So this rose looks nothing like it did when it first opened, which is pretty cool. It's pollinated and nearly died off now, so I took some pictures of the flower and of the training I've done to my roses in general, by means of pinching and bending the branches.
Like tomato plants and cannabis plants, roses love to be twisted and bent. The entire concept of bonsai is built on training slow growing plants with these techniques.
Every time a branch grows tall, I pinch and bend it over like shown in these photos.
So long as you do this without actually snapping the stem, you'll have results like this, bending branches that reach back up to the sun. It'll get knobby there, creating a stronger point.
