when do I prune Roses?
The "Good Old Days?"
I recently discovered an old book from the Edwardian Era, entitled "Handbook On Pruning Roses" by the then National Rose Society, (Before the "Royal"was added).
The book is very informative, listing all the popular roses of the day and an astounding 39 methods of rose pruning!
Naturally this gem of a book was aimed at the English Gentry who employed many gardeners .
It is little wonder that a great mystique has surrounded the pruning of roses and exists to this day.
