Several years ago I planted R. Kiftsgate at the base of an old oak tree at our gate and its now making a lovely show of flowers and hips. The trouble is I have recently read several references to the extraordinary vigour of this plant and am worried it could eventually overwhelm the oak. I would appreciate your advice.

Could I have done damage if I gave my rambler/ climbing rose a pruning now at the end of November? Think it is a rambler as new plant growth comes up from the base?

Can I train a rose to become a standard rose bush? I can not find but few in the garden centres and they are not impressive. I already have a red and yellow standard rose bought in Tipperary 3 or 4 years ago but want a pink, peach or white one also. Could a bush rose be teased into becoming a standard one by training a main branch, removing suckers etc?
