Over the years I've trimmed mine so it branches along the top of the wall rather than in front of it so I doubt I can cut it to the ground - but I might try cutting it back to what is, in effect, the top of its trunk. In some ways I'm glad it is not as vigorous as it was because it could, some years, be almost overwhelming. Lovely while the flowers while in bloom it but an enormous challenge once the new growth startsed growing - and waving around . . . and grabbing the apple tree . . . and the washing line . . .Esther Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05412078991551799972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-251762579717763962014-03-29T04:34:30.218+00:002014-03-29T04:34:30.218+00:00Especially when they eat essential electric wires!...Especially when they eat essential electric wires!!!!Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-19276819454226265332014-03-29T04:33:47.151+00:002014-03-29T04:33:47.151+00:00How very true.How very true.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-78468107698556578042014-03-29T01:30:31.522+00:002014-03-29T01:30:31.522+00:00So pretty...and smells nice too.

After about nine years with masses of flowers, this year's offering is frugal. I'm not sure if this is because of the exceptionally wet and windy winter we've just had or because it is coming to the end of its natural life. Do you know how long one should expect it to last in the usual way of things?Esther Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05412078991551799972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-2698966839775809302014-03-28T12:41:12.193+00:002014-03-28T12:41:12.193+00:00Very scenic.Very scenic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-24232162593496110612014-03-28T11:54:59.809+00:002014-03-28T11:54:59.809+00:00Merci!Merci!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787732343048847565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-31186946562901050982014-03-28T10:59:26.435+00:002014-03-28T10:59:26.435+00:00Well done!Well done!Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-58752644282297489652014-03-28T09:51:17.387+00:002014-03-28T09:51:17.387+00:00Some people like bare walls; I like mine totally c...Some people like bare walls; I like mine totally covered in greenery.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-43816889506339712112014-03-28T09:48:42.825+00:002014-03-28T09:48:42.825+00:00Pretty soon that little house will be a nicely sha...Pretty soon that little house will be a nicely shaped bush.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-5274019367371067202014-03-28T07:41:48.250+00:002014-03-28T07:41:48.250+00:00A happy accident indeed.A happy accident indeed.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-68180528079805759882014-03-28T07:19:59.412+00:002014-03-28T07:19:59.412+00:00WELCOME HOME (in advance).WELCOME HOME (in advance).Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-55192413872891267452014-03-28T07:18:03.041+00:002014-03-28T07:18:03.041+00:00That looks stunning, very pretty.
