This is my climbing rose, and this year it is doing itself proud and climbing everywhere, showing many bunches of buds that are flowering constantly.

Chronicles of an Anglo Swiss
Welcome to the Anglo Swiss World
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain!
My "bump" was in 2016 when, aged 48, I suffered a stroke. This blog charts my recovery. (Header clipart licensed by pngguru.com.)
Retired and Enjoying Every Minute of It
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.

It’s a beautiful colour. I was going to vote mine down, but now you’ve made me think again.

I cut mine back every Autumn and it returns the next year with its flowers again.

I don’t know how ‘vote’ got in my first reply, but I guess you realised I meant chop. Mine doesn’t produce well and makes picking fruit a hazard.

Does it get pruned while dormant for winter? The most common problem that I encounter with roses is that they do not get pruned aggressively enough. Pruning stimulates more vigorous vegetative growth for the following season, which blooms more prolifically. (Of course, some bramble roses bloom only once for spring, without much subsequent bloom for summer.)

I think it might be in the latter category, although I prune it harshly each year, as a climber. I think it’s a papa meilland although the colour has faded.

‘Papa Meilland’ is a climbing rose? I am unfamiliar with it.

It was touted as an upright vigorous tea rose, but perhaps the not-so-reputable source from which I got it did a switch. For me it has always been spindly and sprawling in any situation and so I currently train it on one of our fences. Any blooms are so heavy they nod down, looking dejected rather than joyous. Digging it up takes several years as it keeps returning. It might meet its end this year.

If it climbs, perhaps pendulous bloom is an advantage. They would be less visible if they faced upward while already up and above.
