Tip of the Week

Buy good quality anvil rose shears/secateurs. The best type are those by Felco: My own pair of Felco no 5 have lasted 23 years and prune hundreds of roses, not to mention shrubs every year. Felcos are expensive, but you get what you pay for!
Long handled loppers/pruners can be useful for particularly thick branches and tough dead wood.
