I'm always looking to new ways to train shrub roses with long canes. While leading my 2023 France Rose Garden I found a neat way of doing it at Roseraie du Val-de-Marne or better known as Roseraie de L'Haÿ. Check it out!
Very handy tip, Paul, thank you. I try stringing wires along the fence & tie in the longer branches - I have an inherited collection of oddments, that I don't really know what they are, & using the wires helps in numerous ways, stopping them getting wind blown & not so tempting for the possums! Beautiful gardens...
