CUTTING ROSES
“One way in which you can help your roses is when you cut the blooms. Cut the first lot with stems as long as you can. You see, cutting roses is a form of pruning and if you cut pretty hard for the first lot, the rose bush will make more growths and produce what we call a second flush. This next lot, and any roses thereafter, don’t cut with such long stems, because there isn’t really time for the bush to make new growths which can get ripened up before growth slows in the autumn.”—Fred Loads, garden expert, in the 8.8. C. radio magazine “Home This Afternoon.”
