Just joining your message base . Am a fairly new gardener from Hamilton 
Ontario
and a brand new bbser. Am interested in growing an English style garden and
herbs- possibly developing into some sort of home-based business. Am 
resently
interested in pruning - especially climbing roses. I have one that is 3 years
old and 6 feet high. Do I need to cut it back? or only if I want to change 
it's
shape. I also have 7 brand new ones I don't know when to prune. Also other 3
year old flowering shrubs which are still pretty small. Any suggestions would
be appreciated and also any responses from anyone with similar interests.
