(Event 1) PRUNING SHRUB ROSES AND THE GLORY OF MOTTISFONT ABBEY - Featuring David Stone
This will be a video presentation from David Stone's lecture at
Ashdown Roses in the fall of 2006. David Stone is the Head Gardener at Mottisfont Abbey in Hampshire, England. Mottisfont
has one of the greatest rose gardens in the world with a long history of
preserving rose varieties that are no longer in commerce. After extensive research, they have learned to prune their shrub roses
differently in England, tending to prune less hard than we have done in the usa in the past. This type of pruning results in more blooming.
