My parent's next door neighbors are in a rose society. They have beautiful rose bushes that are covered with amazing blooms. They let my mom borrow a video showing how to prune and take care of rose bushes. I watched it too and couldn't wait for the right time to get to work. So a few months ago the time came. I stripped off all the leaves from the previous year, and cut the canes at the right spots and did everything the video showed. Keith didn't quite get what I was doing, and thought that our rose bush looked sickly. I just told him to wait. I should have taken pictures of what it looked like at the previous stages. Sure enough, beautiful, healthy foliage started growing and then we had dozens of buds getting ready to open, and now it's covered with roses! Ta-da! It worked! How satisfying; I love gardening!
