I have bought my first rose, and it happened to be RdV. I am a beginner gardener so am a bit worried as everybody says roses are difficult to grow, but I want to try. when can I expect to see it blossom again? should cutting be done in Feb/March as I have read? thanks a lot

my Sears Reine bloomed once last year. big disappointment. perhaps this year it will be better established and make me happier. Frau Karl Druschki looks nice and repeats much better.

It's about four years old now, so I think it's probably time to consider pruning it. I think February might be a good time to prune in your climate. Even at four years of age, I would not to prune it too severely. Maybe trim to shape, removing no more than 1/3 of a cane. Remove dead canes. Be sure to feed it and mulch it well a month or so after pruning.

This rose responds very well to pegging down.

Pegging down isn't as good as espaliering in warm climates, where weeds continue to grow all the year.
