I know its growth is arching, but mine looks flattened. Like someone sat right down in the center. Its a pancake rose bush. Should I be supporting this rose? Its only a 1.5 yrs old at this point. Should I lighten up the weight of the branches and prune them a bit? Thanks!

Sounds a lot like Henri to me. Unless you prop it up, Henri just slowly lies down on the ground. I use a peony hoop and that seems to make it look more graceful.

He gets a bit sturdier as he gets older and I do sometimes prune back the tips,but yes, he does go in for the limp look.

Shoot. I've got him in the wrong location then.

Thank you.

What a stunning picture! The light pink rose seems to me to be the very epitome of everything an old rose should be.

Jon,

I'm with Cath in wanting to know the name of the pink rose in the photo. It is beautiful!

Was wondering where you were hanging out, Jon.
