Still Pruning Roses...

  Yesterday I pruned & mulched a few more Roses, feeding them lots of goodness to set them up for a stunning show again this Summer. ⁠
  Not that the Rose bushes show much appreciation... My hands are crisscrossed with scratches, despite wearing gloves.⁠
  Pruning Roses is a bit like tickling a friendly Tom cat who purrs, winds it's way around your legs, then rolls over to have his tummy tickled... & wham! Those claws are straight in to the soft fleshy bit of your hand. If you've ever had a cat, you'll know just what I mean.⁠
  Anyway, no hard feelings towards the Roses, they're worth a bit of pain. And today a picture of deliciously scented Roses in sunshine is exactly what I need. This was a new one planted last year, & hopefully it'll be producing plenty of blooms soon.⁠
