I think I was supposed to trim them back before it snowed all over them. I don't really know about roses and they don't produce many roses (possibly due to neglect). If it were up to me I'd replace them something else.

There are a couple of plants taking over everything that I need to dig up, or maybe just let them run wild. I have a rhubarb plant that dominates most things and I don't eat rhubarb, so I let it go way more than it should. But I discovered I really like the flowers so I kind of want to see those again this year. For a huge plant the flowers are small and delicate.

Hah, I would've told that nurse to fuck off. Ugh. Hope things help.

From what I've read you can prune them back after the last frost in the Spring.

Thanks! I am back from my tests with a falafel sandwich that the ltc is actually letting me eat, and I'm even going to go to the library bookstore to shelve books.

I pruned my zombie climbing rose back last fall, just before the first frost. It put out a couple defiant buds after that, probably for spite. There was a cultivated rose with delicate pink buds that I killed by transplanting it, but in its place, from the remaining rootstock I guess, grew this totally different, red rose that I call the zombie. I assume the pink had been grafted onto the red. I don't know about roses. But the wild rose that resurrected itself will not die. I mean, I'm not trying to kill it, but I'm not caring for it either.

It's in the mid-60s here today, so I went out and pruned the heck out of my climbing rose. It's super hardy, so it's more a case of hacking it back so it doesn't attack neighbors and my landlord than nurturing its growth and development.

Poor Audrey II, it doesn't get to have any snacks.

Maybe that's what happened to all the feral cats. It wasn't the TNR program, it was Audrey II the Zombie Climbing Rose.

I got a bill in the mail from the NP I'm seeing for meds management, it looks like the insurance rejected some of it. I can't tell. I am going to deal with it tomorrow in some way.

Saw my therapist, she agreed a leave of absence is a good idea and I'm going to see her 2-3 times a week. She wants me to do some kind of yoga or massage through the Center where I go for meds managment. I have to look into that. Right now the main focus is sleeping and eating.

I have a plan, I have back up plans. I feel safer.

Good, askye. That's good to know.

Glad to hear you feel better about the plan, askye.

It might be Doctor Huey. I don't know much about roses, but my MiL taught me that it's often used for rootstock, and most of the rootstock in my yard is Doctor Huey.
