“Never had this happen where a single branch on multiple plants takes off like a shot.”
When I get a ‘shooter’ I always prune it back. I grow really easy-care roses - don’t want to mess with them beyond the basics. I just find it unsightly, so I prune them back.
That said, I am pinging Bon who grows GORGEOUS roses.
Thanks...I too grow easy to care for roses. My lovely wife buys these small $6.99 potted roses at the grocery store for me. I now have a garden set aside for these roses and they are beautiful! I have no idea or clue to variety. This year several of them has ‘shooters’ flying high loaded with blooms. Kind of unsightly, but I still hate to prune such beauty...
