It’s that time again, rose pruning time. Time to sharpen those secateurs and loppers to cut those rose bushes down to size.
I’ve covered rose pruning in previous posts so I won’t go into it in this post. If I was more clever I would put a link in to connect you to past rose pruning posts. But I’ve yet to learn that particular trick.
Instead I’ll just share a few photos of some roses I salvaged from my pruning job today.
It may be a little ridiculous, but when I’m pruning any flowering shrub or other plant and there are still flowers left, I feel a little pang in my heart to see them lying on the ground. I must save them from going to waste!
So, I prolong their life by photographing them then putting them in a vase to be enjoyed further. It’s a silly little thing, but it makes me feel good, so there’s that.
A lot of Australian natives are flowering too, even in winter time there’s beauty to be found.
Til next time!
