March is here and it is time to prune your roses. Newly planted roses which were planted from November until now should be pruned in the 3rd week of March, whilst more established roses can now be pruned.
Due to covid-19 and current restrictions we are regretfully unable to hold our pruning demonstrations on site, where we normally raise money for selected charities. However, to reach as many of our customers as we can and to assist with the pruning of roses, we have prepared time lapses, photos and videos, which we hope will assist you.
Please see below some videos showing you how to prune your roses and time lapses showing how your roses will look before and after pruning. You may be taken through to our brand new YouTube Channel.
