The rose bushes I have that are so pretty – the flowers are beautiful- In the autumn/winter I cut waaay back and take off the leaves also. The reason the leaves are taken off is prevent mildew during the winter. They grow back so quickly in the Spring and the blooms are so pretty. If I don’t cut them back they grow so wild with stems going every direction….however, I still wonder why something so beautiful has thorns….. Pastor, I so appreciate your “two minute” posts.
I love to prune, but I am not too crazy about being pruned.
