Hello, I planted a small Cramoisi Superieur in my garden and it seems to be happy and growing. My question is about pruning? Info on this site says ' can be pruned to maintain a shorter habit ' then goes on to say
'Prune lightly or not at all'. I'm just wondering what to do about my plant since I'm pretty sure I can't let it go without pruning. it will need to be regularly pruned to keep it in bounds. Thank you

I personally prune mine back in the late winter to 3-4 feet, usually removing maybe 50% with no apparent ill-effects.

Thank you, Lee H. That is very helpful information. I will do the same with my plant.

My Cramoisi Superior reached 8 foot tall and 10 foot wide. It gets very huge in the Houston, TX area. It smells divine and makes pretty cut flowers and looks good in arrangements with other antique roses. It blooms profusely almost all year long. No disease and no insect problems. Why hasn’t it been given the Earthkind designation yet? The only problem with this rose is that it gets too big!

Per the paper linked below (in Table 4, beginning on the paper's page 28), this rose is triploid. I am cross-posting this comment on all others mentioned which do not already have their ploidies mentioned in their descriptions.
