Hi.
I live in the USA, in Arizona. I have numerous Hybrid Teas and miniatures. I also have a 60" weeping tree rose. The weeping tree rose doesn't seem to be very common around here. Are they common in Europe? I have found almost no information on caring for a weeping tree rose. It is weeping to the ground from about 6 or 7 feet up. Can anyone tell me how I should prune this variety? Nobody here seems to know. Should I prune it way back, like my teas and minis? Or should I be pretty much "hands off", like a climber? Or somewhere in between? And can I expect year round blossoms? Or once blooming, in the springtime? It is a Weeping Fuschia Meidiland, 3 years old.
Any books or literature that anybody could recommend for this variety?
Thanks from the American Southwest.

| I went on meilland "site", to see what they propose for pruning! they say you can prune it , the cascading part, at the lengh you want it to be; the fushia meidilland is a paysage" variety, that grow in big bushes and so, as it is grafted on a "tree",you prune what you want! didn't see anything about the blooming time! |
