So last weekend I pruned the roses, fairly hardcore. When my roommate saw them she was like - they look so ugly now! I was like it's OK, now they will show a burst of fresh energy and grow even more beautiful.
At least that's what I've heard.
From more than one source. So I have been watching this all week and this appears true for several of the plants. Although the climbing rose plant does not look too happy. I now have many cuttings being stored in a bucket that I will plant around the property. Here are some before/after pictures.
Lot's of buds and diseased leaves. I cut that down and found:
Pruning leaves you so naked...
With a burst of good energy for the better to come (growth from only a week long!)
In other pruning news, I took care of the berries, and my hair, but not yet the grapes. I also put in all these transplants: red kale, purple mizuna and purple rapa asian greens, golden and red sage, catnip, flashback calendula, imperial star and purple italian artichoke. The purple italian artichoke is choking! I keep it in my thoughts.
