Some planting, pruning, tying and shaping trials. Your opinion?

9 years ago

For years, I had pruned my roses the classical way-as written in the books and I was bored from this technique. This year I tried some other styles. And there are already lots of blooms on them.
I would be very happy to hear your opinions. Here they are:

1. During pruning, i left 1 to 3 branches long in each of them to have a tree-type look

2. I bent and tied some branches to the neighboring bush. This is called the sussinghurst (?the spelling might be wrong) technique claiming that the tension on the branches causes the plant bloom faster and bigger. I think that is correct as there are many new pop-ups on these:

3. I wrapped some tree-type roses around other trees. Pine and Palm trees are the best for this.

4. I planted multiple roses together in an 'x' type or all mixed up between themselves. There are 8 types in this group, I pruned the little branches growing inwards of this group:

XXX style)):

5. I planted several tree-type roses in rows hoping that they will look wonderful next spring.

Thank you for your opinions and comments in advance.
