Hi,

I have two hybrid tea roses in my garden that I planted last year, well this year they started off perfectly until a few days of rain out here in NC. Now my roses are hunched over to the ground. will they recover? or should I prune the ones that are hanging over. today is 4/08/08 it's not raining anymore the weather is 61 degrees right now the rest of the week will not be raining I hope they are okay Thank you all in advanced.

Are you talking about new growth on your roses? I'm not quite clear on that. If it's old growth, than by all means give them a haircut.

thank you for your help:)

I gave them a hair cut and they look great thanks for the advice I guess it was old growth they were way to tall and crowded together I got rid of the weak canes. they were very happy after that:)

Excellent!! I lost one of my big ramblers, sigh. But the other's are doing well and are starting to 'wake up"! I can hardly wait.
