The new Summer Wine is an improvement but it is recommended that you prune after flowering and up until August 1 (in zone 5) stop pruning earlier if you are in a colder zone. This allows the plant time to set bud for the next year.<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-22725394912831580822011-08-27T14:37:35.248-05:002011-08-27T14:37:35.248-05:00Hi Fer,
