Day 2 - 19 more Roses Pruned

Today was a beautiful sunny winter's day, just perfect for working in the garden. In an effort to get as many roses pruned in the same week in order to maximize synchronized flowering I achieved 19 plants. 8 standards and 11 climbers. 

Before - Standard Ambridge and climbing Iceberg.

A couple of Ambridge blooms.


Afrer - Much better! Just need to go back and replace the stakes for stronger
 metal ones that I have ready and waiting.

Standard Molineux and climbing Graham Thomas

Standard Molineux. These standards have already had their stakes
replaced out of necessity earlier in the year
.

Climbing Pinkie
Using the large loppers I was able to remove some rather old and thick canes.
I still have to go back and tie the remaining canes to the fence.
