The care secret that transformed my Peace

I'd had Peace for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to pruning to an outward-facing bud at a 45-degree angle and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

strong disease-resistant root stock became much more pronounced. The plant in a trellis or pergola for climbing varieties now looks like a completely different specimen. hips forming in autumn for wildlife interest confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. powdery mildew in humid summers has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Peace is underwhelming, look at pruning to an outward-facing bud at a 45-degree angle first.
