If it turns out to be a rambler, pruning time for those is actually September not Spring, but again, till you know what it is, you'll have to take a chance with the procedure I've suggested. | |

Sorry to ask one more thing: is it best to leave these thicker stems be? I have read that I should cut any thicker, 'bark-like' stems back completely and let the newer, thinner, greener ones grow instead. | |
