Hi Dave S and All,
I am not sure but I suspect flowering would depend more on
condition and size of the root system than on top growth age and guess
flowering possible by second year; guess only.
A well established plant has a wealth of reserves in the root
system so only sustained hacking will kill it. With this in mind it is
more effective to cut shoots 4-5 buds above ground so new shoot growth
will deplete root reserves and then brush these off before shoot
extension slows, indicating possible export to the root. I suggest you
keep an eye open for the thornless strain and keep these. They have tiny
thorns only which are usually shed early in growth; quite unlike the
large vicious thorns of some strains. If you do not have any thornless
strain you could probably locate some nearby and get rooted plants in a
month or so by layering new growth.
Dave W. Kentville
Based on memory, it has taken more than four years to kill one
thorned rose which did not have much competition; it still keeps
producing shoots which I brush off as needed.
