This was one of my moms fav roses. I found one this spring at the garden center and just had to have it. I quit growing Teas years ago because of their many "needs" and now I'm remembering why. This rose has black spot which I have been spraying for but, the canes are quite thin and spindly. My question is, do I cut the entire rose back at this time of year and hope it cames back sronger? Will it come back at all? Thoughts, tips, any ideas? TIA Kate |

I wouldn't do a drastic pruning anymore this season. Maybe by a third to 1/2, and keep spraying. Make sure you clean up the area around the rose also, don't let any infected leaves stay on the ground. Next spring prune it back to the ground and spray as early as possible. Hope this helps Sass |
