There's definitely an art to cutting back roses - sometimes I have it, sometimes I don't lol. Did you know there are thornless ( prickle less doesn't sound right!) roses. What was the name of the one with the broken stem? Take card Cathy
I do really love, love my roses and always look forward to that week in November when they burst into flowers. But pruning time has me swearing at them, those thorns are a pain!
Really Great ! Wonderful thorns!
ReplyDeleteGloves are mandatory when dealing with roses! But the scent of roses - glorious - makes it worthwhile. :)

Beautiful photo Tamara! Nature can be so scary, can't it?
ReplyDeleteDid you know roses don't have thorns, they are in fact technically prickles - useless fact No 45!!! Love the smell of roses though

ReplyDeleteOuch, they are doozies. Love how roses smell though!
ReplyDeleteI love roses, but yes I agree, thorns not so much!
ReplyDeleteYes those thorns are super nasty! The flowers are stunning however...
ReplyDeleteI don't love thorns either but roses I couldn't do without.
