I have a collected wild rose. It is a bonsai, as this one is.
Growth on roses is difficult to control. They tend to send up growth in canes. However, they do develop branching if they are pruned repeatedly over the years. Leaves reduce very well on some varieties. Mine has 1/2" leaves and smaller. It is an invasive variety that has small leaves to begin with. It's flowers aren't nearly as spectacular as this one though. They also drop branches quite easily in favor of new canes. I prune mine when new growth turns to wood. |

After all the trouble we've had lately with intellectual property land-grabs, mis-creditation of articles, and inter-Bonsai Forum slanging, you go and rip GW's content out from under their noses!!! Tsk Tsk! I've taken the liberty of editing that image to reflect it's original source, so that there is no mistaking that it comes from GardenWeb. Thanks. Bzzzzt.

Sure were a lot of popups there, annoying aren't they? That one that goes right in the middle of the screen....
 How do you sell something to someone, after you've irritated the dickens out of them?? I was reading an article today about advertising and bloggers. There are more bloggers lined up to accept advertising, than there is advertising money. Blogs are like forums, in that they tend to have loyal readers, and should be able to carve out some money for themselves if they are creative with the ads they get. Joanie

Thanks for the additional shots. The shoots look like they are less than a couple of years old at most. I prune new canes on mine when they lignify. I cut them in half or a third to the trunk. This usually produces two new shoots at the cut site. I allow those to grow unpruned until they lignify--prune back. This can happen two or three times in a season. The repeated pruning produces ramification and branching. It also, however, eliminates blooms. So you have to go for pruning one year, then leave the plant alone the next year.

I think i missed the original boat on this one, but...
A rose can be a bonsai. They are of the same family as apple, cherry, cottoneatser hawthorne and rowan and all of these are used for bonsai. It may just be that rose are the least suitable, but they still produce woody growth and leaves. This allows for trunk and branch development. Who cares if the leaves don't reduce well. You can get small leaved varieties the same as you can with any species which would be preferable and roses have the advantage of beautiful flowers. Just watch out for the thorns! Al
