Zuzu, I was thinking about your comment about pruning roses. I recall you writing an article, a while back, about studies showing that roses do not perform better if pruned. I'm curious - do you still prune your roses? Since reading your article & another along the same lines, I tend to shape, more than prune, my bush roses now. I generally prune the hybrid teas, so they don't get too leggy, but I only have 4 of those...
