I pruned my rose bushes at the beginning of this week and these were the flowers on them at the time. With the icy conditions we are having I am amazed there were even any flowers at all when I returned home from Johannesburg. I have no idea how to prune anything, but the article I was reading on the internet said to cut them back by half or two thirds of their size. Two thirds seemed a little radical so I cut them down to half the height and then thinned out all the branches going in to the centre. Hopefully the roses will respond well to my amateur attempt
Lovely shot of lovely roses. I’m with you on the pruning…I should not be left alone with secateurs. I had a go at my lemon tree over the weekend and had to walk away to stop myself destroying it.
