Just over a week ago I managed in between down pours to prune my beautiful rose which I think is called Compassion, although I'm not 100% sure as I received it as a cutting. I have given many cuttings away over the past ten years. It's a rose with an incredible scent & three good flushes of flowering from October through to May. I am told it is meant to be a climber, so I am trying with a cutting I took a couple of years ago, I will keep you posted.

The pruning stages

When it's flowering! Can you smell it??

Thanks for stopping by,
