They are great if you have ONLY those...but they will strangle stuff! <BR/>As for your Clematis...try pinching off the ends and that will cause it to branch out. They also will die down to the ground every year...so you'll have to repinch every year. to get them to bush out. As with all roses...try to keep them pruned to a Five-leafed stem...that would be where new growth springs from, so anytime you are cutting off the flowers, which should never be left on the rosebush, take it down to a five leafed section...also allowing the bush to branch out, thereby producing more flowers...same with that the petunias and impatiens in your hayrack planter...pinch them back...bigger plants, and more blooms.<BR/><BR/>Robin<BR/>MistackL2@aol.comRobin https://www.blogger.com/profile/18424998545248497334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343357795610505281.post-85591519726521419972008-07-08T13:37:00.000-07:002008-07-08T13:37:00.000-07:00Hi Girly!!Ive been ssoooooo delinquent about my bl...Hi Girly!!<BR/>Ive been ssoooooo delinquent about my blogging, and am sorry.<BR/>I love your invasive morning glory.

You can keep pulling or you can spray it with a little roundup. Is the hydrant cemented in the ground? Oh my?! Maybe you could plant some more climbing rose bushes around that? Everything will fill in...and looks great!~*Marie*~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08537096988809295063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343357795610505281.post-62914639705206206722008-07-02T15:04:00.000-07:002008-07-02T15:04:00.000-07:00Hey Laurie Anne,Um that plant would be morning glo...Hey Laurie Anne,<BR/>Um that plant would be morning glory and it is a very invasive plant here.
