It is that time of year again. Time to prune roses.
Tell me, given the mild winter we have had how the heck am I suppose to prune roses? Several of mine are in flower and most have buds on them and have never lost their leaves.
This year really has been a bit winterless up north.
And then we got snow in Auckland LOL
I am a strong believer in leaving roses to their own devices if you haven't got the time to mollycoddle them. I did that when Sp1 was born followed by 2 and 3.
The result is that only one hybrid tea survived but several florabunders did and most of my old fashioned types flourished.
