ROSE HINTS 
& 
Ground canes are the best wood on a rose bush. 
They are the soft new wood coming from around 
the bud union, with foliage and thorns identical 
to the older growth. Suckers come from below 
the bud union and have entirely different foliage, 
thorns and color. Suckers should be cut out as 
soon as identified. 
Pruning is very important and should be done 
during the dormant period. Leave new wood 
cutting out as much of the old wood as is possible 
to still retain the form of the plant. Cut new 
wood back about half way and to an outside eye. 
However you must prune according to the in' 
dividual plant as no set rule applies to all.
