A Bumper Year For Roses

Despite their cold start, the roses are looking fabulous, but keep watering during dry spells

I pruned my roses in January again this year. Despite the late spring, with its cold, frosty weather and snow, my roses have been blooming like crazy since. The earlier pruning has certainly encouraged earlier flowering. Now they’re in full flower and I expect the second flush to start early as well.
