| Hello, everybody. Can Austin's Falstaff really be grown as a climber? If so, how? And how big does it get? Thanks, bart |

| I think you'll get more replies if you post this on the rose section than the gallery section. I used to have Falstaff. Yes. It can be grown as a climber. The canes are stiff and thorny though. Mine used to shoot out long canes - like an octupus. If you want to grow Falstaff into a climber, it is best NOT to prune this rose whilst it is young. Let the long canes grow. I made the mistake of pruning this rose too hard and therefore, ruined its structure. Hard pruning makes this rose bloom more than grow. I got rid of mine because it mildew badly and I didn't like the way I pruned this rose. If you google 'Falstaff' and then click on the image page, there's this wonderful photo of this rose climbing onto the wall of somebody's house. |
