Ramblers only flower for 4 to 6 weeks in mid summer but if you have the room they are well worth growing for that sensational period.  Apuldram roses also have some exciting new varieties that are smaller and repeat flower, creating that wonderful cottage garden romantic atmosphere without the thugery!  Pruning ramblers is always best done in the autumn as they flower on the growth made in the previous season, in autumn it is easier to see the difference between the new growth and the older stems.
