I planted Duchess of Albany in the fall of '07 and it's been very vigorous. As you can see it has pretty much outgrown the trellis it's on. My question is, whats better to do - leave it get big and "fold" back down or prune it as it gets too high? When it folds down it covers so many flowers... What is your advice?
