Roses

I pruned our roses today. It is probably a little late for rose pruning, but that one of the reasons they're great plants. They'll pretty much take whatever you do (or don't do) to them and still give you a bunch of lovely blooms come spring.

I'd forgotten how much I enjoy pruning roses. There's something about it that I find very calming and relaxing (apart from one nasty incident with some thorns). Our roses are now looking very structured and ready for their spring burst of growth.
