I have a climbing Rose that is a bit of a disaster! It grows against an arch but was never properly trained and now does its own thing - mostly a wild mess about 10 foot up. I think it suffered with the snow and now has a lot of thick, bare, dead looking stems with a few new leaves and some sorry-looking flowers.
I am loathe to dig it up as it was a house-warming present 10yrs ago. If I cut it right back to the ground am I likely to kill it completely or is it worth a shot to give it a second chance?
Any advice gratefully received!
