second spring. Of all the albas it is the slowest to leaf out. I follow Olga's advice on pruning the once bloomers and cut it back after it's small flowering display last spring. It grew back nicely but is slow to leaf out. I did the same thing to all my once bloomers and KvD is the only leaf-laggard of the bunch. was this the first time you'd really pruned it? I have so little experience with the albas I don't really know - but maybe KvD leafs slowly after being pruned. Gean |

Sorry for the double posting of my comments, but the comments didn't show up the first time I posted, but then whoops, now there are two. Gean |
