Paul's Hymalayan Musk rambler
Its out of control this year, three years growth and its enormous, I don't know where to start.
Could I cut it back to about five ft all over and start again or will I lose next years flowers.
thank you for any help.x

If you can, find the long lateral branches that are heading the direction you want. Use these as a frame and take of the growth coming up from them, these laterals will break away next year for more flowers. Hope this makes sense? Anything that is heading off in a direction you don't want, take off.
This may not be the correct thing to do, but its how I keep mine managable
