This year I've had a new fence, and the rambler has been decimated, so I'm starting again. The remaining branches are supported, but I don't want it to get too wild.
This Rambler is ten years old and when new was batons were nailed to the brick wall on which a trellis was then nailed in which eyelet screws were placed, to ty the branches to it. The four stems were bent into a fan shape so it grew shoots up the stems and it started to cover an area 6 x 6 ft
It flowers for 3/4 months with hundreds of flowers and deadheads are constantly removed, it is pruned down !/3 in Autumn and thinned out a little
I never feed it but leaf mould does drop on it in autumn
The branches arch all over and it is 2ft deep I like it to look natural and not too tidy.
My heavy clay soil suits all Roses. So I am lucky
There is lots of information on Youtube about Ramblers.
